Gold or Platinum Rings that are being sized up ( made bigger ) will be quoted individually based on the amount and type of gold or platinum that will need to be added. It is normal for a ring to change from feeling loose and snug throughout the day. This relates to changes in body temperature and water retention. Accepting that these fluctuations will occur is the best way to feel happy about the fit of your ring.
RE-TIPPING
The tiny prongs that help to secure a stone in its setting are very prone to becoming damaged. There is not a lot of metal there and over time they can wear thin. Having a strong setting ensures that your stone will be safe. Starting at $100 for 4 claws.
RE-SHANKING
Do you have a thin antique or vintage ring that needs to be re-shanked? Perhaps you have inherited something that you would like to wear but it looks too fragile? We can bring more integrity to a fragile ring by simply replacing the bottom half with new metal. Re-Shanking starting at $200, cost depends greatly on the type of metal we will be using.
REPLACING LOST STONES
Over time it is normal for stones to come loose, especially small stones. We can source something as close as possible to what you have lost, or we can replace it with something different. The cost of the stone and the cost of re-setting it will be determined based on the value of the stone and the complexity of the setting.
RESETTING STONES
So your stone came loose, but it didn’t get lost! This is amazing! We can reset your stone for you. First we will determine how the stone came out in the first place and then secure it in its setting again. Additional charges may apply if a setting needs to be rebuilt. Starting at $50
STONE CUTTING
Do you have a stone that you would like to incorporate into a piece of jewellery? Perhaps it is a pebble from the beach or a smooth un-faceted gemstone that you would like to use in some special way. We can cut the stone to a specific size to fit your unique design. Starting at $50
RING REMOVAL SERVICES

There are 2 different methods of restringing a broken necklace or bracelet.
One is to string each bead on a cord and fasten it at the ends, using a thin stainless steel cable that is coated in nylon that can support the weight of heavier beads.
The other is to string each bead on a cord and tie small knots in the cord in between each bead, insuring that each bead is secure, stable and does not move at all on the cord.
Restringing Starts at $2 per inch. Restringing with knots starts at $3 per inch.

Have you lost a special piece of jewellery? We can reproduce it for you.
We can make a reproduction from a photograph, or make a mold from an existing piece of jewellery based on your needs. Please keep in mind that it is very likely that you will spend more money on the reproduction than you spent on the original piece.
