The Importance of Professional Jewelry Repair

Jewelry, especially heirlooms, requires specialized care to maintain its original luster and structural integrity. Whether it's a vintage ring that's been passed down through generations or a necklace with irreplaceable sentimental value, professional jewelry repair services are crucial. At Richard's Custom Jewelers, our team of skilled artisans meticulously restores each piece, ensuring it retains its timeless appeal. We believe that these treasures deserve the utmost care and attention, which DIY methods simply cannot provide.

Common Jewelry Repair Services

1. Prong Repair and Re-Tipping

Over time, the prongs holding your gemstones may wear out or become damaged. This can lead to loose stones or, worse, lost ones. Prong repair and re-tipping involve rebuilding the prongs to ensure they securely hold the gemstones. This is essential for maintaining both the appearance and safety of your jewelry.

2. Stone Replacement

Accidents happen, and sometimes stones get lost. Our expert craftsmen can replace missing stones with ones that match the original as closely as possible, preserving the piece's integrity and beauty.

3. Chain and Clasp Repair

Necklaces and bracelets often suffer from broken chains or faulty clasps. Our repair service includes welding broken links, replacing broken clasps, and ensuring the piece looks seamless.

4. Restoration and Cleaning

Even with regular care, jewelry can tarnish or accumulate dirt over time. Our restoration services include professional cleaning, polishing, and finishing to bring back the original shine and glamour of your heirloom pieces.
