Gemstone Jewelry Renovation FAQs

How do I get started?

We typically begin with a phone consultation to talk about your jewelry and your style. We'll review photos of your jewelry and brainstorm about what new pieces we could create from your materials for you to enjoy everyday. There is no cost for the consultation. After your consultation, we'll send you a proposal with complete designs, descriptions, and pricing for what we would recommend!

Can I schedule an in-person consultation at your NYC studio?

We like to start with a preliminary consultation phone call to understand what you're looking for and make sure we're the right fit for the project. We've found our phone appointments to be a very focused and effective format.

Once we have a bit of clarity and direction, you're welcome to visit in-person at our Flatiron NYC studio for any followup questions, and to drop off your materials with us. We're always happy to arrange that!

What does it cost to renovate jewelry?

We price each custom project individually and present complete pricing with our proposals. Costs vary depending on the type of piece, labor, complexity, and materials involved in your project.


Many of our projects are in the $1500-$6000 range. We have beautiful design concepts under $1500 if you are open to suggestions. We can apply the value of any extra gold or platinum from your original materials towards the cost of your project.

Can you work with cracked or chipped gemstones?

In many cases we can rescue a cracked or chipped gemstone by re-cutting or polishing it using lapidary techniques.

Book in to start a conversation with us about your unique jewelry renovation! We'd love to chat with you about your pieces, your style, and how we can work together to create something new that you will enjoy wearing.
