Here are just a few of the major jewelry repairs we do. If you have a jewelry problem come and see me.
Especially when others tell you it can't be done. At A Jour there is no such thing. Pretty much anything can be repaired changed or manipulated.

Facts on Jewelry Repair and Restoration
Jewelry does wear a great deal, especially rings. These worn pieces will have to be repaired and refurbished to prevent stone loss and damage on clothing or body.
The most common wear is the "grinding" away of the prong material holding your gemstones in place. This wear is especially cumbersome because it can result in the loss of the gems. We restore your settings to their original beauty and functionality.
Under certain circumstances, jewelry will get damaged. Stones are especially sensitive to physical abuse. Hitting a ring against a wall, or sudden extreme temperature changes, can crack a stone.
They say “diamonds are forever”, yes if you do not break or crack them!
Diamonds can be broken and or chipped. Chipped stones can be re-cut.
If you need true professional care and repair services, bring me your pieces for a competent evaluation of your jewelry restoration.
