Our expert team takes great care in restoring them to their former glory, combining artistry and technical expertise. We offer comprehensive restoration services for both jewelry and watches, ensuring that every piece is handled with precision and care.
Jewelry Restoration Process
Initial Consultation
Your restoration journey begins with a one-on-one consultation. We’ll discuss your goals and expectations for the piece. Our experts will carefully inspect your jewelry, assessing its current condition and identifying the necessary restoration work.
Documentation
To keep you informed every step of the way, we photograph and document the jewelry’s existing condition. This record will highlight any areas that require attention, ensuring transparency in the restoration process.
Client Approval and Estimate
After assessing the piece, we’ll provide a detailed plan outlining the steps needed to restore it, along with a cost estimate. No work begins without your approval, so you’ll have full control over the process.
Cleaning
Before any repairs are made, we thoroughly clean the piece, removing dirt, grime, and old residues using methods tailored to each metal and gemstone type.
Assessment of Structural Integrity
We inspect the jewelry for any structural weaknesses or damage, planning necessary repairs to restore its integrity. This ensures the piece remains strong and durable for years to come.
Metalwork & Stone Replacement
Damaged metal components, such as prongs, bezels, or settings, are expertly repaired or replaced. Missing or damaged stones will be replaced with carefully matched gemstones, and any loose stones will be securely reset to ensure a flawless finish.
Reassembly & Finishing
Our team reassembles the jewelry, ensuring every component fits seamlessly. We then polish the metal to restore its original shine, applying additional treatments like rhodium plating for white gold pieces.
Quality Control & Final Cleaning
A final quality check ensures that the restoration is complete, and the piece is structurally sound. Once the work is done, we give the jewelry a final cleaning, so it looks as close to its original state as possible.
Client Review and Delivery
Once complete, we’ll present the restored piece to you, ensuring you’re fully satisfied with the work. We’ll also provide care instructions so you can maintain your jewelry’s brilliance in the years to come.
Follow-Up
Our relationship doesn’t end when you leave the store. We follow up with you to ensure your piece remains in excellent condition, giving you peace of mind that your jewelry is as good as new.
Watch Restoration Process
Initial Consultation
Your watch is a finely tuned instrument, and we treat it as such. During the consultation, we’ll discuss your expectations and inspect the watch to identify any needed repairs or restorations.
Documentation
We photograph and document the current condition of the watch, carefully noting any damage or areas requiring restoration. This ensures a clear restoration plan for you to review.
Client Approval and Estimate
Once our experts evaluate the watch, we’ll provide you with a detailed restoration plan and cost estimate. No work is done without your consent, ensuring complete transparency.
Disassembly & Cleaning
To begin, we carefully disassemble the watch, separating its movement, case, and components. Each part is then meticulously cleaned, with the use of ultrasonic cleaning and specialized solutions to remove dirt, grime, and lubricants.
Movement Servicing & Crystal/Case Repair
Our experts will disassemble the watch’s movement, inspecting each part for wear. Damaged parts will be replaced or repaired, and the movement will be cleaned, reassembled, and lubricated for optimal performance. The crystal and case will also be polished or replaced to restore the watch’s exterior to its original brilliance.
Reassembly & Water Resistance Testing
Once all the parts are serviced and restored, we’ll reassemble the watch. For watches with water-resistant features, we conduct rigorous testing to ensure they meet manufacturer specifications.
Quality Control & Final Polishing
We perform a series of tests to ensure the watch is functioning perfectly, checking for timekeeping accuracy, power reserve, and other performance aspects. Afterward, we give the watch a final cleaning and polishing, ensuring it looks as close to new as possible.
Client Review and Delivery
Once your watch is restored, we’ll present it to you, ensuring you’re fully satisfied with the work. We’ll also provide maintenance tips to help you care for your watch moving forward.
