Restoration FAQs
Is it safe to restore very old jewelry?
Yes. Our master jewelers use cold-laser welding technology, allowing us to perform high-heat repairs on precious metals without heating or damaging surrounding fragile antique gemstones.
Will restoring a vintage piece decrease its value?
No. Unlike coins or wood furniture, restoring structural stability and replacing missing stones actually preserves and increases the value of fine jewelry by making it wearable and secure again.
How do you match stones for antique rings?
We work with a network of premium vintage dealers to source matching historical cut diamonds (such as Old European or Rose cuts) that match the color, clarity, and geometry of your piece.
