Jewellery FAQs
Common questions about repairs, custom designs, and our services.
Do you do the repairs at the store, or do you send my jewelry away?
This is the most important question you can ask! Because we are located inside the mall, safety regulations prevent us from using heavy torches or melting metals right at the counter.
However, we provide expert jewelry repair services in our own private, secure workshop with our own employees. We do not mail your jewelry to a third-party factory; our team handles your pieces personally to ensure the highest quality control.
How long does a ring sizing or general repair take?
We know you hate being without your ring! Whether you need a simple fix or complex ring resizing in Toronto, our standard turnaround time is 7 to 10 days. We always aim to get it done sooner if possible, but we prefer to take the time to do it right rather than rushing.
Do you repair watches?
Yes, we do. We have a professional watchmaker at our workshop handling our watch repair and battery replacement services.
- Batteries & Links: Can usually be done quickly.
- Internal Repairs: For movement servicing or glass replacement, it is a two-step process. First, we need about 7 days to give you a proper estimate. If you approve the price, the repair generally takes another 10 to 15 days to complete.
My white gold ring is starting to look a little yellow. Is that normal?
Totally normal. White gold is actually yellow gold mixed with white alloys, and then dipped in a bright white metal called Rhodium. Over time, that rhodium plating wears off. As part of our white gold jewelry maintenance, we can polish and re-dip your ring to make it look brand new and bright white again. We recommend doing this once a year.
Can you fix my chain? I pulled it and it snapped.
Yes, we can. Gold chain repair and soldering is one of our most common jobs. We use a torch or laser at our workshop to reconnect the links so it’s strong again. However, if a chain is hollow or extremely worn out, we might suggest replacing it, as it will just keep breaking in different spots. We’ll always be honest about whether it’s worth fixing.
I have a ring stuck on my finger! Can you help?
Don't panic! We have special tools for safe ring removal to cut rings off without hurting you. And don’t worry about the ring—because we are manufacturers, we can repair the cut and size it correctly for you once your finger swelling goes down.
How often should I have my claws (prongs) checked?
We recommend coming in every 6 months for a "check-up." It’s free and takes two seconds. We check to make sure the claws holding your diamond haven't been pulled back or worn down. It is much cheaper to repair a diamond setting than to replace a lost diamond!
I have old jewelry I don't wear anymore. Can I use it towards something new?
Absolutely. We offer a "Trade-In & Upgrade" service. We can assess your old gold or diamonds and apply that value directly as a credit toward a new purchase. It is the most cost-effective way to trade in gold for jewelry that you will actually wear!
Can we melt down my old gold to make a new custom piece?
Yes. This is one of our favorite things to do. We can take your grandmother’s old broken chains or dated rings, melt the gold at our workshop, and use your diamonds to create a modern piece. It’s a great way to start your custom jewelry design project while keeping the sentimental value.
How does the custom design process work?
It’s a collaboration. First, we sit down and sketch out your ideas or look at pictures you like. Then, we create a 3D computer model (CAD) so you can see exactly what it will look like. Once you approve that, our team casts it, sets the stones, and finishes your custom engagement ring by hand.
Is custom jewelry way more expensive than buying it out of the showcase?
Not necessarily! Because there is no "middleman" brand markup, affordable custom jewelry is often comparable in price to brand-name designer pieces. Plus, you get exactly what you want within your budget.
Can you copy a ring if I show you a picture from Pinterest/Instagram?
We can use a picture as inspiration to create something very similar, yes. As specialists in bespoke jewelry manufacturing, we can also tweak the design to make it more durable or to fit your budget better.
Do I need an appointment to see you?
We really appreciate walk-ins! You are welcome to stop by our jewelry store in Scarborough Town Centre area anytime during mall hours. However, if you are planning a custom design consultation or have a lot of questions, you can book an appointment to ensure we have dedicated time for you. Call us at 905-904-7939 or use our contact page.
Do you offer Appraisals for Insurance?
Yes. Our jewelry appraisals for insurance are done by our expert appraiser at our workshop. Because we want to be thorough, we do not do these "while you wait." The process generally takes 2 to 5 days, and you will receive a detailed document perfect for insurance purposes.
What is your return policy?
We want you to love what you buy. While we do not offer cash refunds, we are happy to offer an exchange for a different item of similar value.
Do you buy gold for cash?
No, we do not buy gold for cash. We strictly offer gold trade-in value towards our merchandise or custom services.
What is the difference between Lab-Grown and Natural Diamonds?
Chemically and physically, they are identical—they are both real diamonds. The difference is their origin. Natural diamonds were formed in the earth billions of years ago. Lab-grown diamonds are created in a facility. When comparing lab-grown vs natural diamonds, lab stones are significantly less expensive, while natural diamonds hold their resale value better. We sell both and are happy to show you the difference side-by-side.
I want to propose, but I don’t know her ring size. What should I do?
This happens all the time! Try to "borrow" a ring she wears on that finger and bring it in. If that’s not possible, we suggest buying the ring in the standard stock size. We can always handle the engagement ring resizing perfectly for her after she says yes.
What are the "4 Cs" and which one matters most?
Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat. While they all matter, Cut is what makes a diamond sparkle. A poorly cut diamond will look dull even if it has perfect color. We can help you balance the 4 Cs to get the best diamond prices and brightest look for your budget.
Do you sell hollow gold or solid gold?
We primarily sell solid gold jewelry because it lasts. Hollow gold (often found in big box stores) dents easily and is very difficult to repair. We believe in selling jewelry that can be worn every day.
Do you clean jewelry?
Yes! If you bought the ring from us, we are happy to give it a professional jewelry steam clean to make it sparkle whenever you stop by.
Can you resize Platinum?
Yes. Platinum ring resizing requires higher heat and specific tools, but our workshop is fully equipped to handle it.
Do you engrave rings?
Yes, we provide jewelry engraving services to add names, dates, or short messages to the inside of most rings.
Do you sell Men’s jewelry?
Of course. We have a great selection of men's gold chains, bracelets, and wedding bands.
