Zach resized, re-engraved and polished my husbands vintage wedding ring. You can tell he is a true craftsmen and really knows what he is doing. He was very accommodating and creative regarding a slightly unusual situation engraving request we had and the price was more than reasonable. Well definitely return for any future jewellery repairs and will be recommending him to everyone.

Performed an incredible service to my 1898 Waltham pocket watch, ensuring that it was fully functional, cleaned, and shined in a remarkably quick timeframe. Contacting Jewellery Watch Repairs was quick and efficient, so that after dropping off my watch to be inspected I quickly had a time frame for when it would be finished. This service was also provided at an excellent price point, and I highly recommend their watch repair service to anyone in need.

Zach at Jewellery Watch Repairs & Restoration has provided absolutely brilliant service, even during two of our recent lockdowns. In the course of two very happy transactions we've used secure deliveries to pass two vintage watches between us. Zach restored them both to full working order and sparkling condition - even making new parts to replace items no longer available. His communication and his attention to my detailed requirements was excellent and I'd entrust him with the care of any valuable or cherished item needing attention.

Fantastic communication, I needed a diamond replacing in my ring. I was a bit dubious about sending it off to be repaired, but it was a fantastic service. I would definitely recommend Zach his workmanship is fantastic. Would most certainly use his service again. Thank you
