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 possibly be returned to a wearable state for many years or possibly even decades to come. Like jewelry repairs, some 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.
