Lifetime Care Plan

Jewelry chosen for a lifetime gets lived in. It goes to work. It gardens. It holds babies and catches door frames, and comes through thousands of ordinary days.

Years from now there will be a setting worn thin, a clasp gone tired, a ring that no longer sits the way it did. What matters on that day is simple. There is somewhere to take it, and someone there who knows the piece.

That is the Lifetime Care Plan: a plan you add to your purchase, so the piece you chose always has a home to come back to.

There are five master jewelers on our own benches. The work on your piece is done by our own goldsmiths, in the building, never sent out.

It means the hands that care for your ring in twenty years belong to the same house that placed it in yours. A piece from J. David is never a stranger here.

The plan is provided by Montage Jewelry Care, a company whose whole work is care plans for fine jewelry and watches, offered through jewelers like us. Montage describes its jewelry plans as looking after the things a well-loved piece comes to need:

• Ring sizing.
• Settings and mountings that have bent, broken or worn, and a diamond or gem that needs tightening or resetting.
• A ring's foundation that has cracked or worn thin.
• Rhodium plating for white gold.
• Broken chains and bracelets, kinks and knots, earring posts and backs.
• Pearl strands that have stretched or broken.
• A diamond or gem that has chipped or cracked.

On Montage's Lifetime plan, that care reaches the center diamond or gem as well.

That is the provider's own summary. The plan you choose is a written agreement, and the agreement is what says exactly what yours includes and what it does not.

A plan deserves more than a paragraph on a screen. Ask any member of our showroom staff while you are choosing your piece, and they will go through the agreement with you, line by line, before you decide. We do not print the plan's price here; ask us, and we will tell you plainly for the piece you are choosing.

Good questions to bring:

• What the plan cares for, and what it does not.
• Whether it asks anything of you along the way.
• What it costs for the piece you are choosing.
• How long it lasts, and whether it stays with the piece if you give it to someone you love.

Bring it back to us, with your original sales receipt. Montage asks for both, so keep the receipt somewhere you will find it in ten years.

If life has taken you away from Tulsa by then, the plan is not left behind. Montage can point you to another registered provider nearer to where you are.
