Jewelry and Watch Repair in Troy, MI
Jewelry and watches carry stories, memories, and value that deserve expert care. At Alan James Jewelers, we specialize in fine jewelry and watch repair services across Troy, Michigan, delivered in a way that’s convenient, secure, and completely personal. We operate exclusively by appointment, meeting you at a public location such as a local Starbucks, your home, or another safe space in Troy.
We don’t expect you to come to a store. Instead, we bring our expertise directly to you. During each appointment, we assess your piece, discuss what needs to be done, and provide a clear explanation of repair options and costs. Whether it’s resizing a cherished ring, replacing a lost stone, or restoring the polish of a family heirloom, every repair receives precision, care, and attention to detail.
Why Professional Jewelry Repair Matters
Jewelry is often worn daily, which exposes it to wear and tear. Over time, prongs loosen, clasps weaken, and stones become dull or dislodged. Watches may stop ticking due to battery or movement issues. Having your jewelry inspected and serviced regularly ensures that every piece continues to look and perform its best.
Professional repair not only restores appearance but also preserves value. At Alan James Jewelers, we use advanced tools and techniques to ensure long-lasting results. Every service is completed by experienced professionals who understand the importance of both craftsmanship and sentiment.
