Is custom design expensive?
As with all jewelry, the price for custom design pieces can vary greatly. The cost to create an original piece is dependent upon the materials used and many customers are pleasantly surprised at how affordable an original can be, especially in comparison to similar, manufactured pieces.
At Pav & Broome Diamond Jewelers our customers work directly with our designers and master jewelers to create a piece that is truly one of a kind and unique to their desires.

Do you offer any type of warranty on your jewelry and watches?

Do you offer any type of payment plans?
Pav & Broome Diamond Jewelers accepts all major credit cards and offers in-store credit with up to 12 months same as cash, to those who qualify.
Is chlorine harmful to my jewelry?
Yes, chlorine can eat away at the metal and damage your gold, especially white gold, because it is covered in a slightly more delicate metal called rhodium. Studies have shown that even small amounts of chlorine such as what is used in swimming pools and spas can erode the nickel alloy in white gold, causing prongs and mountings to break.
In order to protect your jewelry, you should remove it before swimming or cleaning. Many household chemicals contain ammonia or “chlorinated” bleach, are harmful to precious metals and gemstones, and can leave chlorine deposits on your jewelry. Washing your jewelry will not necessarily remove these deposits and some soap can even leave your fine jewelry dull.
