With over 45 years of experience, we combine traditional techniques with modern technology to ensure perfect execution of every detail, from initial concept to final polish.
Jewelry Repairs
We offer comprehensive jewelry repair services including prong replacement, ring resizing, and clasp repairs. Our expert technicians use specialized tools to fix damaged pieces while maintaining their original integrity. Regular maintenance services like cleaning and inspection help preserve your jewelry's beauty and prevent future damage through bi-annual check-ups performed by our skilled staff.
Heirloom Restoration
Specializing in restoring vintage and estate jewelry, our master goldsmiths carefully repair and preserve period-specific details. We handle delicate antique pieces with expertise in historical craftsmanship techniques while ensuring structural integrity. Services include gemstone polishing, prong rebuilding, and metal restoration to return cherished family heirlooms to their original condition without compromising historical authenticity.
Gemstone Replacement
Our gemstone replacement service matches and replaces lost or damaged stones with precision. We source high-quality diamonds and colored gemstones to match existing settings, or help clients upgrade to higher-grade stones. The process includes careful remounting into new or existing settings while ensuring proper security and aesthetic alignment with the original jewelry design.
Rhodium Plating
We provide rhodium plating services to restore the bright white finish of gold and silver jewelry. This protective coating enhances scratch resistance and hypoallergenic properties, particularly for rings and bracelets subject to daily wear. Our technicians apply professional-grade rhodium plating to both store-purchased and outside jewelry, returning pieces to their original lustrous condition with long-lasting results.
