Signature Case Study · Mikimoto
The official Tournament of Roses Rose Queen crown, created by Mikimoto, was damaged in transit. There was no time to send it back to Tokyo or to Mikimoto in New York. George was trusted to complete an almost invisible repair to the historic icon — and did.
“You took the time necessary to complete an almost invisible repair to the historic icon.” — William Thomas, Vice President, Mikimoto (America) Co. Ltd
Read the full case studyServices
Every piece is examined before any work is recommended. These are the areas George works in — nothing listed for search that he does not actually perform.
One-of-one pieces designed and built at the bench, start to finish.
Bringing inherited and antique pieces back to wearable condition.
The difficult repairs other jewelers decline or cannot complete.
Repairs finished so the join is difficult to find.
Correcting weak, damaged, or previously mishandled work.
An honest, in-person assessment of what a piece needs.

The Craftsman
George trained in the old-world European tradition and has spent more than three decades at the bench. He values honesty over the quick sale, and clients speak with him directly — not a counter that ships the work elsewhere.
How It Works
No middleman. The person who does the work is the person you talk to.
In person, or send information ahead so George understands the request.
George examines the piece and explains plainly what he sees.
You decide how to proceed with full information in front of you.
The work is done by George’s own hand, with care rather than a production line.
You examine the finished piece and take it home.
Contact
The surest way to start is a phone call. George will tell you honestly whether your piece is something he can help with, and what the next step should be.
