I BROKE MY WHAT?

Jewelry is an investment and investments should be protected. That's why preventive maintenance is so important. If you have your jewelry inspected regularly, you decrease your odds of damaging or losing your jewelry tremendously.

The diamond in your ring cost money and often times that stone comes with a certain sentimental value. Losing it requires replacement, and even if your pocketbook can handle it, your emotions may not. A simple prong-check can save you both money and heartache.

Those pearls you're wearing-- did you get them when you graduated or when you got married? Did they belong to your mother or even your grandmother? Or did you buy them to hand down to your own daughter one day? If pearls aren't properly strung and taken care of, that fine cord they're on can break, sending those lovely, round gems in search of every dark crack and crevice conceivable. Again, a simple examination by a qualified jeweler can point out frayed thread and worn catches.
