Custom Engagement Rings
Our custom engagement rings combine artistic vision with technical precision. Using 3D CAD modeling and wax prototyping, we transform client concepts into unique heirlooms. Each piece undergoes rigorous quality control, featuring ethically sourced diamonds and recycled precious metals. With over 50 years of experience, our artisans ensure perfect balance between aesthetic beauty and everyday wearability.
Jewelry Restoration
Specializing in period jewelry restoration, we revive damaged heirlooms using non-invasive techniques. Our micro-welding technology preserves original patinas while strengthening structural integrity. From Victorian brooches to Art Deco rings, we maintain historical authenticity while ensuring modern durability through meticulous craftsmanship passed down through three generations.
Gemstone Appraisal
Our USPAP-compliant appraisals provide accurate valuations for insurance and estate purposes. Certified gemologists analyze stone quality, metal purity, and craftsmanship using advanced diagnostic tools. Each appraisal includes detailed descriptions and high-resolution imaging, with same-day service available for most items. Documentation meets all major insurance carrier requirements.
Laser Welding Repair
Our state-of-the-art laser welding technology enables precise jewelry repairs without heat damage. This method preserves gemstone integrity and metal structure, ideal for delicate antique pieces and modern designs alike. Common applications include ring sizing, prong rebuilding, and eyeglass frame restoration, often completed while-you-wait.
Lab-Grown Diamonds
We offer lab-created diamonds with identical optical properties to mined stones. These sustainable alternatives undergo the same quality control processes as natural diamonds, including cut grading and clarity analysis. Our experts guide clients through selecting certified lab-grown stones that balance budget considerations with environmental responsibility.
