So, this post starts as a fairy tale… Once upon a time, when grandparents were very young, they traveled to France on their honeymoon and visited many romantic places. One such place was Our Lady of Chartres Cathedral in Chartres, which is about 1.5 hour from Paris. They sneaked inside a workshop where the antique […]

Our client said that her Great Grandmother only had junk jewelry, and she has nothing to wear in her memory! This is what we have received, and this is what we have returned! A magic transformation from “junk” to “fabulous”!

Our client brought to us a very old, antique, Native American necklace, which belonged to her Grand-Aunt. She probably acquired it from an Old Pawn shop, somewhere in Arizona, as it included fabulous Navajo “pearls” made of Sterling Silver and very unique carved stone beads, as well as hand-cut Heishi Shell Coral beads. The necklace […]

The only problem was that the belt was no longer golden… Time, tear, and wear made it look rusty brown… and we had to find a way to bring it back to live!

Our dear client came to us with several decorative brass buttons… These buttons were very small and dainty, and we asked where they came from. She said that while cleaning the attic, she went through her grandma’s trunk and there was a tiny navy coat, which grandma probably wore when she was 5 or 6 […]

It’s a pure joy and enormous satisfaction to restore a stunning piece of jewelry! That’s how we received this old beauty and that’s how we let it go back home to its owner!

Our happy customer is wearing her favorite blue glass moonstone necklace again! This multistrand vintage necklace came to us broken in several pieces and we had to fully restrung it and add a new clasp. What a pleasure to see a beautiful smiling lady wearing a gorgeous necklace!

Hello Friends and Clients! We would like to share our latest restoration project of a wonderful antique blackamoor brooch. It’s depicting an exotic dancer in bejeweled boots and matching miniskirt. Check it out as we hope you would appreciate our restoration efforts!

This 1930’s brooch originally had a lot of paint chipped of. All cracks and losses were repainted. Afterwards, everything was sealed with a gloss to prevent further damage.

These earrings are made of a metal alloy that was coated by a gold enamel. They were made in the 1950’s and due to the long period of usage the gold was worn down in many places. I repainted both earrings and varnished them completely.
