✨ Work Near Stones

Laser's pinpoint accuracy means you can weld within 0.5mm of diamonds and gemstones without heat damage.

🔬 Microscopic Precision

Spot size as small as 0.2mm allows repair of the finest chains and delicate filigree work.

⚡ Speed

A ring sizing that takes 15 minutes with torch can be done in 2 minutes with laser.

🔧 No Filler Needed

Autogenous (fusion) welding means no solder, no color matching issues.

💎 All Materials

Gold, platinum, silver, titanium, stainless - one machine does it all.

✅ Invisible Welds

Properly done laser welds are invisible even under 10x magnification.
