Ring Resizing:
Whether it’s a signet ring, right hand ring or Engagement Ring or wedding Ring
A ring should fit comfortably and securely. If your ring is too tight, slips off too easily, or no longer fits the way it once did, we can help you explore appropriate resizing options. Need options for arthritic fingers, we’ve got solutions for that.
We assist with ring resizing and a variety of ring repairs, including worn bands, damaged shanks, misshapen rings, and settings that need attention. Whether it's a cherished engagement ring, wedding band, or a favorite piece you wear every day, we treat each ring with care.
Our ring repair services include:
· Ring sizing up or down
· Wedding band resizing
· Engagement ring repairs
· Shank and band restoration
· Bent or misshapen ring correction
· Setting inspection and maintenance
Our team will assess your ring and discuss the available options based on its metal, design, and construction.
Diamond & Precious Stone Setting
A loose diamond or missing gemstone can be concerning, especially when it involves a piece with sentimental or financial value. Proper stone setting is essential to preserving both the beauty and security of your jewelry.
At Great American Jewelry, we help customers address loose stones, damaged settings, and missing diamonds or gemstones. Depending on the piece, repair may involve tightening a setting, resetting a stone, replacing a missing gem, or rebuilding components that have worn over time.
Stone setting services include:
- Diamond resetting and replacement
- Loose gemstone assessment
- Prong and setting repairs
- Replacement of missing accent stones
- Repair of engagement rings and anniversary bands
- Colored gemstone replacement
If you notice movement in a stone, stop wearing the piece until it can be examined. Early attention can help reduce the risk of losing a valuable diamond or gemstone.
Prong Repair & Diamond Security
The tiny metal prongs holding a diamond in place play an important role in protecting your investment. With regular wear, these prongs can become thin, worn, bent, or damaged.
Our jewelry repair service can evaluate worn prongs and recommend the appropriate repair to help secure your stones. Depending on their condition, prongs may need reinforcement, retipping, or more extensive rebuilding.
Our services include:
- Prong condition assessments
- Prong retipping and reinforcement
- Damaged setting repairs
- Diamond security checks
- Preventive maintenance for engagement rings and fine jewelry
We recommend having frequently worn diamond jewelry inspected periodically, particularly engagement rings and pieces with exposed settings. A little preventive care can make a meaningful difference.
Necklace & Chain Repair
A broken necklace doesn't have to mean the end of a favorite piece. From delicate gold chains to heavier statement necklaces, we can evaluate the damage and help determine the best way to restore your jewelry.
Whether the problem is a broken link, a damaged clasp, or a pendant that has come loose, we focus on preserving the original appearance and wearability of your piece whenever possible.
Necklace and chain services include:
- Broken chain repair
- Gold and silver chain soldering
- Clasp repair and replacement
- Damaged link repair
- Pendant attachment repair
- Necklace adjustments and restoration
Bring in your necklace for an assessment, and we'll help you understand the repair options available for your particular chain and design.
Bracelet & Bangle Repair
Bracelets experience frequent movement and contact throughout the day, which can gradually wear down links, clasps, hinges, and other connecting components.
Whether you have a delicate gold bracelet, a diamond tennis bracelet, a charm bracelet filled with memories, or a structured bangle, proper repair can help extend its life and restore comfortable wear.
Bracelet repair services include:
- Bracelet clasp repair and replacement
- Broken link repair
- Tennis bracelet inspection and repair
- Bangle hinge and closure repair
- Charm bracelet restoration
- Bracelet sizing and adjustments
We understand that a bracelet may be more than an accessory. Our goal is to help preserve the piece while addressing the issue that prevents you from enjoying it.
Earring Repair & Restoration
A missing earring post, damaged closure, loose stone, or broken hinge can make even a beautiful pair impossible to wear. Many earring problems can be addressed without replacing the entire piece.
We offer repair solutions for a variety of earring styles, including diamond studs, gold hoops, gemstone earrings, and more elaborate fine jewelry designs.
Earring repair services include:
- Post and backing replacement
- Clip-on conversion and adjustments
- Hoop and hinge repairs
- Clasp and closure repairs
- Stone setting repairs
- General earring restoration
Whether you need one earring repaired or a matching pair brought back to wearable condition, we can assess your jewelry and recommend the appropriate next steps.
Gold, Silver & Precious Metal Jewelry Repair
Fine jewelry can show signs of wear over time. Clasps weaken, links break, bands become distorted, and delicate components may need reinforcement.
We work with customers to evaluate repairs on a range of precious metal jewelry, including gold, platinum, and sterling silver, subject to the piece's construction and condition.
Metal jewelry repair services may include:
- Soldering and joining
- Broken component repair
- Band and link restoration
- Clasp replacement
- Structural repairs
- Repair of worn or damaged jewelry
Every piece is different. We consider the design, metal, and condition of your jewelry when determining which repair approach is appropriate.
Jewelry Polishing, Cleaning & Refinishing
Daily wear can gradually diminish the shine of fine jewelry. Surface scratches, accumulated residue, and changes in finish can make even a treasured piece appear dull.
Professional cleaning and refinishing can help bring back the beauty of many gold, platinum, and silver pieces. Depending on the item, service may include polishing, surface refinishing, appropriate plating, and a general condition assessment.
Jewelry care services include:
- Professional jewelry polishing
- Surface scratch reduction where appropriate
- White gold rhodium plating assessment
- Silver jewelry refinishing
- General cleaning and care guidance
- Inspection for visible wear or damage
Not every scratch can be removed completely, and polishing removes a small amount of metal. We take the condition and construction of each piece into consideration before recommending refinishing.
Gold Plating, Rhodium Plating & Jewelry Refinishing
Over time, the finish on fine jewelry can wear away, causing yellow gold to lose its rich, even appearance and white gold to develop a yellowish tint. Professional refinishing, gold plating, or rhodium plating can help restore your jewelry’s crisp, clean finish and beautiful shine.
Whether your piece needs its yellow gold finish refreshed or its white gold replated with rhodium for that bright, brilliant white appearance, Great American Jewelry can help bring back its beauty.
Jewelry refinishing services include:
- Yellow gold plating and refinishing
- Rhodium plating for white gold
- Surface polishing and scratch reduction
- Restoring a fresh, bright finish to worn jewelry
With proper care and periodic refinishing when needed, your favorite pieces can continue to look their best for years to come.
Jewelry Restoration & Family Heirlooms
Some of the most meaningful jewelry is also the oldest. An heirloom ring, a vintage brooch, or a necklace passed down through generations may need special attention to preserve its character.
At Great American Jewelry, we appreciate the importance of keeping treasured jewelry in the family. Whether a piece requires repair, restoration, or an evaluation of its condition, we can help you explore the possibilities.
Restoration services may include:
- Repair of vintage and estate jewelry
- Restoration of damaged settings
- Replacement of missing stones
- Repair of worn clasps and connections
- Refinishing of appropriate precious metal pieces
- Guidance on preserving sentimental jewelry
Some antique and delicate pieces require specialized techniques or additional precautions. We'll help determine what can be done while respecting the integrity and character of your jewelry.
