Chris Francisco Jeweler

Chris Francisco is an expert jeweler who has ethically provided nearly every kind of jewelry service for our multigeneration family for more than 2 decades: platinum and gold diamond ring repairs, diamond matching and setting, 100+ years old vintage watch restoration, custom wrist watch crystal replacement, gold and silver engraving, estate jewelry appraisals as well as general jewelry consultations and watch battery replacement. Chris is the jewelry professional every community would love to have as a resource for top quality work and friendly service.

Super nice, honest, & affordable jeweler. I primarily use him for repairing jewelry and watches.

I went back to Mercer Island to pick up some of my stuff and I found this awesome watch I haven’t worn in a few years. Unfortunately the battery had died by this point. There isn’t much on Mercer Island in terms of jewelers except for Chris Francisco here! So off I went.
I actually met Chris and he was super friendly and nice. He told me he has had his shop for 23 years. That’s nearly as long as I’ve been alive! He fixed up my battery in like 3 minutes and charged me $ 8 for it. I would have asked him to replace the crystal but it was $ 45 and (more importantly) would take a week (which I don’t have).

This guy is the real deal! I have posted a couple of times to Unilocal and they have filtered or removed my posts. I don’t know why. I am giving it another try. Chris Francisco is a real «gem» of a guy, which seems fitting for a jeweler. He is helpful, friendly, and very, very fair in his dealings. He is a master at jewelery repair. I have been going there for years. Now my married and engaged children are going to him. What a guy! If you need jewelery service of any kind you should go see Chris.

First time Unilocal reviewer but I feel that Chris truly deserves a five star ranking. Don’t let the location on Mercer Island fool you, he is incredibly down to earth and scoffs at the prices other jewelers are charging. He has been in the same location for twenty-​five years and seems to be working just for fun now. Chris does all the work himself and, if it’s something that can be done quickly, it’s worth hanging around as he is incredibly friendly and has a great sense of humor.

I ran in here on a whim to change my watch battery. I’ve had the same Tag watch for 15 years and had the battery changed a few times at different places — they all required me to leave it for hours if not days, and charged at least $ 30. The gentleman who owns this place did it on the spot, in front of me, and charged half that price and was a total sweetheart! I’ve never written a Unilocal review, but this time for such incredible service, am compelled to rave! I won’t ever go anywhere else.

I will definitely go here when I need jeweler services. I stoppped in the other day to see if I could give him a couple of dollars for my daughters «crystal.» He gave her extra money and was so sweet and kind to the kids! What a really nice and genuine guy. I am lucky Mercer Island has such a terrific man as a jeweler her.

Finding a good jeweler is like finding a good auto mechanic — it’s difficult because most guys out there are dishonest, impatient, and charge your for everything, so, when you find a good one, you hang on for dear life!
Chris is fantastic — he’s exactly the kind of guy you want as a jeweler. He’s extremely personable, honest, reasonable, and goes the extra mile for his clients. If you walk in and ask him to fix something for you that takes just a few minutes to do, he’ll take care of it without nickel and diming you. If you need to order something special, he’ll know exactly where to get the best quality product and will give it to you for a fair price. He has very little overhead and concentrates on service. Don’t go into his shop expecting to see cases with hundreds of pieces — do go in expecting to get an expert’s full attention and will working hard for you.
