Great Jewelry repairs

by maureenw

These guys always do excellent work and if it is not perfect they will work on it until it is! I have always taken my jewelry there to be repaired. It took one visit to a highly reputable jewelry store in Houston to resize a ring for me and it was extremely expensive to repair and they did a terrible job, telling me they could not resize the ring but would simply put balls in it to suffice. The balls hurt my finger and they removed them but did not offer a refund. I took it to Galaxie and it was absolutely perfect after one visit! They resized it with no problem at all. I developed arthritis recently in my ring finger and had to have a lot of rings made larger. They did a great job and the cost was very reasonable. I would never go anywhere else for repairs. I have also heard that they do great design work although I have never done this. This is a very friendly, professional place to go. I highly recommend it!

They are as good as the reviewers said!

by spaceocean

My wife's engagement ring needed some repairs and some re-design work done because she has developed some callus. I have done a lot of research and found Galaxie Jewelers was one of the very few jewelers around town that received unanimous positive feedbacks. So we paid them a visit. They are very knowledgeable, and the price they quoted us was reasonable. We had our ring fixed and redesigned there, and the craftmanship was amazing, not to mention that they did everything in the timely fashion (especially during the hectic Christmas season)! Check them out yoursevles and you would agree that they are as good as the reviewers said.

No one else does it better

by Jillga

My husband surprised me with a unique engagement ring and although he did a fabulous job he was never satisfied with it. He went to another jeweler to have it made. We should have gone to Galaxie from the beginning!

After a year of being married, my husband and I went to Galaxie to have the engagement ring redone.

We kept all the same elements of the ring but Kip and his team made it better. Not only did he make the design practical but also made it so much better than I thought possible. We are so much happier with the ring that they made for us and will recommend anyone else to just go to Galaxie and Kip first because they will get it done right....the first time!

Don't take a chance with anyone else. We did and paid dearly for it, but we corrected our mistake and went to Galaxie to make it right. Kip knows what he is doing and marries your ideas with the metal to make a truly fabulous work of art....that you can wear!

Trust them absolutely

by 5thgenerationhere

I have always been suspicious of smaller jewelers outside of major shopping areas and that was too bad because I found Galaxie later than I should have: After losing a precious ring that merely needed to be resized. I come from a generation taught to sensitively admire others jewelry, but not to ask questions. I was afraid of theft, and poor work, and staggering gold prices. I had some bad experiences with other repair people enthusiastically volunteered by friends who dressed well, but who, I later realized, had no fine jewelry. I was reluctant to ask others who obviously had jewelry because I felt it might seem as If I was prying. I really stumbled into Galaxie after having seen a really splendid piece they deigned for a friend who inherited a large antique diamond. Well, I am relieved to report that in the case of Galaxie, you can absolutely trust them. They do beautiful work and especially nice repairs. They tell you up front that they don't touch what they can't repair which is also important. They have excellent tools. Their pricing is very fair. I have used them for all sorts of repairs and restoration, even watch repair. I wish I'd found them earlier. Kip's very talented designer, but I found the other people who work there to be as caring and careful. All of them listen to your concerns if they are given an opportunity to know you. I feel at home there. Hats off to all of them!

Ask for Kip

by mitchmo

I walked into Galaxie a couple months ago out of the blue to design an engagement ring. Kip, the owner, guided my then girlfriend and I through the process every step of the way. We always felt assured there, Kip's no non-sense approach to ring design is the only way to do it. He is very knowledgeable, patient and will not push you in a direction you do not want to go. We were blown away by the ring he built for us, and plan on going back soon for wedding bands.
