Dear PoPville

“Do readers have any recommendations for jewelry repair stores?”

“Dear PoPville,

Do readers have any recommendations for jewelry repair stores? This question was last asked in 2011 but I’m sure a lot of those places have, sadly, closed since then.

I recently (as in two years ago, ha) inherited some jewelry from my grandmother and I’d to get it cleaned/inspected before wearing it. Other things I am considering doing are getting the pieces appraised, pearls restrung, stones re-set, etc so this is potentially a big job and I’d like to use someone reputable.

I’ve never owned even remotely valuable jewelry so I have no clue where to start. Any other things I should be aware of?”
