Jeweler with a watchmaker

Silver Sun - Baton Rouge Jewelry Store

Baton Rouge jewelry store in Bocage Village with an on-site watchmaker handling full watch service, overhauls and bracelet sizing alongside its jewelry repair

Silver Sun is a jewelry store on Jefferson Highway in Baton Rouge's Mid City South area, set in Bocage Village next to Dearman's Restaurant. Alongside its sterling silver, gold and platinum jewelry work, the shop keeps a watchmaker on site who handles full watch service and overhaul work as well as bracelet sizing, so a watch needing a complete teardown-and-rebuild or a simple link adjustment can be handled in the same visit as other jewelry needs.

The broader shop does ring sizing, stone replacement, prong re-tipping, clasp replacement, rhodium plating and pearl restringing, which gives a sense of the kind of hands-on repair work done in-house rather than shipped elsewhere. No specific watch brands, service prices or turnaround times are listed, so anyone with a particular brand or a time-sensitive repair should call ahead to confirm the watchmaker can take it on and get an estimate.

The store is open Tuesday through Friday from 10am to 6pm, Monday 10am to 4pm, and Saturday 10am to 2pm; it's closed Sundays. Reaching the shop by phone at (225) 215-2345 before a visit is a reasonable way to check current wait times for watch work, since overhauls and full services typically take longer than a quick repair.
