All jewelry can become damaged if not handled and stored properly, but rings are especially prone to damage because they are worn on the hands. Fortunately, our team at Carolina Silver & Gold offers a comprehensive range of jewelry repair services, including ring repair, to restore your pieces to like-new condition. In this article, we will go over a few examples of common ring repairs to give you an idea of the kinds of damage we are able to repair.
- Prong Repair – One common site of damage on rings is the prongs that hold the gemstones in place. If the prongs of the setting are damaged, the stone can become loose or even fall out entirely. Our team can move bent prongs back into place, and we can even replace prongs that have come off entirely to make the setting complete and functional once more.
- Gem Replacement – Another common type of ring repair is replacement of the gemstone. If any of the gems in your ring have fallen out of their settings, and you still have them, simply come to our shop to have our jeweler put them back into place. Alternatively, if you have lost the missing stones altogether, our team can source new gems to replace them.
- Resizing – A third common type of ring repair is resizing. If you have inherited a ring from someone else, you may need to get it sized up or down to fit your finger. In addition, you might find that your fingers have grown larger over the years—many women find that their fingers swell during pregnancy, for instance—in which case you might need to get old rings resized to fit you again.
