Jeweler Sam Boktor starting working in his father’s jewelry store in Egypt when he was barely able to see over the front counter. That may be why he’s not afraid to touch broken and bruised pieces that other jewelers deem “unfixable.”
Boktor’s 8-year-old repair shop — located in the center of downtown’s teeming jewelry district — is known for taking on problematic pieces and for its slick, made-to-order jewelry. The friendly proprietor, who moonlights at his new store, Galleria Jewelry and Watch Repair at the Glendale Galleria mall, made bracelets for singer Jason Mraz’s 2008 world tour and once crafted a custom wallet chain for Ricky Martin.
Prices range affordable, and Boktor often doesn’t charge for routine cleanings and “simple things.”

Thank God for Yelp and Galleria’s Jewelry & Watch Repairs! ?Today Stainless Steel Necklaces, one of the links on my necklace broke, causing my cross pendant to fall off. ?I was devastated and, immediately, knew I had to get that fixed. ?So, after a quick search on Yelp for a jewelry repair store in Glendale, I found Galleria’s Jewelry & Watch Repairs. ?I called and talked with Mike, whom assured me over the phone that he should be able to repair my jewelry.When I arrived to this store, Mike quickly approached me to offer assistance. ?I showed him the broken link and, as he previously stated on the phone, he stated he could repair the problem. ?Not only did Mike say he can repair it, but he took the time to explain why the link probably came apart, as well as telling me how he would solder the jewelry for repair. ?In less than 30 minutes, I was wearing my jewelry again and it looked brand new because Mike repaired and polished my jewelry.By no means am I materialistic, but I do value certain items of mine, particularly those of high value. ?Knowingly, Mike perceived that and conveyed his professional knowledge and concern to make me feel more at ease with my jewelry dilemma. ?In addition, I told him that I had a 15% off coupon from Yelp and Mike’s reply was, “don’t worry about that because I’ll give you 20% off”. ?Without a doubt fashion jewelry, Mike has gained a new and satisfied customer! ?Also, he designs jewelry too! ?With good service and reasonable pricing, I recommend Galleria’s Jewelry & Watch Repairs!
I’m not a fan of those typical mall jewelry stores where the second you walk inside they’re already asking if you’d like a receipt for your purchase. This place is not one of those.This is a really small shop that’s easy to overlook as it’s nestled behind the annoying Proactiv cart with the TV showing Justin Beiber’s face 24/7. This place is small but very nice and helpful. I came here to have my engagement ring resized half a size down. I came in here with my fiance and were greeted by a nice British man. He explained the process of ring resizing, made sure I was comfortable with what the new size would be, and gave us the price. He asked if the price was okay instead of instantly hacking away at the ring, which was nice.40 minutes later and I had a perfectly sized ring. This place is very efficient and attentive.On a side note, they don’t have a large selection of watches or rings wholesale jewelry, so I’m not sure if I’d recommend this place for shopping needs. However, if I ever need any jewelry or watch repaired or altered, I’m going here.
dont go here!! whoever gave 5 stars to this place must be a relatives or friends of this very rude & bipolar mike!! i went there w/my bf to re size my ring w/c by the way 100% overpriced & my bf decided to polish his ring ?& unfortunately they broke my bf’s stone & mike made it look that it was my bf fault’s that it broke when he’s got nothing to do while polishing it!! well anyway to make the long story short he said to come back then we did & when we got there he made a scene again & he said it s really busy when no one is there but us!! & he’s just in the internet doing who knows what? when you talk to this guy as if you are talking to a 2 different person same time…he’;s weird & he’s got the nerve to ask; so what’s the problem if he knows already that the problem is that he brokethe stone in the ring & it doesnt register on his brain!! duh! you broke it then that’s the problem & you must fix it to make the customer happy & he even says that he is giving us a favor? for what? such a strange man??& he called 1 day to say that the ring is still not fixed w’/c is not good since its been over a month, then today my bf went there & found out that the ring is fixed & he didnt even called & lastly he is charging ?my bf for the ring that he broke….what a nerve!! dont go here..you’ll waste your money & you’ll be unhappy, unsatistied customer. ?what professional? are they talking about…absolutely not!
Very professional. Very helpful. ?I’m very particular about things and wasvery happy with the results of switching my clip on earrings ?to pierced earrings.I tried Ben Bridge first and the work was very sloppy for the high price. Gallerie Jewelry repair was not only affordable but the work is donevery well. Highy recommended. ?Could not ask for a better experiance.
This is a small place that i like because they are professional about how they approach customers and the respect they deserve. They are also professionals in repairing watches, I had a watch defect on mty favorite watch I took it in and they fixed me right up, they even gave me a discounted price because I was a first time customer. They also have a nice selection of jewelery which is their main product and i would not be surprised if i end up buying jewelery from them. Overall not pricey just right amount, and they are nice people.
I originally went to Galleria to purchase a new chain for a necklace of mine that had been broken. ?I brought the original chain with me for reference, but when I went to jewelry store they had nothing compared to it. ?I couldn’t purchase just any chain, it had to be very thin so I could put the diamond back on. The sales lady referred me to Galleria’s Jewelry and Watch Repairs and handed me their 10% off flyer. ?I never considered getting the chain fixed, I didn’t think it could, since it broke midway on the chain. ?I took my silver chain to the repair shop and they soldered it back together. ?The guys working there were super friendly and efficient– ?It only took them 15 minutes to fix my necklace. ?And to make things even better, they repaired the lifting velvet in jewelry box I brought it in, I never asked them to do that, they did it for FREE! ?Talk about going above an beyond. ?The repair only cost $15. ?That’s way better considering I originally when to the Galleria to purchase a new chain that would have probably set me back $100. ?If you’re in the area I highly recommend this place, these guys are great!
