David definitely knows what he is doing and can quickly understand what you want because he listens ! He took two of my outdated diamond rings and transformed them into a new masterpiece . I was thrilled . His recommendation to go with a platinum setting was the right one . The construction is elegant and yet sturdy. He nailed it !!!! Thanks again David !!

I had a family heirloom gold jewellery piece that had broken (second time, bad first repair), owner David was not only able to repair it beautifully, but also did it while I waited...and for a very reasonable price. I highly recommend Jockheck Jewellers for any of your jewellery needs.
