Lane Wells Jewelry Repair

Lane Wells Jewelry Repair is a general jewelry shop in the Highland area of Austin that also handles basic watch work. The shop has an onsite watchmaker and offers battery replacement and bracelet sizing, with the stated turnaround being "usually while you wait" rather than a multi-day drop-off.

Beyond watches, the bench jewelers here do ring sizing, laser welding, chain repair, stone replacement, cleaning and polishing, rhodium plating, engraving, appraisals and pearl restringing, so it's the kind of shop set up for everyday repair work on jewelry and watches alike rather than specialized mechanical movement servicing. Case and bracelet polishing is also offered, which pairs naturally with a battery change if a watch needs a quick refresh.

There's no mention of brand authorizations, movement overhauls, or water-resistance testing in what's provided, so if your watch needs a full service, a gasket replacement, or anything more involved than a battery and sizing, it's worth calling ahead to ask whether they handle it or will refer it out.

The shop is located at 7801 N Lamar Blvd # A140 and is open Monday through Friday, with a midday break built into the schedule (roughly 8:30 to 11:25 and 12:15 to 5:00). It's closed weekends. For pricing specifics, the shop points customers to a dedicated pricing page rather than listing watch battery costs on the main site.
