FAQ

Q - Do you appraise?
A - We do evaluations for insurance purposes only on the items purchased at Blocher's.  We recommend having your fine jewelry pieces checked and cleaned at least once a year, as well as having your values updated to stay current with market prices.  It is always best to get an appraisal from the place of purchase, if possible, because the seller has the greatest knowledge of the piece you are appraising.

Q - Do you do jewelry repair?
A - We do jewelry repair and we change watch batteries. However, the majority of jewelry repair is not done in house, but we do have a local benchman, who does fabulous work, both repair and custom. We do change watch batteries in house, if possible.

Q - Do you do engraving?
A - Yes we have an engraver who does marvelous work, both machine and by hand. Engraving is not done in house.  Machine generally takes 5 days or less, while hand engraving take 2 - 3 weeks. Some of our products, however, can be ordered from the manufacturer already engraved.

Q - Do you have sales (clearance)?
A - We don't run regular weekly sales like the department stores. Blocher's doesn't play the pricing game, however, we do have a number of what we would like to call "Old Friends" which are pieces of jewelry and giftware that need new homes. Once in a while we have sales on particular items for a particular holiday or season, including Sidewalk sales and we have our annual Holiday Open House, where we offer a percentage discount.

Q - Do you offer insurance?
A - We do stand behind our products, but we encourage you to insure those pieces that are important to you or carry a larger price tag. We love the insurance product that Jeweler's Mutual offers and we will be happy to help you fill out the forms. Their pricing is very competitive and they handle claims like a breeze.
