I would have to say we are all good jewelers, meaning David Whipple and Steve Brandt and Cathy Barnett. We are all friends. I would say check us all out and don't feel that just because you go into a store that you have to do business there unless it feels good to you. At Gem Quest, our biggest priority is to make sure that you are happy with what you get and if you don't like it we are not going to make you take it. Gem Quest is closed till Tuesday this week as we have been working 6 and 7 days per week since we reopened on Ojai Day. We took 4 days off for New Years. And thanks to all who have come in and helped make our new beginning a major success.
Hello Ojai peeps! Can anyone recommend a local place for watch battery replacement? It takes a jeweler's tool, and I don't believe we have any in Ojai anymore. Thanks!
