5 /5 Shelley Eyerly: I inherited a necklace and ring from my mother and went to Persaud’s to resize and repair an old ring, fix the clap of the necklace and clean three rings and the necklace. Mr. Persaud was very honest and told me my old ring shouldn’t be resized to the finger I requested because that ring would overpower the inherited ring, which I intend to wear daily. He suggested holding off and consider using the stones to create a new piece that would not take away from my mom’s ring. He made some suggestions for the necklace that I wasn’t ready to jump into yet. He took a great deal of time with me (even though I walked in as he was closing) and didn’t try to get me to spend money I wasn’t ready to spend. In fact, talked me out of spending on the resize and repair for now, as he felt it wouldn’t have been wise. He cleaned all the pieces for me for a very reasonable price and is looking into some clasps for me to make my necklace easier to work. I was very impressed that he stayed late and seemed to want to do the right thing by me. It built trust and when I need a local jeweler, I will return to him.
