While jewelry repair comes in handy for fixing small issues like a broken clasp, jewelers offer many more services. A jewelry store can handle a range of repairs and services, like upgrades, to make any change you want. Consider some of the most popular services offered below.

What You Can Do With Jewelry Repair

1.  Diamond Upgrades

A diamond upgrade involves replacing the center diamond on a wedding ring with something different. This is an excellent gift idea for a milestone anniversary or special occasion. The upgrade might include investing in a higher-quality cut and clarity, changing the gemstone type, or even purchasing a larger stone.

2. Restyling Old Pieces

Restyling can transform a beloved, older piece into something new and beautiful. This is an ideal option for those pieces that have beautiful stones with an outdated band or setting. Your jeweler can remove the stones and turn them into a brand new piece that you are excited to wear. For example, a diamond can be taken from an old old ring and turned into an elegant pendant.

3. Prong Replacement & Retipping

The prongs are responsible for keeping your precious gems in place. They tend to experience the most wear and can get bent or cracked over time. Your prongs can be retipped, a process where they are straightened and built back up. They can also be replaced altogether. You’ll need this service if the stone is loose, if you notice any prongs missing, or if the prongs no longer hang over the stone properly, or if they look paper thin. It’s recommended to have your prongs inspected every 6-12 months to make sure everything is secure. Your prongs hold the most expensive part of your ring, which makes this one of the most important services to keep up on.
