The detail behind each service
The right method depends on the age, construction and condition of the jewellery. We inspect the piece, explain the available options and confirm the scope before work begins.
From brief to finished object
Commission work may include an initial concept, measured drawings, stone selection, a review of metal weight and a final construction plan. Proportions and practical details are refined before the final price is agreed.
Repair with the original structure in mind
Repairs are planned around the existing alloy, solder lines, stone settings and previous alterations. Where a simple repair could weaken an adjacent area, we explain a more durable alternative.
Engraving and final surface work
Hand engraving, satin finishing, polishing and edge refinement are selected to suit the design. We consider how a surface will change through normal wear and how it can be refreshed later.
Our Guiding Principle
Every piece that arrives at our York workshop carries a personal history. We begin by listening closely to what you hold dear—assessing metal fatigue, stone security and original proportions without haste. We explain every available path in plain terms, giving you the honest technical perspective required before any tool touches gold or silver. Work commences only when the direction is clear, ensuring your treasured jewellery is preserved with quiet confidence.
Before work begins
What an assessment covers
An accurate recommendation starts with the condition of the item, not a photograph alone. An in-person inspection may be needed before a fixed quotation can be provided.
Metal and construction
We look for hallmarks, alloy indications, thin sections, worn joints and signs of previous soldering or repair.
Stone security
Settings are checked for movement, worn claws, damaged seats and contact points that may affect the stone.
Use and proportions
Ring fit, chain movement, clasp access and the way the item is worn help determine the practical repair or design.
Scope and estimate
You receive an explanation of the recommended work, material requirements, price and expected completion window before approval.
