Buddha & Deity Statue Restoration
Structural cracks were filled and reinforced, then facial features and robe folds were re-sculpted to revive the original expression. The figure was gold plated overall, with genuine gold leaf applied by hand to the crown and ornaments for the layered radiance a sprayed finish cannot give.

Handbag Restoration — Complete Transformation
The chain was dismantled at the links so no contact point stayed masked, stripped of failing plate, polished to remove oxidisation and light scratching, then replated in gold and sealed with a protective coat. The turn-lock clasp and side rings were treated in the same bath for an exact colour match.

AFTER
Plating & Surface Refinement
The buckle arrived with its plating worn through at the edges where it takes the most contact. The failing plate was stripped chemically rather than abrasively so the cast outline kept its crispness, the face was polished back to an even surface, then replated in gold and finished with pavé stones across the frame.
Diamond Setting on Rolex Daytona
Case dismantled and movement removed before any cutting. Full pavé across case, lugs and crown with a rainbow baguette sapphire bezel; reassembled and function-tested.
Custom Cat’s Eye Ring
Client-supplied chatoyant cabochon, set in a hand-fabricated gold mount designed so the eye stays centred at normal viewing angle rather than only when held flat.
Custom Aquamarine & Diamond Earrings
Matched aquamarine pair sourced to the client's colour brief, set with graduated diamond surrounds and fitted with heavier posts for secure daily wear.
