Jewelry Repairs…

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

Repairing your jewelry is not cheap that is for sure, sizing a ring can cost as much as $50.00 per size up or down. That is why it is always a good idea to shop around, the last thing that most of us need in these hard economic times is to worry about the cost of fixing your favorite chain, the average cost for a simply solider job on a 14kt yellow gold chain is around $25.00.

Here are a few things we can recommend you do:

1. Find a jewelry store that does in store repairs, this can help lower the price of the repair, no middle man if you will.

2. Remember that white gold cost more to repair than yellow gold.

3. Mall store’s will always charge more for a repairs.

4. Make sure you find out the turn around time on the repair before you leave it.

5. Never send your jewelry in the mail for repair.

6. Shop around for pricing, this is very helpful.

7. Try a store that is well established.

8. Stone replacement is another area that you should look around, if you are missing a small diamond on a piece of jewelry this could run from $30.00 and up depending on the size of the stone, clarity, and color. Make sure when you take your diamond jewelry back that the same color stone was used.

If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask.

Clarity: : All gemstone come accompanied with marks called Inclusions which are formed during the process of crystallization of the stones or are acquired at the time of polishing. Inclusions really don’t affect or diminish the beauty of a stone and in many cases, actually enhance the look of the stone.
