Jewelry Care & Repairs

Introduction

Jewelry is more than just an accessory; it's an investment in beauty and elegance. At Jewelry Auction House, we understand the importance of maintaining your precious pieces. This guide will walk you through common jewelry repairs, DIY maintenance tips, and when to seek professional help. Our goal is to ensure your jewelry remains as stunning as the day you acquired it.

Types of Common Jewelry Repairs

Ring Resizing

  • Why It's Needed
Over time, fingers can change size due to various factors like weight fluctuations or temperature changes. Properly sized rings ensure comfort and security.

  • Process

Our expert jewelers can resize rings by adding or removing metal, ensuring a perfect fit without compromising the design.

    Chain Repair

    • Common Issues

      Chains can break or weaken over time, especially if worn daily.

    • Repair Techniques

      We offer soldering services to mend broken links and reinforce weak areas, restoring your chain's integrity.

    Prong Repair and Stone Tightening

    • Importance

      Prongs hold gemstones in place. Over time, they can wear down, risking stone loss.

    • Our Service

      We inspect and repair prongs, ensuring your gemstones are secure. This service is crucial for high-value pieces like our GIA Certified Ruby and Fancy Yellow Diamond Eternity Band.

    Clasp Replacement

      A faulty clasp can lead to lost jewelry. It's essential for necklaces and bracelets.
