About Slates Jewelers

At our jewelry repair shop, we are dedicated to providing the community with a safe and trustworthy environment for all their jewelry needs. Whether it’s a cherished heirloom, a sentimental piece, or valuable jewelry, we understand the importance of these items and treat them with the utmost care.

Our master jeweler, Philip, brings over 35 years of experience to the table. He began his journey at Bashinskis in Macon, GA, where he apprenticed under his older brother, who was a skilled jeweler for over 40 years. Philip honed his craft and worked his way up to become a proficient bench jeweler. His early days involved repairing jewelry using traditional methods with a torch and solder, but as technology advanced, so did his skills.

Today, we utilize state-of-the-art equipment, including a laser welder, which allows us to perform repairs with precision and strength. This advanced technology creates a bond that is as strong, if not stronger, than the original manufacturer’s work. We take pride in our commitment to quality repairs, ensuring that every piece we handle is restored to its former glory.

Many jewelers may not have access to a laser welder, but we believe that investing in the best tools and techniques is essential to providing our customers with exceptional service. When you bring your jewelry to us, you can trust that it is in the hands of a skilled professional who values your pieces as much as you do.

As a full-service jewelry repair storefront, where we pride ourselves on providing a comprehensive range of services to meet all your jewelry needs. One of the key advantages of choosing us for your repairs is that everything is done in-house. We never send your precious items out for repair, ensuring that they remain safe and secure throughout the entire process.

We understand that your time is valuable, which is why we offer same-day service for many repairs. Whether you need ring sizing, chain repair, stone setting, custom design, remounts, insurance appraisals, or pearl restringing, our skilled team is here to help.

If you're in the market for a diamond, look no further! We offer a unique opportunity for our clients to hand-pick their diamonds before they are set into a finding.

We can memoize loose diamonds for you to examine, ensuring you find the perfect stone that meets your preferences. In addition to our repair services, we are proud to have the most powerful laser engraver available. This allows us to offer high-quality laser engraving on a wide variety of items, making it easy to personalize your jewelry or create a special gift. We also provide permanent jewelry options and ear piercing services, making us your one-stop shop for all things jewelry. Our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction means you can trust us with your most valued pieces.
