PRECISION THAT PROTECTS
Where Every Gemstone Finds Its Perfect Place
Some gemstones celebrate the beginning of a new chapter. Others have already travelled through generations, carrying the memories of the people who wore them before you. Whatever their journey, they deserve to be protected with the same care and craftsmanship that first brought them to life.
Every gemstone is unique, and so is the way it's set. We take the time to understand your jewellery, explain the options available and carry out every stage of the work with precision and care.
At Lucia Goldsmiths, we understand that you're not simply trusting us with a gemstone. You're trusting us with the moments it represents. Our goal is always the same: to preserve its beauty while giving you complete confidence to wear and enjoy it every day. That's why every piece is carefully assessed in our workshop before we recommend the most suitable stone setting or retipping solution, ensuring your jewellery remains secure without compromising its beauty or character.
Because the finest jewellery isn't meant to be tucked away. It's meant to be worn, admired and passed on, with every gemstone held securely for the moments still to come.

What is jewellery stone setting?
Jewellery stone setting is the process of carefully securing a gemstone into a piece of jewellery. A professionally set stone not only enhances its appearance but also helps protect it from becoming loose or damaged over time.

Can you use my own gemstone in a new design?
Absolutely. We regularly incorporate customers' existing diamonds and coloured gemstones into bespoke commissions and jewellery remodelling projects.
What types of stones for jewelry can be set?
We work with a wide variety of precious and semi-precious gemstones, including diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds and many other types of stones for jewelry. We'll recommend the most suitable setting based on the gemstone, its size and the design of your jewellery.
