Repair and maintenance - Resize and repair rings and jewelry in addition to inspecting, cleaning, and polishing pieces during routine maintenance. Occasionally perform routine repair work on jewelry we didn’t create.

Stone setting - Set diamonds and gemstones securely. Please note that many of our designs feature bezel set stones which requires particular skill to set securely leaving the bezel clean and even.

Team collaboration - Meet regularly with our fulfillment and quality control team to share feedback regarding designs, structural integrity of pieces, and coordinate efficient job flow.
