Laser micro-welding technology has created exciting opportunities for us to enhance our repair, manufacturing, and restoration services to you.
The laser welder uses amplified light to actually weld the metal, creating a connection that is 260% stronger than a traditional soldered joint and which is 95% as strong as the original metal.
And because less and a more concentrated heat is created by the laser than in traditional soldering methods, there is much less chance of damage to heat sensitive stones. In fact, many repairs can be done without removing the stones, which decreases the chances of loss or damage.
The laser is also very versatile, creating the ability to weld a wide variety of metals from platinum, to gold, to silver, and even base metal. It also allows a finer level of detail not previously attainable with traditional bench methods.
We use the laser welder for most work, although there are still instances where traditional methods will be a better choice. Either way, you can be assured of high quality work with little risk to your jewelry or gemstones.
