REPAIRS & RESTORATION
Jewelry repair & restoration.
Ring sizing, broken chains, loose stones, worn clasps and heirloom restoration. We’ll inspect your piece and explain the work. Missing a diamond stud? We can source a match for its size, cut, color and appearance.
EXPLORE REPAIRS & RESTORATION →GEMSTONES
Gemstone sourcing.
There’s more to jewelry than diamonds. From sapphires, rubies and emeralds to something harder to find, we source gemstones across shapes, sizes and colors—with or without grading reports.
A loose stone. A replacement. The starting point for a custom piece. Tell us the gemstone you’re looking for. We’ll take it from there.
LASER & HAND ENGRAVING
Laser & hand engraving.
Initials, a meaningful date or a message only the two of you understand. Laser and hand engraving are available for rings, jewelry and other suitable items. Bring us your idea—we’ll confirm what works for the piece and material.
ASK ABOUT ENGRAVING →FULLY INSURED SHIPPING

OUR STORY
It all started as gold buyers.
Todd and Howard Katz began as gold buyers before building Katz Imports into a wholesale diamond and jewelry business, with relationships stretching from Philadelphia to New York and Antwerp.
Today, Todd, Howard and Zack bring that experience to a personal, by-appointment jewelry business on Jewelers’ Row.
The business has grown. The relationships have lasted. And yes—we still buy gold.

A specific piece, a repair, an idea you’re ready to explore—or something you’re not sure where to start with.
Book a private appointment and you’ll have our full attention.
