I
really
can't
recommend
Minh
Chau
highly
enough.
This
wonderful
long-standing
family
business
is
exceptional
in
so
many
ways,
it's
hard
to
know
where
to
begin.
I'll
start
with
the
warm
environment,
which
makes
me
look
forward
to
visiting
the
amusing
and
intelligent
Thanh
(pronounced
'Tan'),
his
elegant
wife
Ann
and
delightful
daughter
Joanne,
and
the
others
at
the
store.
I
quickly
felt
a
real
personal
connection
with
Thanh
and
his
family,
and
by
now
consider
them
friends.
Next,
Minh
Chau
has
truly
exceptional
service,
whether
you
are
in
need
of
jewellery
repair
or
are
in
the
market
for
something
new
(their
selection
of
18K
and
24K
pieces
is
amazing---see
below).
I
first
visited
Minh
Chau
to
get
a
repair
done
on
a
24-carat
S-shaped
clasp.
A
different
jewellery
store
had
'fixed'
it
but
in
such
a
way
that
it
almost
immediately
broke
again.
Thanh
had
a
better,
very
clever
strategy
of
repair
and
did
it
on
the
spot.
I
then
brought
in
a
bunch
of
other
stuff
for
him
to
do,
all
of
which
he
did
beautifully.
I
wanted
to
wear
my
grandfather's
wedding
ring
on
a
chain---Thanh
helped
me
pick
out
the
most
exquisitely
beautiful
hand-wrought
18-karat
gold
chain
(see
pics;
it's
magical!)
and
he
made
a
very
beautiful
round
18K
link
with
square
edges
to
attach
the
ring...
it's
perfect,
much
nicer
than
what
I
had
imagined.
I
also
had
a
double
string
of
pearls
that
I
wanted
to
extend
with
some
other
pearls
I
had.
Thanh
suggested
just
restringing
it,
and
the
result
was
again
perfect.
Finally,
I
had
a
lovely
old
ring
setting
from
my
grandmother
that
I
wanted
to
put
a
star
sapphire
in.
Before
finding
Minh
Chau,
I
had
tried
to
have
this
done
at
several
other
jewellery
stores,
but
they
always
said,
'Oh,
it
can't
be
done'.
Thanh
said,
'Sure,
I
can
do
that'
and
the
result
is
lovely.
Minh
Chau
is
also
exceptionally
reasonable
in
price,
both
for
the
high
quality
work
done
and
for
the
beautiful
jewellery
they
have
in
their
store.
To
be
honest,
I
always
think
Thanh
doesn't
charge
enough,
but
I'm
not
complaining!
Again,
I
really
can't
recommend
Minh
Chau
highly
enough.
It
goes
without
saying
that
you
can
place
full
confidence
in
this
long-standing
family
business...
they
will
take
impeccable
care
of
you
and
your
jewellery.
Now,
on
to
our
next
project...
pearl
earrings...
I
have
an
idea,
Thanh...
see
you
soon!
