Loves Antiques Review

I am someone who loves antiques and beautiful things - in fact I own a shop by that name - and so when I found Gabe (or did Gabe find me?) - it was a perfect match. He finds beauty in the oddest places, as do I, so I fell immediately in love with his artistry. Though I have bought watches and pins and cuff links and money clips, my favorite thing he does is to make beautiful bracelets from old silverware. The patterns are varied - from art deco to Victorian - from ornate to plain - but the end result is always a wonderful piece of wearable art. I love his work - I love his spirit - and I love his jewelry. I definitely recommend him highly - check him out.

Opus Jewelers Review

It is crucial that you find a jeweler you can trust and I count myself lucky that I found Peter Chen of Opus Jewelers. I have not only bought a number of items from Opus Jewelers but I also have them do all of my resizing and repairs as well. Years ago, when I didn't know about Opus Jewelers, I took an antique ring that had been passed down through my family to another jeweler to have it cleaned up and re-sized. Years later, after that jeweler closed and I found Opus Jewelers, I took the same ring in to Peter because one of the claws was coming loose and I was scared of losing the ruby. I came to find out from Peter that the other jeweler had actually taken the original ruby out of the ring and replaced it with a fake one!! Once I got over my devastation, I made a pact with myself that I would never trust another jeweler other than Peter Chen. They do excellent work and can even take antique jewelery and turn it into something more modern. Their prices are very competitive and the quality of their jewelery is outstanding. Opus Jewelers is the best!
