Southeastern Jewelers

5299 Valleydale Rd #111, Birmingham, Alabama, United States | Precious Metals

Southeastern Jewelers, a family owned and operated business has been serving Birmingham since 1952. Owner and life-long Birmingham resident, Louis G. Steed began his career as a bench jeweler performing repair work for jewelry stores throughout the Southeast. Therefore, when he decided to open his own store in 1952, Southeastern Jewelers seemed the perfect name. Louis and his wife Peggy have two sons, Mike and David Steed. As young men, both sons served and worked as apprentices and upon finishing school both started full-time at the store.

Southeastern Jewelers has both a beautiful retail showroom as well as a full service shop allowing them to do all custom work and repairs on site. Southeastern Jewelers has six full time bench jewelers on staff with over 150 years combined experience.

Southeastern Jewelers has a wonderful reputation not only within the city of Birmingham but also throughout the southeast. We are proud to run our business based on the basic, old fashioned idea to treat others the way we would want to be treated. We have been privileged to serve over 25,000 return customers and three generations of families. We are sure you won't have to ask around too much to find friends of yours that have been long time customers of Southeastern Jewelers. We look forward to meeting you and can't wait to be a part of a special time in your life.

Services

Appraisals

Southeastern Jewelers offers an in store appraisal service. There is no minimum or maximum limit on the amount of items. However, we do ask that you leave the items with us at the store for the items to be appraised due to the fact that it is a time consuming job. The cost of appraisals starts at a minimum of $50.00 and increases in price depending on the amount of items due to the fact that the price is completely based on how much time it takes for each piece to be appraised. All appraisals include (2) copies one for your records and one to provide to your insurance company. There is no charge for an appraisal on any item purchased from Southeastern Jewelers.

Jewelry Repair

Southeastern Jewelers offers on-site jewelry repair on gold, platinum, silver, and some costume jewelry. All repairs take no longer than a week in most cases. However, if special parts are required the repair could take longer.

Watch Repair

Southeastern Jewelers offers watch repair and restoration. We do not have a watchmaker on-site. Watches are the only thing we do not handle in the store. We will send your watch to our watchmaker who will assess the problem and needed repairs. We will then call you with the estimated cost of the repair and you will have the opportunity to proceed with the repair of have the watch sent back. There is a $20 service charge for watch repair estimates simply to cover the cost of postage. However, should you choose to proceed with the repair the $20 charge will be waived. All watch repairs take a minimum of 3 weeks but we will call you as soon as we receive your watch.

Southeastern Jewelers can create one of a kind piece jewelry based on a design you bring to us. Also, Mike Steed, Co-Owner and Jeweler is always happy to sit down with you and create a brand new piece of jewelry or update or restore an item you may already have.
