Jewellers' Bench continues to adopt leading-edge technology in order to serve our customers better. The laser welder workstation at left is the most recent example.
It has been called "the jewelers miracle bench tool" by industry experts and offers many benefits:
 |
Can perform tricky repairs that could not be done with a torch, without destroying the piece or disassembling it. |
|
Laser welding leaves no seam lines. |
|
Excellent for platinum welding. |
|
Laser welding is considerably stronger than a solder joint. Laser weld connections are 260% stronger than solder, 43% stronger than micro-plasma welds and 95% as strong as the original alloy. |

| The Laser Welding Story |
| |
Laser Welders were introduced in 1992, but have increased in popularity due to lower prices and improved technology. One of the most important improvements is the free moving concept. A jeweller can manipulate the piece he or she is working on in front of a fixed laser. The operator has control over the laser beam size and intensity. The result is precision and flexibility. Laser welding has been used in Europe for years but just recently introduced to North America.

If you have a favourite piece of jewellery, or even a cherished keepsake, that needs repair bring it in. Jewellers' Bench will have it back in record time, good as new or better, thanks to laser technology and good old fashioned service. |

| How it works |
| |
Laser is an acronym for light amplification by the stimulated emission of radiation. The technology produces a sharply focused light beam that melts a very small area of metal and can be used to join similar or dissimilar alloys. |
The laser welder's gentle touch allows Jeweller's Bench to perform tricky repairs without fear of damaging even the most treasured family heirlooms -- with a 75% stronger bond -- and to do intricate work on traditional gold, silver, and platinum. |
