    To Tell the Truth: TIGGES is The best jeweler in town. Honest, quick, smart and great to work with. They have - can get - beautiful diamonds - and you can design your own ring. I've had pearls/ watches, rings and things fixed. Always impressed. Vince and Barb are very kind, talented and well-loved owners. EZ parking on Geary. Seek out" new" address...Just a few steps away from the old store. A San Francisco Classic.

    I brought in a beloved necklace with a broken chain. Vince was kind, straight forward and knowledgeable. He let me know the chain was stretched out and not repairable. He also pointed out that the slider bar on the pendant was very worn/broken. Neither of these things were mentioned by a different jeweler who had repaired the chain several months before, which explains why it broke again so quickly/easily. Vince recommended a new, slightly thicker chain and fixed the pendant. Good as new! I only wish I had brought it to Tigges the first time it broke.

    I had a wonderful experience here and I was in and out within minutes! Both the husband and wife are really kind and hard working people. Extremely knowledgeable of their craft and very helpful with anything you need. Their prices are very fair and I would highly recommend coming in to get anything done!

    A San Francisco Classic. Really: The best! It was my lucky day when I met Vince and Barb and had multiple pieces of jewelry fixed. Perfection. They are both so cordial and professional and efficient... love them! When the prongs on a diamond ring were worn... they were fixed, Fav Pearls needed to be restrung :fixed. Watch batteries dead - fixed. I have picked up a number of beautiful pieces of jewelry they have in their impressive display cases. Fabulous price /great quality. Note: They have moved down a couple of doors. I have friends from Marin County and San Jose go specifically to Tigges...with full trust and respect. Class Act.

    What an amazing place. The owner is beyond kind and honest. I had a ring that I had worn for 40 years and needed to get cut off. She was more concerned about my pain than making money from it. Uhh... does this ever happen? Like ever? I was looking at her beautiful jewels, and they are so reasonably priced. I recently inherited my mother's wedding ring, but the diamond had fallen off. I cannot wait to go to Tigges and have them replace it. What a breath of fresh air in a City that has lost its spirit. I love this place.....This is a walk down memory lane of what San Francisco was once...... I hope we will all patron this beautiful and special brick and mortar store that exemplifies the beauty of what our City once was.

    A rare jewel…we love Tigges for many reasons: Great Service! Old School Quality. Best place for great new watch or a battery. Brought three necklaces and a watch in today. Superior work - great price point- Vince and Barbara are outstanding, honest, and fast. They are true San Francisco treats.

    Ever since I discovered the dynamic duo of Barb and Vince of Tigges I have not gone to another jeweler in the city. Now I am anxiously wondering if they are still open…I’ve been by twice around 3p on Friday and no sign of being open and their voice message is full. No mention of being in holiday… though I certainly hope that is the case. Does anyone know?

    Good people. Real people. Family owned. Honest, straightforward, reliable and trustworthy combined with excellent workmanship with reasonable prices. I have bought some consignment, estate pieces and had some repairs done to some of my personal jewelry. An old friend referred me to them decades ago for repairs I needed done including replacement of some stones and I have been thankful. Vince did an amazing job. Highly recommend!

    I have a vintage Ernest Borel wristwatch I bought myself as a reward for finishing grad school years ago. But it never worked right—the seconds hand would just stop, for no discernible reason, at random intervals. Sometimes it would run for nearly a full day, other times it would stop after just ten minutes or so. When I lived in Florida, I took it to several places trying to get it fixed; none of them got it right, so I just put it in a drawer and forgot about it for years. Then last year I heard about Tigges from a friend of mine who got a watch crystal replaced there. I figured I would give them a shot; if a shop with their reputation couldn't fix the watch, then maybe it just couldn't be fixed. Their first idea, that the seconds hand was bent at the tip and was getting caught on the minutes hand, didn't pan out, but after a couple of follow-up visits (at no extra charge, of course), they actually got it running. It's been going strong for a full month now, with no problems. If you've got a vintage timepiece that's giving you trouble, I cannot recommend Tigges highly enough. They do great work, they stand behind everything they fix, and they're pleasant people to deal with. Sure, their hours could be more accommodating, but it's a family-run shop, and you can't argue with their results. Enthusiastically recommended.

    Had a simple issue (small plastic fiber wrapped around hands of my watch). They opened the watch, removed the obstruction, and had me on my way in less than 10 minutes. Service was friendly and fairly priced.

    Great experience! Needed a new battery. In and out in 3 minutes, including a new seal! Thank you!

    The 5 star ratings and stellar reviews of Tigges Jewelers is spot on! I walked in needing a locking clasp repaired on one watch and a battery change for another. To my surprise Vince was able to do both watches for me as I waited which took about 15 - 20 minutes. He gave me some great advice on why my locking clasp had broken and how to prevent it in the future. And he changed the battery on the other watch for a very reasonable $20 dollars....and did not charge me for the clasp repair!! He and the woman that greeted me were just so very helpful, nice, kind and very social. Yes, truly a Richmond District gem.....and this was my first time in the shop even though I live just down the street and have been living in the neighborhood for the past 16 years. I would highly recommend Tigges Jewelers!!!

    I went to Tigges for the first time today. I couldn't be more pleased. The attendant was pleasant, funny, helpful, informative. The jeweler was on the mark across the board, and went out of his way to co-create a restyled heirloom piece of jewelry that would work best for me - all while keeping mindful of pricing. I can't recommend them enough. This is the type of jeweler I've been looking for for YEARS. Thank you Tigges.
