How do I size my fingers for rings?
jewelry authentication
Unless otherwise stipulated all gemstones are graded insofar as mounting permits observation. This is the generally accepted practice within the Jewelry Trade when mounted stones are presented for evaluation. Approximate weights will generally be calculated with the use of an A.D. Leveridge gauge, and volumetric formula, or equivalent method. Color of larger and unmounted diamonds will be determined with the use of one of our Master Color comparison
diamond grading sets. Quality ranges expressed will be assessed by our Experts with the use of a 10-power loupe, that is corrected for chromatic distortion and spherical aberration/aplanatic. Gemological Institute of America “GIA” grading scale will be used to describe findings where appropriate. When gemstones are in their settings, full observation is not possible, therefore all weights, and quality must be understood as approximate unless accompanied by a grading report from an independent grading laboratory such as GIA, EGL, GCAL AGL.
Dating of an Estate, Vintage, or Antique item is based on observation of manufacturing technique, and any other relevant considerations. Due to the infinite number of possibilities this makes the process less than an exact science. Experience is sometimes what is needed, when other data is not available, or knowable by classic methods.

Where repairs are required, they may include Sizing, replacing or repairing clasps, re-tipping prongs or tightening stones, and re-finishing or polishing. We know that inadvertent bumps and bruises can cause damage to Jewelry. We will cheerfully examine the situation and give you an estimate of charges, and how long it will take if it requires extra time.
