Jewelry Repair |

For centuries, the design, manufacturing, and repair of precious metal jewelry has been a highly skilled trade. Though the tools, technology, and techniques have evolved, the fundamental aspects have remained. Our expert goldsmiths use modern tools and technology to provide customers with high quality services at the most affordable prices possible. Here are a few of the most common examples of what our team can do at Golden Anvil Jewelers: JEWELRY REPAIR Ring Sizing The human finger is not perfectly round Finger size can go up or down by a whole size in a given day Proper ring size depends on the thickness of the ring, and it’s construction Some rings require laser welding to prevent seams in the metal, and thus will cost more Rings with diamonds on the band will need extra care and labor White gold rings will require a new coat of rhodium after they are sized Price can vary greatly, please ask for an estimate and explanation At Golden Anvil Jewelers, ring sizing is the most common repair we do on a daily basis. There are a variety of different tools and technology we use to achieve the proper ring fit to your finger. Not all fingers and not all rings are created equal, and we often have to employ a different process for each case. Please come in and show us what you have and we will come up with a strategy together to ensure a comfortable and safe fit. Bracelet/Chain Repair Next to ring sizing, bracelet and chain repair is by far the most common service needed by our customers. There are many components of a bracelet/chain such as links/cord, end caps, jump rings, clasps, and safety components. As always, white gold will need a new coat of rhodium with most repairs. Our jewelers can work on virtually any type of chain or bracelet. Here are the most common repairs we do: Fix broken chain section from damage Chain lengthening/shortening Repair/replace clasps Reduce rolling/flipping Convert clasp type Increase or add to safety components Earring Repair There are many different types of earrings on the market today, and our goldsmiths are highly trained in each.
