"Mariel was an amazing help. I wanted to get my father's wedding band re-sized (enlarged) to fit me. Mariel explained the procedure and I agreed. She was very thoughtful and helpful. She was able to stretch it instead of having to cut it. She stretched it until it was perfect. I asked how much, and she said NO CHARGE! I wanted to pay she wouldn't except it and said, I can't except tips. Thank You so much, I will have this ring and memory forever. I also went here once before to replace the batteries on my watch's, and they charged me less than anyone else..."
