Services
Jewelry Repair
We specialize in comprehensive jewelry repairs for rings, bracelets, necklaces, and earrings. Our master jewelers handle delicate tasks like prong retipping, stone tightening, and chain soldering with precision. Using advanced techniques, we restore damaged pieces to their original condition while maintaining structural integrity and aesthetic value.
Diamond Setting
Our diamond setting service ensures secure and elegant placement of diamonds and gemstones. Techniques include prong, bezel, and channel settings, tailored to each piece's design. Jewelers use specialized tools to enhance stone visibility while guaranteeing durability for everyday wear.
Pearl Restringing
Pearl and bead restringing services use silk thread or elastic to restore necklaces and bracelets. We inspect clasps and knots between pearls to prevent loss, ensuring proper tension and spacing. This service extends the lifespan of delicate beaded jewelry while maintaining its original appearance.
Rhodium Plating
Rhodium plating adds a protective, high-polish finish to white gold and silver jewelry. This electroplating process prevents tarnishing and enhances scratch resistance. We apply even coatings to maintain consistent luster across rings, bracelets, and other precious metal items.
Ring Sizing
Our ring sizing service adjusts bands for perfect fit using sizing beads, inside guards, or metal addition/removal. Jewelers maintain design continuity during resizing, preserving intricate engravings and structural details while ensuring comfort and durability.
