Selling jewelry?  
I have a couple of pieces of fine jewelry (gold, platinum, precious gems and such) that I'd like to sell. I want to get a decent price for them. Does anyone know of a good place to sell such things in Somerville or Cambridge?

D² on Highland Ave  
This store is awesome. I'm very happy with the quality of merchandise and I wish them much success in Davis Square.
I bought some amazing jewelry, a Davis Square shirt, a box of almond soaps, a "Lucky Pennies" sign for my back entry and a few other things.

Just like any new business, it takes time to work out the kinks, house a good inventory and find a balance of creating the vision that is in harmony and compatible with the neighborhood and the market. And so far, they're doing a great job. I'm looking forward to popping in on a regular basis. They are friendly and helpful, and I'm going back!

And even if you're not in the market for buying something, you have to check out the switch plate on the wall to the left as you come in the door. It's the coolest copper design. It's official, I'm in love.

Watch battery replacement?  
Anybody know a cheap place to get a watch battery replaced in Davis? I used to go to a inexpensive jeweler in the Sq. till he closed a few years ago. Last time I got it done in Harvard Sq. at a watch store and they charged me like $30 ....which is probably nearly 1/2 the value of the actual watch at this point! Thanks in advance.

Jewelry Repair?  
Hi!

Any good, inexpensive place in Davis (or red line) to get delicate box chains (silver, gold) repaired?


Don't know how I keep breaking them...

Engraving on Antiques  
Have you had anything engraved in the Davis area or elsewhere? I need to get something engraved that is antique, so it needs to be a jeweler or something akin to a jeweler. Thoughts?

Jewelry Shop?  
Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for a store that will have nice rings (eg the stones are real) but isn't too expensive. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Jewelry repair in somerville  
I have a ring that needs to be resized. Any good jewelry repair places in the area? How long does it take and how much does it usually cost? I'm clueless about these things so any suggestions would be appreciated.

Ivory jewelers  
Are there any jewelers in the area (even further into Boston, if there's no one local) who work with/can fix ivory? I have a bracelet with a cracked bead, and I'd like to get the bead fixed somehow--or the bracelet restrung without it. Are there jewelers around who could do this? How much does something like that cost?

(Before anyone jumps on the "ivory is poaching and you're evil for owning it" train, I should point out that this is fossilized mammoth ivory; the animal very clearly was done using it several thousand years ago.)

where to fix a bracelet?  
Hi neighbors!

I bought watch and the bracelet is too big. Can you direct where it can be fixed - need to take out a couple of sections/links?

thanks in advance!
Kate

P.s. it's not a rocket science and I can try tp do it myself, but the screws are so small - can hardly see them... and I don't want to scratch the watch.

Anyone know of places in the area that appraise watches and jewelry?

How about places that buy old gold?

Thanks.

jewelry repair  
Do you guys know of a good, affordable local jewlery repair shop? My Star of David broke off of its chain and I hope to have it fixed before Hanukkah... I could go to this place I went to before in Harvard Sq., but I'd prefer to stay in town. Thanks!
