Our Restoration Process
A methodical, transparent approach — you'll know exactly what's happening to your piece at every stage.
Assessment & Consultation
Every restoration begins with a thorough examination of your piece. We inspect stone security, structural integrity, metal wear, and overall condition — then discuss your goals, whether that's preserving its original character or modernizing the design.
Stabilization & Repair
Before any cosmetic work, we address structural concerns: rebuilding worn shanks, retipping prongs, re-tipping bezels, and securing loose stones. This ensures the piece is physically sound and safe for daily wear.
Stone Care & Resetting
Stones are carefully removed, cleaned, and inspected under magnification. Chipped or worn stones can be re-cut or replaced. We then reset each stone with precision — preserving original layouts or reimagining them entirely.
Refinishing & Polish
The final step brings back the piece's original luster. We hand-polish, refinish textures, and apply rhodium plating to white gold if needed. The result is a piece that looks and feels like new — while honoring its history.
What We Restore
From century-old antiques to pieces that just need a refresh — we handle the full spectrum of repair and restoration work.
