Services
Custom Jewelry Design
Our CAD design process transforms your vision into reality through 3D digital modeling. Clients review iterative proofs before production begins, ensuring perfect realization of personal designs. Using platinum, gold, or silver, we craft rings, pendants, and bracelets that reflect individual stories while maintaining heirloom quality standards.
Insurance Appraisals
GIA-certified appraisals document jewelry specifications for insurance, estate planning, or resale purposes. Each evaluation includes detailed descriptions, gemstone analysis, and current market valuations. We recommend updating appraisals every three years to maintain proper insurance coverage for your valuable possessions.
Jewelry Repair
From minor prong reinforcement to complete structural repairs, our master jeweler restores damaged pieces to original condition. Services include ring resizing, stone setting, rhodium plating, and heirloom refurbishment. We employ traditional techniques alongside modern technology to preserve both integrity and aesthetics.
Engraving Services
Add meaningful inscriptions to jewelry or gift items using our precision engraving equipment. We offer traditional hand engraving and machine-assisted options for text or simple graphics. This service enhances sentimental value while maintaining professional quality standards for lasting legibility.
Heirloom Refurbishment
Modernize antique pieces while preserving historical elements through careful cleaning, structural reinforcement, and selective redesign. Our specialists handle delicate repairs, stone replacement, and style updates that honor original craftsmanship while adapting designs for contemporary wearability and comfort.
