Gemstone Repairs
|
The Gemcutter provides a high quality gemstone repair service. This professional service in gemstone repair will deliver
maximum weight retention, excellent polish and I strive for perfect symmetry.
The only time dimensions will change is if a chip is on the edge of the stone, otherwise the stone will fit the original setting. For pears or marquises that have minor tip damage, chances are good these will fit back in the original setting also. For bezel set stones that only need a table re-polish, it is not necessary to remove from the ring. The normal turn around time is two weeks. The cost of this service is $75 / hour. If you have any questions or you are ready to send your repair in, call Wes @ 704.778.6967. |
