Godfrey's North Raleigh Jewelers Inc.

Godfrey's North Raleigh Jewelers has operated on Six Forks Road since 1966, a year after Bob Godfrey Sr. opened the store; today it's run by his son Todd alongside Todd's wife Melissa, his mother Nora, and his cousin David, keeping the business in family hands across a second generation. The shop centers its work on jewelry design and repair, appraisals, and pearl restringing. On the watch side, Godfrey's describes relationships with watchmakers that let it offer service and warranties across most timepiece types, from simple battery installation and crystal replacement to an exclusive selection of exotic straps. Its jewelry repair work ranges just as widely — chain repair, ring sizing, stone setting, hand and machine engraving, and full restoration of pieces — while its dedicated pearl restringer, with more than thirty years in the craft, handles knotted silk restringing, cleaning, and matching for pearl jewelry. Godfrey's also provides jewelry appraisals for insurance and estate purposes, including documentation and photography of items. For Raleigh customers, it's positioned as a one-stop jeweler for both custom design work and the more everyday task of keeping an existing watch or piece of jewelry running and looking its best, backed by nearly sixty years at the same North Raleigh address.
