Custom Jewelry, Expert Repairs, Detailed Appraisals
Let Plumb Gold care for your every jewelry need - we are happy to offer jewelry repair and appraisal services in addition to our custom jewelry design and our curated collection of jewelry pieces ready to enjoy.
Part of what makes Plumb Gold so special is that much of our jewelry is designed in-house. We have a selection of over 200 limited editions. As design experts, our custom and one-of-a-kind pieces set us apart from other jewelers.We offer custom consultations to take your ideas and incorporate them into a unique piece made just for you. We are able to re-create or modify any of our limited editions or one-of-a-kind designs for a special gem of a different shape or color. The unique piece of jewelry we create for you can be cast in any color gold or in platinum.With any piece of Plumb Gold jewelry, we offer free cleaning and inspection. Bring your jewelry in any time to keep it looking like new!
The process begins with a sketch or an idea.
Next, the jewelry is formed in wax, which is either hand-carved or 3D printed from a computer model. The wax model can be refined and modified to ensure that it fits your vision perfectly.
The piece is cast in gold using a lost-wax process. The jewelry is then polished and any stones are set.
From sketch to finished piece of jewelry can be as short as 2 weeks or as long as 8 weeks.
Appraisals are thorough written valuations prepared in-house at Plumb Gold by professionals using standards set by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). An appraisal may take a few days to a few weeks to complete depending on the complexity of the piece, and the current workload of the appraiser. Our appraisers are GIA trained with graduate diamonds, graduate colored stones, and graduate gemologist credentials. The GIA is internationally recognized as having the strictest and most comprehensive set of grading standards in the jewelry industry. Values given in written appraisals represent the retail price at which the appraised item may be purchased in a retail jewelry store and do not necessarily reflect the price at which the appraised or similar jewelry may be purchased at Plumb Gold. Consideration is given to design execution, quality, brands, and trademarks. Because jewelry appraisal and evaluation is not a pure science, and is therefore subjective, estimates of replacement value may vary from one appraiser to another. Such variance does not necessarily constitute error on the part of the appraiser. Appraisals are prepared solely as an estimate of approximate replacement value at a specific time and place using current market information.
