Jeweler with a watchmaker

JR's Jewelry & Gifts

Omaha jeweler on S 72nd St handles watch battery replacement and bracelet sizing in-house, with a watchmaker on staff.

JR's Jewelry & Gifts is a family-owned jewelry shop in South Central Omaha that has been doing repair work since 1991. Watch work sits alongside its broader jewelry services, with batteries replaced and bands shortened or sized on site.

The shop keeps an on-site watchmaker, so watch jobs don't have to be sent out to a third party. Beyond batteries and bracelet sizing, the business lists general jewelry repair, ring sizing, diamond setting, pearl restringing, engraving, and eyeglass repair under the same roof, which is typical for a jeweler that also services watches rather than a dedicated watchmaking bench.

It's located at 721 S 72nd St, Suite 110, open weekdays 9am to 5pm and Saturdays 9am to 2pm, closed Sunday. For anything beyond a battery swap or band adjustment, such as movement service or vintage repair, it's worth calling ahead or emailing to confirm the watchmaker can take on the specific brand or complication.
