MOST COMMON JEWELRY REPAIRS IN BOCA RATON
Here at Devon's Diamonds & Decor, these are the most common jewelry repairs in Boca Raton: resizing rings, prong repairs, cleaning and polishing, stone replacements and chain or clasp repairs.
Ring Sizing
When resizing a ring, we are able to make rings larger or smaller to make sure you get the greatest possible fit. One method involves compressing or stretching the band (this only works in some cases). Another is by adding or subtracting the correct amount of metal to adjust the size. Sizing should be done evenly (centered), unless there are quality marks or an engraving that precludes it. No seams will be visible when you get a ring sized at Devon's Diamonds & Decor.
Prong Repair
Think about how often you use your hands. Rings go through the most wear and tear out of any other type of jewelry. When you constantly have your rings on, it can cause the prongs to wear and it creates the potential for losing a diamond or precious gemstone to increase. Something as simple as getting snagged on your sweater or bedsheets can affect the strength of a prong. One day you might notice that the stone in your ring is a bit loose or one of the prongs are broken or bent. If this happens, make sure you bring your ring in right away to be repaired to eliminate the possibility of losing your diamond or gemstone.
How prongs will be repaired depends on the extent of damage to the setting. Depending on the severity of the prong wear, they can be re-tipped by adding metal to the top of the prong or the head can also be replaced which is normally what we recommend. If your stone is loose and the prongs on the ring are in good condition, there is a chance that the prongs can simply be retightened back into place. When repaired at our jewelry store in Boca Raton, prongs will match in size, shape and dimension. The prongs will completely go over the crown of the stone, ensuring that they won’t snag on clothing.
Cleaning and Polishing
Residue from lotion or soap sticks around leaving your jewelry looking dull. Once cleaned and polished, your jewelry will look brand new again. A professional jewelry cleaning job is accomplished in three-steps: cleaning, polishing and steaming.
- Cleaning: The jewelry is placed in an ultra-sonic jewelry cleaner. Together with the cleaning solution, the ultra-sonic vibrates at a high rate, removing the tiny particles that are on the metal and the gemstones. Note: Not all gemstones can withstand the chemical cleaning solution and the vibrations of an ultra-sonic jewelry cleaner. Rubies, diamonds, and sapphires are fine but emeralds and opals should never be put in an ultra-sonic.
- Polishing: The jewelry is buffed and polished on a high speed wheel by our expert jeweler at Devon's Diamonds & Decor. After multiple steps on the polisher the ring is almost complete. All of the little scratches and dents are removed and the surface of your jewelry is restored to its original, shiny self.
- Steam cleaning: The jewelry is held under a powerful jet of steam getting rid of any last remnant of unwanted particles. The steam also brightens up the metal.
Stone Replacement
Replacing a missing stone in a piece of jewelry entails a meticulous process that requires both skill and attention to detail. The first step is to assess the piece to determine the type of stone that is needed, taking into account factors such as size, shape, and color to ensure that the replacement matches the original design. Whether you've lost a stone or one has been damaged, Devon' Diamonds & Decor can find a perfect replacement and put it in for you so the piece you get back is as good as new.
Chain or Clasp Repair
Broken chains or clasps are a common, but intricate jewelry repair. There are many different types of chains and clasps out there, and some are much easier to fix than others. At our jewelry store in Boca Raton, we replace all types of clasps, and we even replace old clasps with larger, newer ones for easier use!
