Twin Cities on-Site Jeweler Anyone?

My rings are falling off my fingers. Literally. (I'm shriiiiiinkingggggg!) Actually that's a good thing.

I'm not much of a jewelry kind of gal. Watches make me break out. Can't wear earrings. Etc. Etc. I'm destined by fate to jewel humility. The only two pieces of jewelry I wear is my wedding ring and my mother's ring. Both need to be resized before I lose them....which would make me very, very, (and did I mention very), upset.

Yet I'm loathe to part with either of them. Can't bear the thought of handing them over to a stranger. After all, being limited to these two pieces, I'd pratically be naked if I were without them.

So, I'm hoping someone in the cities knows of an old fashioned jeweler who actually does the work on his/her premises. I could handle dropping them off for a couple hours while they're resized, as long as I don't have to leave them overnight.

Does anyone else remember when Sears stores used to have the jeweler in the middle of the store? That's the kind of keepsake comfort I'm looking for. Does R.F. Moeller do on-site sizing? (Aren't his stores Patriot advertisers?)

Help anyone?

Update: A call to R.F. Moeller resolved my dilemma. Eric informed me they do on-site jewelry work at their St. Paul store. I'll be giving him a call when I'm in the cities. I feel better now. (Yes. I know you were all worried. Ahem.)

According to rfmoeller.com/services, "Except for some extremely specialized work, all of our repairs occur in-house..." Also, Continental Diamond (.com) in St. Louis Park is a full-service jeweler with an in-house repair shop. You should call first but I assume ring resizing is a relatively minor "repair" for either of these jewelers.

And - you could have just yelled across the desk for this info, I'm not more than 10 feet from you! I know I'm a guy and not into jewelry but I am somewhat responsible for both of your rings (pat on back) -Hubby

LOL - I wear very little in the way of jewelry - mostly only my wedding band. I never remember to wear anything else - I'll do earings for a few days and then forget, I have a couple of other rings, but... you get the picture.

Years ago, right after my daughter was born, I must've dropped quite a bit of weight and my hands shrank too. One day I gestured with my hand and my wedding ring flew across the room. I took it to be resized the next day. It has fit me ever since then. I think I had to leave it for a couple of days, but I barely remember any more. (it was 25 years ago *grin*) Good Luck with your resizing!

Arthur's also does repairs (and customizes jewelry) onsite. And, presumably, resizing as well, although we've never had to do that.

Hmmm, let me revise that: "...we haven't had to do that yet."
