Expert Jewelry and Watch Repair All of our service work is done in-house, so you can feel comfortable leaving your jewelry service work with us. Our offerings include: ~ Prong re-tipping LaserStar Laser Welder
With a laser welder, we are able to do our repairs faster than if they were done with traditional methods. This way, you don't have to be without your jewelry for months at a time. The laser repairs are also 250% stronger than traditional welding. The laser's pinpoint accuracy also leaves little danger to heat sensitive stones, so they maintain their color and brilliance, longer. Our Goldsmiths
