Laser Welding
In 2003, we purchased a new Crafford Laserstar laser welder. This piece of equipment is the newest in welding technology. The laser points a high intensity amplified light beam to fuse metal together. This is done without any heat being transferred to the rest of the jewelry. This allows a ring to be welded while holding it in your hand. No heat transfer means greater safety for sensitive gemstones such as emeralds and opals. By fusing the metal, it leaves no seam. We can weld most costume jewelry as well as all precious metals. We have expanded our platinum repairs greatly with the Laserstar. We now have added special platinum polishing equipment as well as platinum polishing compounds at the Abingdon store. We can also weld titanium eyeglasses with the Laserstar. Travis Gobble has been trained at the Laserstar factory in Rhode Island.
Gemological Services
Mark Goodman is a Graduate Gemologist trained by The Gemological Institute of America. We offer jewelry appraisals, diamond grading and gem identification. Our gem lab, located in the Abingdon store, has all the latest equipment for gemological testing. We have a gemscope, Gran colorimeter computer, polariscope, refractometer, dicroscope, specific gravity liquids, and ultraviolet lamps. These pieces of equipment, along with digital imaging equipment, are used for insurance evaluations as well as quality assurance. We grade diamonds for clarity, color, and cut grades. We also identify enhanced diamonds. All of our diamonds from 0.5 carat and larger come with a diamond evaluation stating clarity, color, and cut grades as well as diamond weights and mounting descriptions.
