Checking and Tightening
1. Our extra fee to check an tighten stones will warranty against stone loss as long as the stones are set as stated in the earlier part of our warranty.

2. When asked to check links on rivets, chains, bracelets, clasps, etc., we cannot guarantee against loss or duribilty. Many items cannot be checked without taking them apart. This will cause the item to need repair because of the disassembly. Many items that are fine today can have problems days or weeks later. We can only guarantee items we repair, not those that we visually inspect.
