Your jewelry is more than just metal and stone; it represents milestones, memories, and significant investments. When a clasp fails or a diamond feels loose, seeking professional jewelry repair immediately is essential. Attempting DIY fixes with household tools or adhesives can lead to permanent damage, often devaluing the piece or making future professional restoration impossible.
At Solomon Gold, our approach to jewelry repair combines traditional bench techniques with modern precision technology. By understanding the structural integrity of different alloys—like 14k gold versus platinum—we ensure that every jewelry repair we perform preserves the original beauty and strength of your piece.
Common Signs You Need Jewelry Repair Services
Many owners wait until a piece breaks completely before seeking jewelry repair. However, preventative maintenance is often more cost-effective. Keep an eye out for these red flags:
- Thinning Shanks: The bottom of your ring wears down over years of use.
- Flattened Prongs: If the metal “claws” holding your stone look smooth or snag on clothing, you need a jewelry repair to prevent stone loss.
Discolored White Gold: If your ring looks yellowish, it likely needs a rhodium plating jewelry repair to restore its brilliant white finish.
