Bench services questions
Can my casting house deliver my piece to you?
Yes. Have it delivered to 34 W 46th St, Suite 403, New York, NY 10036, and let us know before it arrives so we can match it to your request.
Do you work on pieces from any casting house?
Yes. We work with your piece as it arrives. We do not test the karat of the metal, so please confirm the metal with your casting house.
Are the prices on this page final?
They are starting prices for simple work. We inspect your piece for free when it arrives and confirm the final price before we start. Complex pieces, delicate stones, or extra work can cost more.
Why does setting some stones cost more?
Emerald, Opal, Tanzanite, Tourmaline, and Peridot are more delicate and can break while setting, so they take more time and care. Fancy shapes also take longer than round stones.
Can you supply the stones?
Yes. Choose "I need stones" in the estimator and we will quote the stones separately and send you options.
How long does it take?
It depends on the piece and the work needed. We give you a timeline when we inspect your piece and confirm the price. If you have a deadline, tell us in your request.
How do I drop off or pick up my piece?
Drop-offs and pickups are by appointment only, so a jeweler is at the bench and has time to check your piece in with you. Call, text, or WhatsApp us at (347) 542-7061 to book.
Where can I read your terms?
Bench services follow our Jewelry Repair Terms, including the section on castings and stones you supply.
