The Importance of Professional Jewelry Repair
Even the highest-quality jewelry can be affected by the passage of time. Daily wear, exposure to environmental elements, and accidental damage are all factors that may impact the longevity of your favorite pieces. Clasps can weaken, prongs can loosen, stones may become misaligned, and finishes may dull.
Choosing a professional jewelry repair store with an experienced team is crucial. Not only will this ensure your item is repaired correctly, but it also protects the craftsmanship and original design. At Barton-Clay, our bench jewelers are highly trained and equipped with the tools and knowledge to perform intricate repairs, from simple adjustments to complete restorations.
Common Jewelry Repairs We Offer
We offer a comprehensive range of jewelry repair services designed explicitly for luxury pieces. Some of the most common repairs include:
1. Ring Resizing
Whether your finger size has changed or you’ve inherited a ring that doesn’t quite fit, resizing ensures comfort and wearability. We resize gold, platinum, and silver rings with precision, preserving both the setting and the aesthetic of the piece.
2. Prong Retipping and Stone Tightening
Loose or missing prongs can put your gemstones at risk. Our jewelers carefully inspect each setting and perform gold jewelry repairs by retipping or rebuilding prongs to hold your diamonds and gemstones in place securely.
3. Chain and Clasp Repair
A broken chain doesn’t mean the end of your necklace or bracelet. We offer seamless chain soldering and clasp replacement to restore functionality and style.
4. Polishing and Rhodium Plating
Gold and platinum jewelry may lose their shine over time, while white gold may appear yellowish as its rhodium finish wears off. We offer deep cleaning, polishing, and rhodium plating to revive your jewelry’s brilliance.
5. Pearl and Bead Restringing
Strung jewelry, such as pearls, can stretch or break over time. Our restringing services ensure your strand is secure, beautifully spaced, and knotted between pearls for maximum safety and durability.
6. Watch Repairs and Battery Replacement
Our in-house specialists also service luxury timepieces, offering a range of services that includes battery replacement, strap adjustment, and more complex mechanical repairs.

When Should You Consider Jewelry Repair?

- Your ring spins on your finger or feels too tight
- You notice visible cracks, thinning, or bending in bands
- Prongs appear worn or you can wiggle the stone
- Chains kink, break, or tangle easily
- Earrings no longer sit properly on the ear
- Bracelets or necklaces no longer fasten securely.
