Dialog Launches Specialist Diamond Repair and Recutting Service for UK Jewellers
10th June 2026 — Diamond inventory management specialist Dialog has officially expanded its diamond repair and recutting service to retailers across the UK and Ireland. The rollout provides jewellers with direct access to Dialog’s specialist facilities in Toronto, offering a seamless way to restore value to damaged, chipped, or underperforming stock.
To streamline the process, Dialog is providing a fully managed service, handling all logistics, shipping coordination, and GIA recertification on behalf of the retailer.
The service has been launched in direct response to growing demand from jewellery retailers seeking a simpler, more commercially viable alternative to traditional, often complex, diamond recutting channels.
Unlocking Value in Existing Inventory
The primary aim of the programme is to help jewellers maximise the value of their current stock without requiring additional capital investment. The service covers a comprehensive range of diamond enhancement needs, including:
- Restoration: Repairing chipped, broken, or damaged diamonds.
- Upgrading Cut Quality: Recutting poorly proportioned stones to meet modern GIA ‘Excellent’ standards.
- Bespoke Recutting: Transforming stones across multiple shapes and specifications.
- Inscription Removal: Removing outdated or unwanted existing girdle inscriptions.
Carol Sinfield, Sales Director for Dialog UK and Ireland, highlighted the commercial benefits for retailers: “Retailers today need flexible solutions that help maximise the value of their inventory while minimising operational complexity. Our repair programme was designed to make the process straightforward and commercially viable for retailers seeking support without the challenges often associated with repair services.”
A Fully Managed Digital Process
To keep operations straightforward, retailers can submit and track recutting requests through a dedicated online portal. Dialog oversees the entire lifecycle of the diamond’s journey—from the initial secure transportation and international shipping to communication and final delivery.
By managing the GIA recertification process post-cut, Dialog ensures that the rejuvenated diamonds return to the retailer retail-ready and fully certified to current grading standards.
This expansion forms a key part of Dialog’s broader strategy to help independent jewellers optimise their stock holding, improve profit margins, and unlock hidden capital from slow-moving or damaged inventory.
