REPAIRS - Jewelers Guild

JEWELRY REPAIR

Jewelry is meant to be loved and worn often. When this happens, it’s natural for the piece to age and show signs of wear over time. This can range from the jewelry losing it’s original shine to needing a minor or even major repair. Regardless of the condition that your piece is in, we want to help you restore it to the fresh out of the box look!

Jewelry cleaning & polishing: up to $35

No matter how careful you are with your jewelry, it will eventually get scratched or dirty. When this happens, bring it in for a cleaning and get that eye catching shine back!

If you have cleaned your jewelry cleaned but notice that there are still blemishes, you may want to consider getting it professionaly polished. Unless you have a complex piece of jewelry, this service should cost you between $25 and up and will buff out any shallow scratches in the metal, check prongs and wear.

If your ring or bracelet is made of white gold and you notice that it is losing its white color, you may want to consider getting the rhodium re-plated. This involves additional work and valuable materials, so it typically costs $90 and up for a ring and will give your piece a lustrous white gold!

Ring Resizing: $60 - $200

We can generally resize sterling silver, platinum and karat gold rings
Having a ring that doesn’t fit properly can run the risk of falling off if too large or cutting off circulation if too small. If your ring doesn’t fit as perfectly as it once did, you may want to consider getting it re-sized.

The price of re-sizing a ring depends on a few factors: the type of metal, whether you are sizing up or down, how many sizes you are having it altered by, and how wide or intricate the ring is.

Fixing a broken chain: $30 - $230

If the chain on your favorite necklace breaks, you can fix it by getting it soldered back together . This will cost you anywhere from $40 and up depending on the type of metal and the area of the chain that needs to be soldered.

Soldering a link of a simple gold or platinum chains which will cost around $30 and $55 respectively. Something more complex, however, such as soldering a hinged joint can cost between $75 and $230.

Replacing a Clasp: $30 - $250

If you have a faulty or broken clasp, it is only a matter of time until your necklace or bracelet falls off. Prevent yourself from losing a cherished piece by getting the clasp replaced!

Depending on the style, the size, and the type of metal the clasp is made of, this can cost you between $20 and $250. To give you a better idea of what your clasp replacement might cost, a standard gold 5 mm spring ring clasp can cost $60 whereas the same style and size in platinum can cost $150.

Lobster clasps contain more metal and are therefore a little more expensive to replace. These will fall in the $90 to $250 price range depending on the size and material.

Re-setting a stone: $30 - $200

Gemstones can add color and sparkle to your jewelry, so when one falls out the piece just doesn’t feel the same. There are so many different stone shapes and setting styles, and as you can probably guess this means that there are many different prices. To give you an idea of the price that you can expect, we have provided some price ranges below:

A fancy cut that is in a prong setting will cost you between $75 and $180.
If you are remounting a channel set accent stone, it will cost between $45 and $80 for a round cut depending on the size, whereas a fancy cut will cost between $55 and $84.

Other settings include pave and flush set stones. These will cost around $30 and $80 respectively. Setting precious or semi-precious gemstones can cost even less, depending on the value of the stone and the labor needed.

Appraisals: $95

We offer appraisal services for insurance and estate purposes. Our appraisals include photographic depiction and a complete description of your piece. GIA certificates are available as well as pearl X-ray and verbal appraising.

Depending on the number and complexity volume discounts on multiple pieces are available
