Do all watch repair jewelers mark initials and date inside the case when they work on antique watches? I have an Elgin ladies pocket watch. I believe it is gold and is quite ornate, with a picture of a village on the front and a bird with a banner and flowers on the back. Both are surrounded with a border of flowers and leaves, and the circumference of the watch has a scalloped border. The earliest jewelers mark I can read is 1935. I am trying to learn the age of the watch. I would also like to know if it can be repaired. It runs but I cannot set the time.

What are the high class Jewelers? I have come to the realization that it's more important to a girl where the jewlery came from rather than what it is. For example, Jewelery from Tiffanys is way better than Jewelry from a mall store regardless of which piece is nicer. There isn't a Tiffanys near by that I know of, so I was wondering what some of the other ones like Tiffanys are.

Anyone know of any Moissanite jewelers in the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area? My boyfriend and I are considering purchasing a Moissanite engagement ring instead of a real diamond. We are both working on our Master's and we just bought a house, so we are looking to cut costs wherever we can. Plus, I have read that Moissanite looks just as good as a real diamond. We would rather spend $800 on a ring instead of $5,500. Does anyone out there have experience buying Moissanite in the Cincinnati, OH or Northern Kentucky area? Give me some ideas!

Kay Jewelers Sale November 1st? I'm not sure if its just the local Kay Jewelers store or if its nationwide, but I was just wondering if your Kays is having a sale on November 1st.

They have a sale November 1st and I'm just curious if its ONLY November 1st or if its a few days long.
Kay Jewelers Assistant Manager position/pay? Anyone ever worked in management for Kay's or any other Sterling Jewelers subsidiaries? (if that's the right word) Marks & Morgan, Friedlanders, Belden, JB Robinson, etc. Right, I've been with Kay's a year at the end of this month. I got promoted to 3rd key after three months, but didn't get a raise for doing so, which I later found out I should have. Now they want to promote me to Assistant Manager but I've heard that many people have gotten shafted with their raise. Of course they are going to try to give me a crap raise, but I figure since I didn't get one with the first promotion, and since I'm one of the top sellers, have never called out etc. then I'm worth a decent raise. Problem is, since you can't discuss pay, I don't know what to expect. I don't want to take an offer thinking I'm making out well, to find out I got screwed. Anyone have any idea what to expect? I make $9.75/hr now. Please any help! I think it's all going to end up happening very quickly!!

Do I have basis for a lawsuit against Friedmans jewelers, would it even be worth it? Back in 2004 my husband proposed and bought me a 1.5 carat diamond ring from Friedman Jewelers. Recently they filed Chapter 7 (liquidation) and Chapter 11 (Bankruptcy). On my wedding band one of the baguettes is missing and needs to be replaced and repaired and he did purchase the warranty. The ring was abou $2000 and the warranty was $150 dollars lifetime. I left the ring for almost a month and was called by the manager to pick it up because they wouldn't repair due to the bankruptcy/liquidation filing. Question is, Would it be worth it to file in small claims court to sue for the cost of repair and stone and cost of the warranty (I have a friend that's a jeweler that is going to fix the ring), being that they are filing Chapter 7 and 11? Would I even have a chance? I went back yesterday to pick up my ring. I was thinking about them selling it off...I've heard of it happening before..supposedly the stores are all closing within 90 days.

is this a joke....A fat lady went into a jewelers shop? A fat lady went into a jewelers shop and approached the glass counter to check out the merchandise and on bending down she broke wind,she was humiliated as all the other customers were staring at her.so she asked the assistant how much the watch was and he replied,madam if you fart when you were looking at it you will schitt yourself when I tell you the price ................. Bear and a rabbit were taking a dump beside each other in the forest and after they had finished their ablutions the bear asked the rabbit did he have any trouble getting his fur messed up.The rabbit replied no mother nature has sorted that one out for us as we are genetically modified to self clean.The rabbit was feeling quite smug as he looked at the bear who lifted him up and cleaned his backside with him saying,thats cool now clean that.
Info on/ price range of Robbins Brothers compared to other Jewelers? I'd like some tips before heading to the store if anyone has been to Robbins Bros. Would you say they are overpriced or have decent deals? Does Robbins Bros. carry a nice selection of rings in the under $1500 range? They don't list prices on their website. Do they list them on the pieces instore? Would their prices compare more to Kays (which seem to have a good selection of moderately priced rings on there website) or snobby, overpriced jewelery stores? The reason I'm concerned is we had a HORRIBLE experience engagement ring shopping the first time out. We'd like to avoid that in the future. My fiance & I walked into our neighborhood, privately owned jewelers (Mulloys) to look at engagement rings. They immediately led us to the platinum, designer, big ol honken' rock case and when I asked to look at some white gold rings under $1500 she looked at me like I was hobo and asked "Is that just for the setting?" and showed me a thin white gold band w/ a CZ! eff those people!

How to deal with Private Jewelers? My boyfriend and I are going to Jeweler's Row in Chicago, and we have a couple appointments to look at rings. Does anyone have any tips on how we can deal with them or any questions that we should ask?
Custom Jewelers in Texas? My boyfriend and I have been looking at engagement rings. We're pretty specific about what we want: a diamond and sapphire ring with pretty extensive filigree work in the Art Deco style. And honestly most of the diamond and sapphire rings we've seen in stores are just flat ugly. So, we're beginning to think that most mass made rings just aren't for us, even the vintage inspired ones. He doesn't like the thought of estate jewelry. So, we've opted to create one. Our budget on both the engagement and wedding ring is about 14k. Can anyone recommend a jeweler in Texas who can do this type of work? I'm especially thinking about the filigree as it seems pretty complicated. Thanks. Thanks for the links, but I've seen them all before. I have spent hours upon hours online-- This is why I hope someone knows something that I've missed.
Kay Jewelers Song? Does anyone know the name of the song that's in the majority of the Key Jeweler's commercials? I'm pretty sure that it's not that Christmas one, but this one is just the piano, and if I'm not mistaken, there are no words in it. Thanks!

kay jewelers/jared jewelers credit cards michigan? ok......so I applied for the kays and jared card on the same day. I ended up recieving both cards, what I found out was both cards are from the same company and SHARE the same credit limit. The thing is....on my credit report it shows both cards and they have a 2100 dollar credit limit a piece even though its shared. I called them about this and they said there was nothing I can do if i were to cancel one I 'd have to cancel both. isnt this illegal? they are showing incorrect info on my credit report. Please no more stupid answers: The point is the more credit someone has and atleast I have, and MINE situation.,the higher risk we are, and if their showing I have credit which i dont really have then how is that good! example: If I had ONE credit card with a 100 limit and the agency reported it as 2000 limit then if I were to try and get a loan they'd take that in cosideration that I have 2000 of RISK I could spend. understand??
