Matching policy
If an exact visual match cannot be sourced (e.g., rare vintage cuts), we’ll show close alternatives and only proceed with your approval. If you prefer to wait for the perfect match, we pause the job—no pressure, no surprises.
Turnaround & pricing
Simple melee replacements can be same day. Centre stones and structural work typically take 24–72 hours. Quotes are fixed before work begins; multi-stone jobs may be bundled for value.

Gemstone Replacement FAQs
Why do stones fall out?
Everyday wear can thin claws and open seats; knocks misalign settings. We repair the structure before setting your replacement stone.
Will the new stone stay secure?
Yes—after rebuilding/tightening, we set under magnification and test each prong. We also advise periodic setting checks for pavé pieces.
