Our restoration and polishing of church and family heirlooms is of particular interest to our customers. Items made or plated in nickel, bronze, brass and copper can all be restored to near new condition for a fraction of the cost of replacement. The original metal piece is not only saved but restored for future generations to enjoy.

Our precious metal finishing capabilities are of considerable technical merit, and we pride ourselves on our customer service. We complete all preparatory work including disassembly, preliminary chemical cleaning and final re-assembly in house. During this finishing process, we send the metal items to one of several highly qualified gold smiths for plating and polishing. The use of proper equipment insures high quality plating, in appropriate thickness, for long term use by our clients.

Often, church and family heirlooms contain precious and semi-precious gem stones. During any restoration process, we carefully remove the gem stones and store them safely in a secure location. Upon completion of metal restoration, the original jewels are again installed into the metal items. However, in many instances some or all of the jewels are missing. We, through our worldwide sources, have the ability to replace all glass, precious and semi-precious gem stones with equal or greater quality than the originals! We can also apply glass or natural gem stones to metal wares that have never had them. This will substantially improve the value to the restored or new piece! If your gem stone is chipped, we can potentially repair the stone. Often a stone with scratches and rounded faces can be "repaired" (actually re-polished or slightly re-cut) to give the gem a complete face-lift, restoring (or sometimes even surpassing) its former beauty.
