Stones handled by gemologists, not guesswork

Setting work is where cheap repairs go wrong — a stone chipped in the setting, a mismatched replacement, a prong that lets go a month later. Every stone that comes to us is worked by a master jeweler under magnification, with trained gemologists (HRD Antwerp and ERIJ) documenting and checking your diamonds and gemstones.

If a stone is missing, we source a true match in cut, color and size so the piece looks whole again. If prongs or bezels are worn, we rebuild them so nothing shifts or falls.

You approve a firm, flat quote after we inspect the piece, and it ships back to you fully insured.

A loose stone rarely announces itself before it's gone. Worn or bent prongs are the single most common reason a stone falls out — often loosening gradually over months until, one day, the setting is empty. If you can feel a stone move, or a prong catches on a sweater or scarf, that's the moment to send it in, not after. A pavé or eternity band that's lost two or three accent stones over the years usually didn't lose them all at once; each one worked loose the same unnoticed way. Once a diamond is gone from a pavé setting, it's essentially never recovered — which is why we'd rather catch a bent prong on a solitaire early than replace a stone later.

Where stone setting starts

$79

Stone Setting start at $79. That group covers re-setting loose or fallen stones, prong rebuilding, bezel repair, and pavé and channel stone replacement.

This is the lowest starting point for the group — not the final price. Every piece is inspected and quoted individually, you get one firm number, and nothing is worked on until you approve it. What that number always covers is listed under what your quote includes, and every group’s starting price is in one table on the home page.

Matching a stone in an older piece is a search rather than an order — repairing something antique or inherited explains what else the age changes.

Comparing costs before you decide? What a repair costs puts all seven starting prices, both package prices and the six things that move a number on one page.

Wondering what that one number actually buys? Here is what a repair quote covers, line by line — and what would ever be quoted separately.

Sourcing a matching stone is the one step nobody can put a date on in advance. How long a repair takes explains what that does to a timeline.

Stone setting FAQ

My stone is loose — can you secure it?

Yes. We re-set and secure loose center and accent stones under magnification, before they're lost.

I lost a stone — can you replace it?

Yes. We source a matching diamond or colored gemstone and set it so it blends with the rest of the piece.

How much does stone setting cost?

It depends on the setting type, the stone and whether a replacement is needed. We send a firm flat quote after inspection, and you approve it before any work begins.

Do you re-tip worn prongs?

Yes. Worn prongs are rebuilt so they hold your stones securely again.

Do gemologists check my stones?

Yes. Anything involving stones is overseen by gemologists trained by HRD Antwerp and the ERIJ Foundation, so your diamonds and gemstones are documented and handled correctly.

Is my jewelry insured when I mail it?

Yes. You ship on a prepaid, fully insured FedEx label through IFS (In4Sure), tracked, with signature required, both ways.

Not sure whether a stone is actually loose? Our guide on the six signs a stone is working loose walks through a 60-second check you can do at home — the tap test, the prong tips that snag on knitwear, the dirt that will not wash out — and explains why pushing a bent prong back yourself makes the repair bigger, not smaller.
