Repairs

 

 

Your jewelry has sentimental value. With this in mind, we treat each piece you bring us like royalty -  taking a photograph and writing a detailed description for our records and yours. (We stop short of notifying the tabloids, however.) Your jewelry also spends each night secured in our safe, far from the prying eyes of paparazzi.

 

In addition to offering in-house jewelry repair services for over three decades, our store was the first in northern Michigan to invest in a Rofin laser welder. This state-of-the-art jeweler’s tool provides greater precision in metalworking and allows us to make repairs that were previously impossible.  Our skill with the laser and reputation for high-quality work are why other jewelers come to us with their most difficult repairs. 

 

 

 

Our talented team can bend, forge, cast, fabricate, polish, size and “texture” all precious metals and set any type of gemstone.  Whatever the work, every piece of jewelry is inspected twice before it leaves our store. Among our extensive services are: 

 

•   Ring sizing. Specializing in comfort fit, adjustable shanks and speed bumps for those with arthritis and knuckle concerns.  

 

•   Diamond and colored gemstone setting and tightening. Diamonds want to be free!  Did you know that faceted diamonds are harder than metal? When they loosen in their settings, they spin and cut their way, with a saw-like action, through gold, silver and platinum.  We tighten stones and repair worn settings.

 

•   Refinishing and rhodium plating. We remove everyday scratches and scuffs and bring your jewelry back to its original luster.

 

•   Pearl and bead restringing and re-knotting. Our stringer is a perfectionist, using the  highest-quality materials and her decades of experience. 

 

•   Watch battery replacement and watch band sizing. Watch battery replacement and band sizing both cost $15.
