Preserving Brilliance, Ensuring Security
At Bivzuno , we specialize in safeguarding the longevity and beauty of your fine jewelry through our Stone Inspection & Setting Check services. Gemstones, no matter how valuable or well-cut, are only as secure as their settings. Over time, even the most expertly crafted jewelry can experience subtle shifts, loosening, or wear in the settings—putting your investment at risk. Our inspections are designed to catch these issues early, using both visual assessments and advanced microscopic techniques to deliver precise evaluations. By proactively maintaining the integrity of stone fittings, we help our clients avoid losses, preserve heirlooms, and maintain peace of mind.
Uncompromising Accuracy Through Dual-Method Inspection
We employ a two-step process that begins with a meticulous visual inspection using trained human eyes and magnification tools. This stage allows our experts to identify surface-level wear, evident movement, or gaps that may indicate a compromised setting. Following this, we perform a microscopic inspection to reveal hidden issues invisible to the naked eye—such as microfractures in prongs, fine loosening around the girdle of the gemstone, or subtle wear on channel settings. This layered approach ensures comprehensive diagnostics and delivers actionable recommendations.
Key Features of Our Inspection Process:
- High-Magnification Equipment: Enables detection of micro-wear and structural fatigue.
- Skilled Gemological Analysis: Certified professionals examine each piece thoroughly.
- Setting Integrity Scoring: A scoring method that rates the security level of each setting.
- Client-Focused Reporting: Detailed visual reports with imagery and repair suggestions.
- Ongoing Monitoring Plans: Ideal for jewelers, collectors, or frequent wearers.
Preventative Maintenance to Avoid Costly Repairs
Neglected settings can result in gemstone loss—a situation far more expensive and emotionally distressing than a preventive inspection. With Bivzuno ’s approach, we emphasize early intervention , which can extend the life of your jewelry and retain its value. Whether it’s a daily-wear ring or an ornate pendant reserved for special occasions, identifying a loose prong or worn bezel early means a simple tightening or refurbishment rather than a full restoration or replacement of a lost gem.
This is especially crucial for antique or custom-designed jewelry, where the original gemstone or craftsmanship cannot be easily replicated. Our professionals also provide insights into the long-term durability of specific materials—such as the tendency of white gold to lose prong tension over time, or platinum’s resistance to wear but susceptibility to microscopic bending.
Custom Solutions for Different Jewelry Types
Not all settings are created equal, which is why we adapt our methods to the specifics of your jewelry. From prong settings and channel settings to tension mounts and pave arrangements , each style presents unique vulnerabilities. Our team tailors the inspection process based on the architecture and age of the piece, ensuring an informed assessment. We also consider lifestyle and wear patterns—whether the piece is frequently exposed to movement, moisture, or impact—which can accelerate deterioration in settings.
Our evaluations don’t stop at stones alone. We also assess the overall structural integrity of the jewelry, ensuring that clasps, hinges, and solder points are in prime condition. This holistic approach allows us to deliver comprehensive care and maintenance suggestions beyond just gemstone security.
