Jeweler with a watchmaker

Valencia Jewelry MFG

Family-run Santa Ana jeweler with an in-house watchmaker handling Seiko and Grand Seiko service and overhaul.

Valencia Jewelry MFG is a jeweler in downtown Santa Ana that keeps a watchmaker on staff, so watch work is handled alongside its jewelry and gold business rather than farmed out. The shop's repair listing points to Seiko and Grand Seiko as the brands it services, with full service and overhaul work among the jobs it takes on.

The business has operated at the same downtown Santa Ana address since 1976, run by the same family across three generations of customers. That long run suggests a steady local clientele for both jewelry repair and watch work, though the website doesn't break out specific pricing or turnaround times for watch service.

Alongside watch repair, the shop lists custom jewelry design, general jewelry repair, and gold buying as core services, and it carries Bulova and Citizen among the brands shown on its site in addition to Seiko. Anyone with a Seiko or Grand Seiko in need of a battery, a tune-up, or a full overhaul can bring it in during posted hours; for anything outside that brand range, or for firm pricing and lead times, it's worth calling ahead.

The store is closed Wednesdays and Thursdays but open the rest of the week, including Sunday, which is useful for anyone trying to fit a repair drop-off around a weekday job.
