Gemstone Care

When comparing engagement rings, price is often where people begin. That makes sense - it's a financial commitment as well as an emotional one. But when a purchase carries lifelong significance, it deserves consideration beyond the price tag. A lower purchase price almost always reflects a shortcut - in materials, craftsmanship, or the service that follows. When people shop based on price alone, it incentivises jewellers to optimise for cost rather than quality. At GemsNGlitz, we've chosen to optimise for your experience. Here's what that looks like in practice.

01. Custom-built Settings

In other many workshops, master settings are pre-cast and stones are selected to fit within a template. At GemsNGlitz, the process runs in reverse. We don't cast your setting until we know your exact diamond. The seat is cut specifically for that one stone, and claw placement, height and support structures are engineered around its proportions. This approach takes more time, but it ensures even pressure distribution and greater structural integrity over decades of wear.

02. Expert Craftsmanship

Precision tools like high-fidelity microscopes, pneumatic gravers and laser welders are standard at every GemsNGlitz bench. A pneumatic graver strikes metal thousands of times in rapid succession, hardening the claw and increasing its tensile strength - helping lock your diamond securely in place and reducing the risk of claws lifting over time. Laser welders allow for highly precise repairs and resizing, giving the ring far more strength than traditional soldering. These are investments in ensuring your ring is built for a lifetime, not just the proposal.

This Isn't an Everyday Purchase
