Inspections Provide Financial Protection

Your jeweler will examine your jewelry for loose or damaged stones, worn prongs and faulty clasps.  Not only will this help prevent potential losses, it will make you feel more secure about wearing your jewelry.  If you wear jewelry on a daily basis, we recommend you visit Ariadne Fine Jewelry for inspection.

Responsive & Interactive

Jewelry values can change drastically over the years. Your jeweler will update the value of your jewelry during the inspection and will make service or repair recommendations.  It is just one more way to make sure your jewelry is fully protected and adequately covered.

Periodic Cleaning is Important

Bring in your jewelry to Ariadne Fine Jewelry for regular cleaning and inspection at least once a year.  Every six months for diamond jewelry. Take advantage of our appraisal services to assure the most up-to-date valuation on all your fine jewelry.

Customer Information

Customers may prefer not to disclose their own personal "treatments", like a change in hair color or a face-lift.  But they should always tell their jeweler if they know their gemstones are treated. Disclosure between friends is a private matter, but when someone brings a piece of jewelry for repair, it's a business matter.  The jeweler must know the condition of all the gems. Testing a jeweler's knowledge by allowing or leading him to assume a stone is naturally colored is a dangerous game. Sometimes the take-in time allows only for a brief inspection.  Some treatments take a laboratory gemologist to spot.  A treated stone may not be detected.
