The Mikimoto-created Tournament of Roses Rose Queen crown, restored by George Necula

Signature Case Study · Mikimoto

When failure was not an option: restoring the Rose Queen crown

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

What George does at the bench.

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.

George Necula, master jeweler, in his Newport Beach workshop

The Craftsman

The craftsman behind the work.

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

A simple, honest process.

01

Speak directly with George

No middleman. The person who does the work is the person you talk to.

02

Bring in or describe the piece

In person, or send information ahead so George understands the request.

03

Receive an honest assessment

George examines the piece and explains plainly what he sees.

04

Review the approach

You decide how to proceed with full information in front of you.

05

George completes the work

The work is done by George’s own hand, with care rather than a production line.

06

Inspect and collect

You examine the finished piece and take it home.

Contact

Speak directly with the jeweler who will handle your piece.

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.
