Jewelry Repair and Maintenance Guide

Jewelry Repair and Maintenance Guide

Fine Jewelry has great value both monetarily and personally. To clean it and maintain it should be a routine, just like cleaning vessels. Any valuable item and article require careful repair and maintenance to keep its appearance and integrity. People are careful when it comes to jewelry. They do this by researching various methods and procedures for effectively repairing and maintaining their jewels. In this blog, we will enlighten you with a small guide to maintain & repair your jewelry.

 

Ring replacements, as well as other types of jewelry repair jobs, are crucial measures in repairing and saving the jewelry for many years to come. So, what do you know about jewelry repairs to reduce jewelry repair time and guarantee the longevity of your precious engagement ring or grandmother’s antique earrings? We’ve collected a few tips for you. 

 

Routine inspections

People often do not think to get their rings cleaned before something goes wrong, but normal wear and tear on the jewels are unavoidable. The prongs of a ring are usually the weakest component of it. They are vulnerable to being bumped or snagged on clothes, which may cause them to loosen. Replacing a diamond is much more expensive than repairing a broken prong. However, a broken prong is not necessarily noticeable to everyday ring wearers. As a result, we recommend that you have your jewelry tested at least every six months to ensure that it is in good order.

When inspecting jewels, our experts Jewelers use a skilled eye as well as magnifying tools to better locate problems that are invisible to the naked eye. This is particularly important for jewelry that is worn daily, such as a wedding ring. We search for broken prongs, loose gemstones, and a variety of other possible flaws. Since a tennis bracelet is made up of several diamonds and hinged ties, it is more vulnerable to wear than other jewelry.
 

Jewelry Cleaning

Your jewelry can last longer if it is polished and maintained daily. We’ve given some useful suggestions for caring for your prized belongings, whether it’s a pearl ring or a pair of diamond earrings.

 

We suggest soaking the diamonds in a solution of warm water, detergent, and cloudy ammonia, then brush the jewelry carefully with a gentle toothbrush to clean dirt. If your jewelry is dirty and set with hard stones such as diamonds or sapphires that you like to see glitter, one of the fastest and most efficient jewelry cleaning techniques is a little soap and water. That will do wonders for sure. We recommend doing this once or twice a week.

Jewelry Storage

Nobody’s wardrobe is going to have a velvet-lined Fort Knox. However, identifying the right storage locations for particular types of jewelry will help to prolong the life of your items and reduce the need for jewelry cleaning. When not wearing your necklace, store it in a soft compartment or jar. Jewelry may get scratched if it is crowded together. Store the same kind of jewelry together. Store routine jewelry in a different box, and occasional jewelry in a different box.

 

After Repair

The repaired region of a successful jewelry repair area has the same tone, luster, and appearance as the rest of the piece:

  • No hammering marks are visible
  • Stones are tight and secured in the setting (prongs or claws)
  • There are no visible seams from cutting and soldering, as with ring or chain fixes.

 

Despite the importance of regular jewelry care, jewelry repairs are often unavoidable. It is important to get your jewelry fixed as soon as you find a fault to avoid any damage to your piece.

If you’re searching for a more advanced jewelry repair service, you should probably go to a reliable and experienced jeweler like Finer Jewelry.

Shimon is absolutely amazing at what he does and such a pleasure to work with. We had a custom wedding band made to complement my center stone and the design is quite unique. My fiancé was very apprehensive and worried about not going with a classic wedding band but we both couldn’t be happier with how it turned out! Going to be hard not to wear this for the next few months! 😅

Just got a new watch and needed a link removed. I found this store on Google and decided to stop in and see if they could help. Shimon doesn’t typically do watches, but he didn’t hesitate to stop what he was doing to help me. He took the time out of his day to help me and wouldn’t accept any payment. You can tell he takes extreme pride in his work and he will do whatever it takes to help his customers. I will absolutely be coming back and using him in the future!

My fiancé and I cannot say enough about Shimon and Finer Custom Jewelry. I had an heirloom ring from my mom, and two bands that I wanted to use to create a very specific ring, the ring of my dreams. After a lot of research, we found Shimon. Throughout the entire process, he was incredible. From our very first meeting where we went over my vision, to the final product. I feel so lucky to have found such a caring and talented jeweler. You can tell he takes such pride in his work, as he should because it is truly flawless. I would recommend Shimon to anyone I know. We are so thankful to have him to make our forever ring so incredibly special. It exceeded all our expectations and then some.

I needed to get two rings appraised and the process was easy and convenient. Shimon was able to meet with me the same week and got me the written appraisals within 3 days. I did not need to leave the items with him as some other jewelers require. I'm very pleased with the ease of working with Shimon.

I would give Shimon at Finer Custom Jewelry 10 stars if I could! He created an entirely custom ring for my fiancé just based on one Google image photo that she provided me. Before working with Shimon, I assumed I would not be able to afford a custom ring, but I was able to choose everything for the ring and stay perfectly within my budget. It was a very personal experience to create this ring and I felt heard by Shimon the entire time. (He even texted me to congratulate me on my engagement!) And he produced the most wonderful, amazing ring that will last for a lifetime! One final note: as a woman proposing to another woman, I was nervous to be judged when purchasing a non-traditional engagement ring. Shimon made me feel SO comfortable and validated. I could not recommend his services enough.

My entire experience with Shimon was incredible start to finish. I came in with just an idea of what I wanted for an engagement ring. He took the time to explain the different options, settings and styles that would match my idea. Needless to say, the ring turned out beautifully and she loved it. Most importantly, Shimon was honest and fair. We will definitely be going back for all of our future needs.

I’ve been working with Shimon for a year. I had all my mother’s diamonds reset. He helped me recreate a ring setting that joined my mom and dads diamonds so I have them with me at all times. He repaired many pieces and restrung my mom’s pearls. He’s a true professional and an amazing person. He and his wife have created an awesome business.If you want to design your own piece or buy one, Finer Jewelry is the place to go!

I’ve been looking for a yellow diamond ring for a while now and I’m so glad I foundation Finer Jewelry!!! Shimon showed me a variety of diamonds and made sure I was in love with the specific stone and shade of the diamond. Shimon made sure to educate me on my purchase which I really appreciated because I honestly didn’t know much about diamonds before meeting with him. I could not be more obsessed with this ring, so thank you so much Shimon for helping me find my dream ring!!!

If you are looking for a jeweler in the Scottsdale/Phoenix area, look no further. As we began shopping for an engagement ring we went to a number of different jewelers in the area but no one offered the same level of customer service as Shimon at Finer Jewelry! He was so helpful and caring throughout the entire process of designing my dream ring. I get so many compliments on my ring and it’s all thanks to Finer Jewelry!!

I was gifted diamonds from my mother and both grandmother’s wedding rings and I wanted to make my own wedding ring with them. I was able to schedule an appointment the following day and began working on the ring design. They were so thorough in making sure the fit and design was just right by making 3D imaging and wax molds for you to see before the ring is actually made. The whole process took about a month from start to finish and you can’t beat the price! I’m beyond happy with what they made for me. It’s truly something special.

After sharing our diamond CCC wish list with Shimon we sat back and waited. Shimon took us seriously and carefully watched the exchanges for "our stone". He found us a nearly flawless diamond that presented 30% larger than its weight! We then asked Shimon to craft a setting that required specially cut supplemental diamonds. Shimon's relationships with diamond cutters and his goldsmith made it possible for him to deliver our dream setting with our own "hope" diamond! Shimon is personable, very fun to work with and completely transparent. He and his stones are priceless!
