Squash Lessons for Diamond Security

The pictures in today’s post come courtesy of Dr Marc Dussault, The Exponential Growth Strategist. At his recent Exponential Business Building Bootcamp, he demonstrated how a squash racquet gets broken from repeated use…

Broken Squash Racquet

You will see that on the “corners” of the racquet where it has broken, the break has been caused from repetitive damage to the same spot. In squash, as Marc explained, racquets are often broken where the same part of the racquet scrapes against the wall of the court from a well placed shot by your competitor, which forces you to retrieve the ball right up against the wall.

You are probably sitting there asking yourself what on earth does this have to do with jewellery and diamonds?

To make the connection for you – if your diamond setting is consistently damaged in the same place with repeated wear and tear, over time you run the risk of the setting becoming loose and the diamond falling out and being lost for ever…

Broken Racquet, Broken Setting = NIGHTMARE!

With a squash racquet there is no maintenance possible. When it breaks, you have to replace it.

The good news is that with your diamond jewellery it can and should be maintained regularly. At Eskae Private Jeweller, we have a service called the Refreshing Ring Rejuvenation to make sure your setting never gets loose so you never lose a diamond, pearl or precious gemstone.

We will make sure that -

• The beadwork on your ring is correct and full – which means that the diamonds or gemstones are securely held in place
• The bezel edge is safe and secure with enough metal over the diamond/gemstone.
• The setting edge is secur enough of the diamond/gemstone.
• There are NO chips, scratches, breaks or cleaves in the diamonds/gemstones.
• The claws or setting edges are all in place and are not bent out of shape.
• There is not too much wear on any of the exposed metal holding the diamond/gemstone in place.
• Your jewellery is checked for damaged or loose diamonds or gemstones.
• Your jewellery is professionally cleaned and polished so it looks like NEW again.
• ALL scratches and marks on your jewellery are removed.
• The white gold sections are re-rhodium plated to give your white gold a more brilliant lustre and hue.

The broken racquet – or your broken diamond setting – can be avoided.

At Eskae Private Jeweller we provide this service for our clients every 6 months, which is the recommended maintenance schedule for high-value jewelery. It gives us the opportunity to prevent any damage or loss to YOUR jewellery BEFORE any expensive restoration work is required.

It really is simple and easy to do – just give me a phone call or send me an email to book in your Refreshing Ring Rejuvenation so your rings are sparkling and clean just like when they were brand new!
