Ring Sizing
If your favourite ring, or that special surprise doesn’t quite fit, we can re-size it just for you. We can add or remove metal to create the perfect fit, or even re-build the band to add extra life to an old favourite. In our workshop, we have the specialist equipment to ensure a perfect finish. Our qualified master jeweller has over 40 years of experience resizing rings.
Reclawing
Diamonds and gems need to be set in the right mount to ensure they are secure. Over time, claws on jewellery can lose their integrity and wear down, and they need special attention to repair. In our workshop, we can rebuild the claws on your treasured rings to ensure the gems are kept securely in place, giving you peace of mind every time you wear them.

Gem setting is a fine art, mastered by only the most skilled jewellers. Setting a gem in a ring or piece of jewellery is all about ensuring the correct placement to achieve maximum brilliance and optimum beauty. Not only does our master jeweller, Bernie Santen have over 40 years experience, he also has a degree in Gemmology and a diploma in Diamond Technology.
