Important Notes
The prices shown are estimates and may vary depending on the piece, the metal, its condition and the stone.
Where a price is a range, the exact amount depends on details like the cut of the stone or the width of the band. Bring your jewelry in and we will give you an exact quote.
Sizing notes
- Normal sizing is one color metal with no pattern.
- Narrow rings are up to 3mm wide and 1.5mm thick.
- Wide rings are up to 5.5mm wide and 1.5mm thick.
- Rings with larger shanks than this need an estimate.
- We add and use plumb gold and solder when sizing up.
- Sizing up or down can cause stones to loosen. When we see a problem, we will call you before starting work. Extra charges may apply.
- Most rings have limits on how far they can be sized up or down. If you are unsure, bring it in for an estimate.
- Class rings and sterling silver are worked on a case by case basis. Bring them in for an estimate.
Tipping notes
- A tip broken off below the girdle is considered a prong.
- Heat sensitive stones are reset at an additional charge.
Setting notes
- The prices above are for ordinary jobs. We will give you an estimate for extremely valuable stones, extremely fragile stones, or stones of a shape or size where the findings are not available.
- We get requests to straighten stones in channels, or to raise them to align with their neighbors. It is very difficult to move stones that were cast in place. We will correct factory defects where possible.
Engraving notes
- Inside ring engraving is available in block or script.
