Jewelry is more than just an accessory—it’s an investment, a sentimental piece, and often, a treasured heirloom. Over time, daily wear, accidents, and environmental factors can take a toll on your favorite pieces. At Village Jewelers, we specialize in resizing, repairing, and restoring jewelry to ensure it remains as beautiful as the day you got it. Here’s everything you need to know about keeping your jewelry pristine.
Resizing: Ensuring the Perfect Fit
Whether your ring is too tight or too loose, resizing ensures comfort and security. Here’s what you should know:
- When to Resize: If your ring feels too snug or slips off easily, it’s time for an adjustment.
- The Resizing Process: Our expert jewelers carefully cut the band, adjust it to the right size, and seamlessly solder it back together.
- Considerations: Not all rings can be resized, especially those with eternity bands or delicate designs. Our specialists can help find alternative solutions.
Repairing: Restoring Beauty & Functionality
Jewelry can break or become damaged, but that doesn’t mean it’s the end of the road. Common repairs include:
- Prong & Setting Repairs: Loose or broken prongs can lead to lost gemstones. We ensure your stones are secure.
- Chain & Clasp Fixes: Necklaces and bracelets with broken clasps or links can be repaired for a flawless finish.
- Stone Replacement: Lost a diamond or gemstone? We can source and set a perfect match for your piece.
Restoring: Bringing Heirlooms Back to Life
Antique and heirloom jewelry often carries sentimental and historical value. Restoring these pieces allows you to continue their legacy. Our restoration services include:
- Deep Cleaning & Polishing: Removing years of tarnish and buildup to bring back the original shine.
- Replating & Refinishing: White gold, silver, and platinum pieces can lose their luster. Replating with rhodium or gold can restore their brilliance.
- Recreating Missing Elements: If a piece has missing details, we can replicate and replace them with precision craftsmanship.
Preventative Care: Tips to Keep Your Jewelry Looking New
While professional services can restore and repair your jewelry, regular care can help prevent damage:
- Remove Jewelry During Activities: Avoid wearing rings and bracelets when working with your hands or using harsh chemicals.
- Store Properly: Keep pieces in a soft-lined jewelry box and separate delicate items to prevent scratching.
- Regular Inspections: Visit Village Jewelers for periodic check-ups to catch potential issues early.
