Early signs your stone may be at risk
If you hear a faint rattle or notice a snagging prong, your setting may already be compromised. At our Pasadena shop, we use specialized magnification to spot these micro-issues.
These signs are easiest to correct early, before a stone shifts further or falls out during daily wear.
