Jewelry Repair & Restoration: Why Expertise & Experience Matter
Broken jewelry is like having a broken heart — it can be repaired and restored if you trust the right person. A single flaw can spoil the beauty & value of your jewelry. The restoration specialists here at Buchroeders are expertly trained to repair, restore and bring back the shine into a piece you deem special with our jewelry repair services.
If your jewelry requires revival, visit our in-house repair and restoration center for a zero-obligation assessment on what we can do to bring your jewelry back to life. We provide a range of restoration services to bring life back to a family heirloom piece or an engagement ring you got many years ago and would like to see about resetting it into something totally new.
Ring Resizing
To make a ring smaller, our jeweler will cut out a piece of the band and then solder it back together utilizing our state-of-the-art laser welding soldering machine. He will then take the resized band or ring and polish it so there is zero indication that the ring has been altered. After an ultrasonic soak and high-pressure steam bath, your ring will look exactly the same, but this time, it will fit your finger.
To increase a ring's size, our jeweler will stretch the metal. This can only be done up to half a size larger. If you need it to be larger than that, he will instead cut out an extra piece of metal, solder it into place using our laser welder machine and then clean and polish the ring.
Re-Tipping Prongs
Prongs are metal supports that hold your diamond in place. Because they are so small, they can become damaged or weakened with time and wear. In a four-prong setting, a single broken prong can make it easier for the diamond to fall out of its place.
Over time, claws and settings may become worn down. This can be caused by many things, including rubbing against other jewelry or bumps and scuffs. Before we begin re-tipping your ring, we will recommend a plan based on the condition of your ring. Typically, we have two options. One; rescontruct your prongs and restabalize your setting by adding new metal if need be, or secondly; recreating and replacing your original setting entirely. Either way, our master-jeweler is able to bring your ring back to life and complete this repair 100% in house.
Buchroeders has more than 125 years of experience bringing the excitement back into your engagement ring or jewelry repair.
Shank Replacement
The shank is the band of your engagement ring, where it meets the head of the ring. With continuous wear-and-tear, even the most durable types of precious metals like Platinum can break down over time, resulting in the shank growing thin and eventually cracking or snapping entirely. We restore any type of jewelry by soldering metal to the existing shank and repairing cracks or replacing the entire shank if we judge it necessary.
Repair or Replacement Findings
Jewelry findings, often simply referred to as parts, are the components used to create jewelry such as bracelets, chains, or necklaces. For example, we may repair most broken findings as clasps or chain ends.
Chain Fix With Laser & Soldering
Chains come in all shapes and sizes, from thinner fine Italian style to big chunky chains.
Fixing broken chains when a faulty link breaks is common in our shop. No matter how shattered in pieces your necklace may be or If you think it’s too fine to be repaired, our Master Bench Jewelers will prove you otherwise and finish it with a clean polish.
