Repairs & appraisals

Care for the jewellery you already own

Bring it in and Walter will look at it with you. Every repair, setting and appraisal is done here, by the same hands that make our new pieces. Nothing is sent away.

Repairs & stone setting

Replacement stones
We find a stone to match, or a better one, and set it to repair or update your piece.
Setting & prongs
Loose stones secured, worn prongs and settings rebuilt before a stone is lost.
Sizing & restoration
Rings resized, chains and clasps repaired, and tired pieces polished back to life.

Redesign

New life for an heirloom

Instead of repairing an old piece, we can reuse its gold and stones to make something entirely new, made to your specifications. A dated ring, a single earring, or a drawer of inherited pieces can become something you will wear every day.

Redesign
Your materials, a new design, drawn for you first.
Reproduction
A new piece made in the style of one you have, or a faithful copy.
