Stone Set Jewellery:

- Replacement of gemstones    

- stone matching    

- claw adjustment

- re polishing stones  

• On the softer stones such as emerald, garnet and opal the surface of the stone can wear away and after time, will need to be re polished or in some cases re cut by a stone cutter (a lapidary).
• Stones greater in hardness such as diamond and sapphire can show signs of wear and tear these harder stones can also be re cut.
• The cost of these services will depend on the number of facets the size of the stone and the stones hardness.
• This service will take 6-8 weeks. In certain circumstances we will advise to replace the stone rather than re cut a damaged stone.
