Bunda CraftsmanshipA workshop polish is where you bring your ring(s) in for a detailed setting check where we identify wear and tear along and check all diamond settings. We then do a full re-polish of the ring to finish as new.
We recommenced a workshop polish every 3 years for engagement and wedding rings however finer rings with many small diamonds set in the shank we recommend every 2 years.

Rings need to be re-sized from time to time as peoples finger size change. A ring too tight or loose is generally not worn due to a lack of comfort and security. Re-sizing is a delicate procedure and something we take great pride in at BUNDA bringing your ring back to a size that you can comfortably wear while also being secure.

For diamond or gemstone set rings that are worn daily there can be a time where one or more claws can bend, wear down or even break. This generally can happen when a ring constantly rubs against leather or in some cases metal (think of a zipper inside a handbag).
The most common case in this situation is when the claw bends slightly and the stone can appear to be loose and have a little rattle. At this stage we need to tighten the stone and check all the claws for further damage and possible re-tipping.

Pearl re-stringing and cleaning is another important service required periodically especially with larger Australian South Sea and Tahitian Pearl strands. Over time a pearl strands knotting will stretch and the pearls can appear to be loose; ie sliding along the cord.
Pearl strands can also become dull with perfume and make up residue, so we clean each pearl during the process of re-stringing.
For large pearl strands (pearls over 10mm in size) we recommend restringing (Knotted) every 3-5 years.
