Restoring antique, heirloom, and estate jewelry requires more than the average repair service covers. Antique jewelry that has not been well maintained over the years can be returned to its original state, but requires awareness to the history of the piece. Like jewelry repairs, most restoration projects require gemstone polishing, prong and tip repairs, and possible resizing. However, restoration pays attention to period-specific details and seeks to conserve the original integrity of the piece.
