JVP Jewelry and Jewelers

JVP Jewelry and Jewelers in Houston's Lazybrook/Timbergrove area handles watch battery replacements and bracelet sizing alongside its jewelry repair work.

JVP Jewelers is a jewelry shop on W 18th Street in Houston's Lazybrook/Timbergrove neighborhood, run by Jack Van Pelt since 1986. Watch-related work here covers the basics: battery replacement and bracelet sizing, done alongside the shop's broader repair business for fine and costume jewelry, resizing, and custom pieces.

This is primarily a jewelry store rather than a dedicated watchmaker's bench, so it suits straightforward watch needs like a dead battery or a bracelet that needs a link removed or added, rather than movement servicing or mechanical repair. The shop also sells diamonds, handles custom jewelry work, and offers in-house appraisals for insurance purposes.

Walk-ins are welcome, which is useful for a quick battery swap without scheduling ahead. The shop is open Tuesday through Friday from 10am to 5pm, with Monday and Thursday by appointment only, and closed Saturday and Sunday. No price list or turnaround times for watch battery or bracelet work are published, so it's worth calling ahead to confirm cost and whether a specific watch case or bracelet type can be handled.
