I’m tough on jewelry, tending to wear the same pieces day in, day out, equaling the«tear» part of «wear» and then some. A recent bracelet breakdown, the same one that failed me a year ago, brought me to Vlady Lukach for safety chain repair. Also needed a new watch battery. Dropped off in the AM, fixed and pristinely cleaned by the end of the day for a reasonable fee, I left knowing it’s best to shop local for quality, service, and price, and not to stray regardless of a pressured recommendation! Over the years Vlady has tended to my jewelry and even my heart rate monitor(battery replacement in watch portion) with competent care. Find him in the same digs as Shoe Lab .
