We provide appraisals for Insurance Replacement, Estate Appraisal, Bankruptcy, Liquidation, and Divorce. Our Graduate Gemologist takes a variety of factors into account when determining a piece’s value, such as lab reports and previous receipts, the quality of the gemstones and metals, and the current retail price of similar pieces available today.

You will see your custom piece in every phase of its completion, providing you the opportunity to make changes. Once the CAD rendering is approved, a 3D printed model is made from which the piece is cast.
In many cases, a custom piece can cost less than brand-name jewelry. There can be a considerable savings if you supply your own gold, diamonds, or gemstones.

We repair gold, platinum, sterling, and costume jewelry using the precision of laser-welding technology. One of the greatest compliments we receive is when other jewelers recommend their customer to us.
