Step 1 - Assessment & Sorting
We carefully examine and categorize your jewelry by type and material (10k, 14k, 18k, 22k, 24k gold, silver, platinum) in front of you. Designer or signed pieces receive special attention, as they often require specialized repair techniques beyond standard restoration.
Step 2 - Damage Evaluation
Using advanced diagnostic tools, we assess the extent of damage and identify the best repair approach for each piece. Antique and estate jewelry receives extra care to preserve original craftsmanship and historical integrity that others might overlook.

Hughie’s jewelry & coins has such a tremendous collection! The pieces are just absolutely stunning, the staff is so nice, extremely friendly, and patient (I was asking a lot of questions and trying on SO MANY pieces- thank you!!), and the store looks great! Hughie is incredibly knowledgeable and can tell you about the history and where items originated from. It’s fantastic! I highly recommend stopping by and purchasing!

I got my engagement ring from Hugh himself and it was the best experience I have ever had buying jewelry for my significant other. Hugh is very knowledgeable and patient (bonus he understood my budget). I went to three other jewelers and Hugh gave me the best deal on cut and size of the diamond, but more importantly, the thought and care into the ring for someone he never met. A true family atmosphere, thanks Hugh!
