Professional Prong Re-tipping Services
Restore the security of your precious stones with expert prong re-tipping services. Our skilled craftsmen rebuild worn prongs to ensure your gemstones remain beautifully protected for generations.
The Critical Importance of Prong Maintenance
Prongs are the delicate metal claws that secure your precious gemstones in place. Over time, daily wear causes these essential components to thin and weaken, putting your valuable stones at risk. Professional re-tipping restores prongs to their original strength, ensuring lasting security and peace of mind.
