Chris Lewis Jewellers

Chris Lewis Jewellers has operated from Gladesville Shopping Village since 1990, built around master craftsman Chris Lewis, who works out the back of the store making and repairing jewellery, with Emil handling much of the front-of-house work and customer relationships. Repair work shows up repeatedly in customer accounts: one reviewer had a new watch battery fitted but couldn't get the case back on, and Emil refitted it using the correct pressure tool. Others describe a snapped gold bracelet clasp bent back into shape, and a knotted necklace patiently untangled over fifteen minutes — both done, in each case, without charge because the jobs were quick. The store's own description confirms this isn't incidental: alongside bespoke jewellery, it explicitly offers "remodelling and repair work" as a qualified craftsman's service. Custom jewellery is the other major strand of the business, with detailed accounts of engagement rings and wedding bands designed from scratch, including one customer's description of a custom emerald engagement ring built to a tight budget from his own setting design. The store also carries Traser watches alongside its own handcrafted jewellery collection. For Gladesville locals, Chris Lewis Jewellers functions as the kind of small-business jeweller people return to across major life events — engagements, weddings — while also trusting with the smaller, everyday jobs like a watch battery or a broken clasp, valued for craftsmanship on one end and generosity on quick fixes at the other.
