A broken clasp, worn prong or snapped chain does not always mean the end of a favorite piece. Many repairs are simple, affordable and fast when done by an experienced jeweler.
Common Repairs Jewelers Handle In-House
- Ring sizing and reshanking
- Prong retipping and stone tightening
- Chain solder and clasp replacement
- Pearl and bead restringing
- Watch battery replacement and band adjustment
When Repair Makes Sense
If the piece has sentimental value, is made from high-quality metal or features a genuine gemstone, repair is usually the better option. A quick solder or prong tip costs far less than replacing the entire item, and it preserves the history attached to it.
When Replacement May Be Better
Costume jewelry with glued stones, heavily plated base metals or irreparable damage may not be worth the labor. In those cases, a local jeweler can help you find or design a replacement that honors the original style.
