Today's Cargo

Todays cargo! What a cleverly named establishment. I was looking to get ring I was gifted cleaned and appraised. The ring is perhaps over 40 years of age and it was probably manufactured in South America. I contacted this business Monday morning and within the hour I was told to bring it in by Carla the manager. The service was free of
Charge and took only one minute. I was told that the center stone is aquamarine and that the shank is silver. Upon entering my pup and I were warmly greeted by Lisa, she even received a treat. The store itself was well lit and stocked with beautiful jewelry. Jewelry repair currently has a 25% discount ... check them out!

Made the trip to Alexandria from Arlington to repair a lobster clasp on a Brighton bracelet. They did it for free and it took under 15 minutes. I didn't have the right tool for the job at home. Highly recommended and accessible off of public transportation.

They were able to make jewelry repairs in about 10 days, in December, before Christmas. They fixed the catch of a pearl bracelet, untangled a gold chain, and filed down a ragged edge of a gold bangle. Good customer service and reasonable prices. They have an incredible selection of real jewelry

When my 9 yr old told me she was ready to get her ears pierced, I was so excited and apprehensive - excited that she felt ready to up her ear bling game, but apprehensive as I've heard horror stories about common places to get pierced at the mall. We couldn't do a tattoo parlor as she's really scared of needles so I started to explore other alternatives. I'm so incredibly happy we found Today's Cargo as an option. We scheduled an appointment and when we showed up, it was so easy. They had a wide selection of earrings so picking the right style and size wasn't a problem. The piercer then handed my kiddo two huge hello kitty ice blocks to ice her lobes. By the time she went to pierce her ears, my daughter felt nothing! It's been two months since the piercing and we've had no issues or infections. I highly recommend this place as the experience was wonderful, and their other jewelry pieces were beautiful as well!

I brought a yellow gold necklace and pendant in and asked about getting it reset in white gold & purchasing a white gold chain to go with it for my wedding. The woman who assisted me was incredibly kind, informative and was really honest with me and discussed getting the necklace and chain coated to make it the color of white gold. She could have easily skipped over that option and I would have been none the wiser. Instead of paying a few hundred dollars to get the pendant reset and to buy a white gold chain, the coating only cost $80. They completed the work well ahead of the promised date and it looks great! They cleaned it really well and brought the luster back to the stones and you would never be able to tell there is a coating on this necklace. I couldn't be happier with their service, their honesty nor the quality of their work. They have absolutely earned my loyalty!

Almost two years ago, I read the fabulous reviews and decided to give this place a shot. What a great decision! Carla and her team are caring, competent jewelers. I've entrusted Carla with some major purchases, and she does not disappoint. More than that, she gives it her all. Just this week, Carla got a gasp out of my Bride when she showed her some earrings the I requested. I could not be happier with this small business, and I commend them to you. Happy shopping, Rob

Outstanding service with great selections and reasonable prices, particularly in comparison to other, much more costly Old Town Alexandria jewelers. Carla has been patient, creative and supportive in designing jewelry that fits my style, and resetting inherited diamonds into a beautiful new necklace and ring. Bravo! Two thumbs, way up!! All the staff are delightful and helpful.

So pleased with the customer service and overall experience at Today's Cargo.
We had my daughter's ears pierced today, she picked cute little pearl studs and Lisa made the whole process a wonderful experience. My daughter was beyond happy and couldn't believe it didn't hurt at all. Thank you very much, as a mom I appreciated such an intervention happened without tears or bad mood after.
Will recommend this service to all my mom friends.

Late leaving a review, but Carla and the folks at Today's Cargo were great for me. I needed an engagement ring special ordered with a quick turn around and they made it happen. Very helpful throughout the process and loved the finished product. My fiancé also came here to get my ring after and was happy with his service too, we can't recommend TC enough!

Helped me get my Citizen watch repaired. Excellent communications regarding process as Watch was sent back to "factory" for the work. They gave options for cost of the work so I had a choice on how much to commit to the repair work.
