The know-how of our team guarantees that your jewelry will be safe, there will be no defects, it will not break easily, and it will have proper nailing where required.
JEWELRY REPAIR
Jewelry is created with art and care. Every handmade jewelry is unique and to maintain its original condition it needs care! So for the sake of care, a process not so difficult for you as long as you follow some tips such as:
- Keep your jewelry separate from each other in a jewelry box.
- It is best not to come in contact with creams, colognes, sweat or chemicals.
- Jewelry with precious stones should be checked at reasonable intervals as frequent blows can disrupt the nailing of the stone.
In addition to the above, accidents occur, a blow, a pull or a contact with chemicals can occur. In this case we can undertake the repair of your jewelry.
Repair techniques we use depending on the wear:
Jewelry that broke
The gluing of the broken jewelry can be done either with the use of adhesive material or with laser.
We use the first technique in more durable and thick jewelry which has little or no stones and can withstand fire and adhesive. After welding, the jewelry is polished so that the point where it was stuck is not visible.
The second technique, that of the laser, we use it in more sensitive jewelry (mainly thin), in jewelry with stones that can not withstand high temperatures and those that have enamel. Varnishing is followed in this technique as well.
Jewelry that tanned
The color changes but not the jewelry. Contact with colognes, creams, cleansers and antiseptics can affect the color of the jewelry. There is also the possibility that your jewelry will be affected by heavy sweating as well as by improper storage. Cleaning with a special brush and plating will bring the color back to normal.
Jewelry that lost its shape
Rings or bracelets are the jewelry that most often lose their shape after pressing or hitting. Only a full (solid) piece of jewelry can return to its original shape. Unfortunately an empty jewel (hollow) is impossible to repair.
Jewelry that lost stones
In case of loss of one or more stones, there is the possibility of replacing them with the method of nailing.

JEWELERY RESTORATION
It is very likely and very lucky that there are some old family heirlooms in your jewelry box. Jewelry from other eras and with obviously different aesthetics. Ornate jewelry, of great beauty but usually also of great sensitivity.
Jewelry restoration requires very careful care of the object and very careful use of modern technology. It requires good knowledge of materials and their durability and it also requires patience. An antique piece of jewelry may need to go through the following steps:
Ultrasonic cleaning of jewelry and stones
The best and safest method of cleaning jewelry, which penetrates deeply and does not strain the object.
Stone change
Where this is required and possible. This procedure removes any broken or damaged stones and replaces them with new ones, in the same or similar cut and color (unless you wish to change).
Damage repair
Minor breaks, bumps, repairs or even reconstruction of stone supports, are some of the repairs that an old piece of jewelry may need during its restoration.
Restoration of glaze and textures
An old piece of jewelry can be polished to regain its old shine and glamor. Accordingly, it can be made into a patina, in order to emphasize its antique character. In addition, any forged, textured or other textures that may have deteriorated over time may be renewed.
Restoration of engravings
With time and use, any scratches on the surface of the jewelry may have been smoothed. Skilled craftsmen can re-engrave the pattern to make it visible again.
It is very important that the craftsman who will undertake the restoration of your jewelry has a very good knowledge of the materials and especially the precious or semi-precious stones that adorn it and their durability.

JEWELERY CLEANING
Soap, creams, dust and sweat are the main causes that a piece of jewelry gets dirty and dull.
For cleaning we use special liquids and the ultrasonic machine. With this process we restore the shine to jewelry, mainly with stones.
JEWELRY POLISHING
When we polish a piece of jewelry, it means that we restore its gloss. Polishing should be done on jewelry that has damage from marks and abrasions.
