Engraving

Goodrich's does all in-store engraving of charms, jewelry, plaques, trophies, and gifts.



Goodrich's has both a hand engraving machine for small gifts as well as a computerized engraving machine for bigger jobs.

Jewelry Repair



    Goodrich's does many different repair services for jewelry. Walter does all ring sizing and other repairs right in the store. We repair all fine quality jewelry in the store. This includes, but is not limited to, ring sizing, repairing worn prongs, rebuilding worn ring shanks, gold and sterling chains, and resetting stones. We will work with all metals including platinum which is a much more expensive medium to work with. Platinum requires a great deal more to heat and weld and is a very hard metal requiring extensive filing and polishing. These qualities make it a very desirable metal for fine jewelry. We offer custom jewelry work and will create unique pieces of your design. We do stone setting of all styles.


The following is a brief price list of some of our common services

Ring Sizing

Ladies Rings: smaller $14.00 - larger $18.00 - plus $2.00 extra for additional sizing after the first size.

Men's Rings: smaller $14.00 - larger $19.00 - plus $2.00 extra for additional sizing after first size. (very heavy rings may be priced higher)

Chain Repair

Gold chains starting at $7.00 . (Hollow link chains may be more and cannot be guaranteed because they are very fragile. Goodrich's may be forced to reject some items.)

New Prongs

Regular prices start at $10.00 per prong

NOTE: Many times we recommend replacing the setting around a stone for a better repair with new metal usually at no extra cost. Also some stones have to be removed for repair and this extra labor adds to the repair cost.

Ring Shanks

Ladies: starting at $50.00

Men's: starting at $60.00



Watch Repair



    We will attempt, in the store, to repair all makes and models of watches. Most common parts are available for older mechanical wrist and pocket styles. Most mechanical watches if worn on a regular basis will need cleaning and oiling after five or more years, depending on the dust and water resistance of the case.

    Quartz battery watches do not need cleaning as often, however, in the inexpensive styles the cases are sometimes not sealed very tight. Many of the inexpensive watches are not designed for repair, however, often the movements can be replaced at a reasonable cost.

    We carry product lines such as: Seiko, Bel Air, and Citizen. We are an authorized dealer for those companies.

    The watch companies that we carry make hundreds of watch models, however, not all the models are imported into the U.S. Only the U.S. models have parts stocked for quick repair. Some stores buy these watches on the open market and bring them into the country and we cannot always get parts for these watches. (These stores are not authorized dealers.)

    We guarantee our watches for three (3) to five (5) years and can almost always repair them quickly in the store without having to send them away. We also supply free batteries for the life of the watches we sell.


A general price list for watch repair is as follows



Cleaning and Overhaul

Starting at $45.00

Bushing and Mainsprings

Starting at $65.00

House Visits

Prices vary based on time and travel.



Appraisals



    As a graduate gemologist, Walter does all written appraisals. Goodrich's offers written insurance appraisals on all jewelry. Goodrich's provides free appraisals on all jewelry that we sell. Prices start at a base price of $50.00 and vary thereafter according to labor time, and are not determined on the value of the jewelry.
