One Street: Sparkling Service

Just down the street -- Harris Avenue, my One Street -- from the eclectic barber shop I blipped on January 4 is this easy-to-spot jewelry store, my sixth One Street blip.

Jewelry Affair's motto is We repair what other jewelers won't, from simple repairs such as converting clip earrings to pierced earrings or restringing pearls to highly complex work. Rod and Beth Smithson, the owners, offer a level of personal, professional service that is not often seen today, offering custom design work in gold, silver, and platinum, as well as repairs. They also encourage customers to "go green" -- bring in old jewelry that isn't being worn, have it melted down, and then recast into a new design. I think that's a great idea!

Here's a street view of the sign and store -- and a Fairhaven dog and dog walker, providing a spot of color on a rainy winter afternoon.
