Jewelry Restoration
Richter’s also offers complete jewelry restoration. Unlike a repair, a restoration is much more extensive and can include shank replacement, prong replacement, stone re-cutting, detail and engraving restoration and undercarriage replacement. Restoration incorporates the same techniques that were use when the item was originally created keeping the “original” item intact and reviving it to a like new condition. However, each restoration is unique and Richter’s cannot guarantee that all jewelry items can in fact be restored. Each article of jewelry must be evaluated on a case by case basis to determine whether restoration is possible and just how much it will cost.
