Jewelry Repair: Bringing Life Back to Your Jewelry

Jewelry is more than adornment, it’s woven with memories, symbolism, and sentimental value. That’s where jewelry repair becomes not just a service, but a restoration of character, beauty, and meaning. At Frassanito Jewelers, we understand how deeply personal your jewelry is. It might be your grandmother’s wedding band, the necklace from that unforgettable holiday, or a ring bought on a spontaneous adventure. Our goal is to bring that jewelry back to life, rebuilding structure, restoring brilliance, and reviving its story, so you can continue wearing it with confidence and reverence.

1. Initial Examination: Detecting Subtle Damage

Every repair begins with a careful, expert evaluation. Our skilled jewelers examine your piece under magnification to uncover issues often invisible to the naked eye. This attentive inspection gives us a clear roadmap for repair and prevention, helping ensure the longevity of what matters most to you. We check for:

• Loose or deteriorating prongs that might risk losing a stone;
  
• Cracked or bent shanks on rings that affect structural integrity;
  
• Clasp wear and chain weaknesses that could lead to necklace breaks;
  
• Signs of metal stress or fatigue, particularly in frequently worn pieces.

2. Transparent Consultation & Approval

Once we’ve identified the work required, we walk you through the options and explain what each entails, from ring resizing or re-tipping prongs to chain soldering, stone tightening, and cleaning. It’s a collaborative process: you’ll understand the methods, timing, and costs clearly before anything is done. Transparent communication builds trust and ensures satisfaction for everyone involved.

3. Repair Documentation & Workflow Tracking

We meticulously document your jewelry's condition and anticipated work using written notes and photography. This forms the basis for progress tracking and helps avoid misplacement or miscommunication. Just as importantly, it gives you peace of mind knowing your jewelry is in capable, organized hands.

4. Master Craftsmanship at Work

This is where your piece is lovingly rebuilt. Our artisans restore where needed:

• Soldering chains and fixing broken clasps so the piece functions like new;
  
• Retipping prongs and resetting loose stones to ensure durability and security;
  
• Resizing bands with careful temperature control and shaping;
  
• Bent link or shank adjustments to restore original alignment;
  
• Deep cleaning, polishing, and rhodium plating to bring back shine and brilliance.

5. Final Quality Review: Beauty and Function Reunited

We test and inspect thoroughly to make sure your jewelry not only looks renewed, but feels reliable, comfortable, and exquisite, ready for everyday wear or special moments. Before your jewelry returns home, our team performs a final quality check:

• Are all clasps and links functioning smoothly?
  
• Is every stone secure and properly aligned?
  
• Does the piece look polished and radiant?

6. Caring Beyond the Repair

Once your jewelry is back in your hands, our support doesn’t stop. We provide guidance on gentle cleaning methods that maintain sparkle without risking damage, as well as routine inspections, especially for engagement rings and delicate pieces like tennis bracelets, to ensure settings remain secure.

We also offer advice on proper storage to prevent scratches or wear, and tips for avoiding exposure to harsh chemicals or rough handling that could harm prongs, plating, or other settings.

Following these care recommendations helps protect your investment while keeping your jewelry beautiful, secure, and ready to shine for years to come.

Avoiding DIY Mistakes: Trust the Experts

While minor cleaning or buffer polishing might feel approachable at home, many jewelry repairs require trained hands and professional tools. Incorrect handling — like overheating a ring on a home torch or forcing a clasp — can cause permanent damage. By trusting our jewelry repair services, you ensure precision, safety, and care using industry-certified methods tailored to each material and complexity.
