Witness the Transformation
Before
After Adding A Contour Band
Elevate the story of your jewelry by transforming what you already cherish into a custom contour band — a beautiful, practical, and sustainable solution that breathes new life into your old pieces.
Why choose a contour band?
Seamless harmony: A custom contour band is sculpted to nest perfectly against your engagement ring, enhancing its silhouette without masking the central stone. The result is a cohesive, tailor-made look that appears as if the set was made together.
Comfort and stability: Beyond aesthetics, a contour band stabilizes your ring on your finger. By preventing rotation and reducing pressure points, it keeps your engagement ring centered and comfortable for all-day wear — especially helpful for active hands or slender fingers.
Meaningful reuse: We can melt down the gold and reset the diamonds from your old jewelry, preserving the sentimental value and materials while eliminating waste. Your treasured elements are reborn into a modern, wearable design with an emotional continuity that new metals and stones can’t replicate.
Cost-conscious luxury: Using existing gold and diamonds can offset the cost of a custom band, letting you invest in craftsmanship and design rather than raw materials. It’s an elegant way to maximize value while achieving a bespoke result.
Expert craftsmanship: At Stark Jewelers, master goldsmith Larry Stark personally oversees each conversion, ensuring every contour band is balanced, durable, and exquisitely finished to complement your ring’s profile and your personal style.
How it works (simple, collaborative process):
Consultation: Bring your ring and the pieces you’d like to repurpose. We’ll discuss profile, metal color, and whether you prefer a flush, scalloped, or fully contoured fit.
Assessment: We evaluate the gold and diamonds for quality and quantity, then propose a design and cost estimate that reflects using your materials.
Creation: Your metals are refined, stones are carefully reset, and the contour band is hand-formed to cradle your ring perfectly.
Final fitting: We ensure comfort, stability, and the seamless aesthetic you envisioned.
Transform sentimental materials into everyday luxury. A contour band is more than an accessory — it’s a thoughtful upgrade that honors the past, enhances the present, and makes your ring more comfortable and secure every time you wear it.

FAQs | Custom Jewelry & Warranty in Sacramento
General Warranty & The Stark Promise
-
Yes, absolutely. Every bespoke creation designed, crafted, or serviced in our studio is backed by our Lifetime Craftsmanship Guarantee. We view a custom commission as the beginning of a lifelong relationship, and we stand entirely behind the structural integrity of our work.
-
Our guarantee covers any manufacturing or structural defects in the metalwork and settings of your jewelry. If your piece experiences a fault due to a crafting flaw, we will repair or replace it at no cost to you. It also includes Complimentary Lifetime Cleaning, Polishing & Inspection, which covers professional cleaning, polishing, and comprehensive prong and setting inspections to ensure the structural integrity of the piece.
-
Our craftsmanship warranty does not cover:
Normal Wear and Tear: Gradual thinning of metal, worn prongs over time of daily wear, or scratching, chipping, fracturing of the gemstone itself once it is in your care.
Accidental Damage or Trauma: Physical impact (e.g., dropping the piece, crushing a band, catching a prong on a hard surface) or exposure to harsh household chemicals.
Loss or Theft: The warranty does not cover the loss of the jewelry piece or the loss of a major center stone.
Third-Party Alterations: Any work performed by a jeweler outside of Stark Jewelers immediately voids the warranty.
-
High-end, bespoke jewelry is engineered with incredibly precise tolerances. When a piece is resized or altered, the metal must be heated and manipulated.
Outside jewelers may use incompatible metal alloys or lower-carat solders, creating micro-structural weak points that didn't exist when the piece left our studio.
Altering the band changes the structural tension holding your diamonds and gemstones. If an outside jeweler resizes a ring without meticulously retightening every single accent stone, those stones will become dislodged.
To maintain our strict standards of excellence and protect your investment, we require that all alterations, resizings, and repairs be performed exclusively by our master jewelers.
-
We recommend bringing your Stark Jewelers pieces into our studio every six to twelve months for a complimentary professional cleaning and safety inspection. Our master jewelers will inspect the prongs, settings, and stones to ensure everything remains perfectly secure.
-
We take full responsibility for the masterful setting of your gemstones at the time of manufacturing, meaning they are structurally secure when they leave our studio. However, our warranty does not cover the natural degradation, scratching, chipping, or fracturing of the gemstone itself caused by everyday wear or external forces.
Because gemstones are natural materials, they have inherent geological properties:
Even a diamond, the hardest natural substance, can chip or cleave if struck at a precise angle against a hard surface.
Softer or more porous gemstones (like emeralds, opals, and tanzanites) can naturally dull, scratch, or erode over time due to contact with everyday surfaces, cosmetics, and household chemicals.
-
Because the physical degradation, accidental fracturing, or theft of a gemstone is not covered by a craftsmanship warranty, we strongly advise acquiring dedicated jewelry insurance. This ensures your financial investment is fully protected against accidental damage, catastrophic loss, or theft.
-
Yes. The Stark Promise applies to any piece designed, crafted, or serviced in our studio. When we perform a repair or alteration on an existing piece of jewelry, we stand behind the specific work we performed. If a setting or repair we executed fails due to our craftsmanship, we will correct it immediately at no charge.
