Have Old Gold? Give It New Life.

If you have old jewelry or gold pieces that no longer suit you, don't let them sit in a drawer. Bring them in — we can melt down your existing gold and use it to craft a brand new, one-of-a-kind piece. Your memories, your metal, reimagined. This is one of the most meaningful ways to create something truly personal.

Jewelry Care

A well-crafted piece is built to last a lifetime — and with a little care, it will. Here's how to keep your diamond rings and fine jewelry looking as beautiful as the day you first wore them.

Daily Cleaning at Home

Soak your ring in warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap for 20–30 minutes. Use a soft-bristle toothbrush to gently scrub around the setting and prongs, then rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a lint-free cloth. This simple routine keeps your diamond sparkling between professional cleanings.

When to Take It Off

Remove your jewelry before applying lotions, perfumes, or hairspray — these leave a film that dulls brilliance over time. Take rings off before swimming (chlorine weakens gold alloys), gardening, or any heavy lifting. A little habit goes a long way toward protecting your setting and metal.

Professional Cleaning

We recommend bringing your piece in once a year for a professional ultrasonic cleaning and prong inspection. Over time, daily wear can loosen prongs slightly — catching this early prevents stone loss. Our in-house service takes minutes and keeps your investment secure.

Storing Your Jewelry

Store pieces individually in soft pouches or a fabric-lined jewelry box to prevent scratching. Diamonds are the hardest natural material and will scratch other metals and stones if they touch. Keep white gold and platinum pieces separate from yellow gold to avoid color transfer.

Signs Your Ring Needs Attention

If a stone feels loose, a prong looks bent, or the shank feels thinner than usual — bring it in promptly. Small repairs caught early are simple and affordable. Ignored, they can lead to lost stones or structural damage. Trust your instincts: if something feels off, it probably is.

Annual Check-Up

Think of it like a dental visit for your jewelry. An annual inspection lets us check prong integrity, metal thickness, and overall structural soundness. We'll clean it, tighten anything that's shifted, and send you home confident your ring is in perfect shape for another year of wear.

A note from our bench

We've been handcrafting and restoring fine jewelry since 1996. The pieces that come back to us in the best condition are the ones worn with awareness — not locked away. Wear your jewelry, enjoy it, and bring it in when it needs care. That's what we're here for.
