My jewelry and/or watch are valuable, is it safe to ship them to MyJewelryRepair.com?
Yes, MyJewelryRepair.com is the largest jewelry and watch repair company in the nation, providing repairs for over 5,000 jewelry locations nationwide. Every single one of the 500,000+ repairs we conducted last year was shipped to our facility and shipped back to the store after repair completion. However, if you would like to have insurance on your box, you will have that option for both shipping it to us and us shipping it back. Find more information about how our process works here.

How does MyJewelryRepair.com charge less than any other jeweler and offer free shipping?
Because you are going straight to the source, the repair prices are cheaper! MyJewelryRepair.com does the highest quality work in the industry but also runs the most lean operation. This has allowed us to constantly expand each year in the most efficient way possible. MyJewelryRepair.com is the only repair company to have both a facility on the West and East Coast! View more information about our pricing here.

Where is MyJewelryRepair.com located?
MyJewelryRepair.com is the only repair company to have both a facility on the West and East Coast. Our West Coast facility is located in Southern California and our East Coast facility is located in Connecticut.

Does MyJewelryRepair.com provide a warranty on the work that is performed and if so, how long is it?
Yes, MyJewelryRepair.com guarantees our workmanship 100%! If there is a defect in our workmanship, whether it is one week or 1 year old, no matter what the timeline, we will fix it at NO CHARGE! We take our workmanship very seriously. MyJewelryRepair.com is the leader in the industry when it comes to the lowest return rate due to workmanship. Currently, less than 0.5% of our jobs are returned to MyJewelryRepair.com for this reason.

How long will my repair take and when will it be returned to me?
This really depends on the type of repair that is needed and if any parts are necessary for the repair. If a piece is coming in for a simple sizing or battery replacement, we can process these types of repairs within 3 business days. But if a special design, intricate work, or watch part is needed it can take a little longer. With shipping back and forth, a regular jewelry repair will usually be out of your hands for about two weeks. Just make sure to approve your estimate as soon as you get the email so we can start work on your piece right away! For a full breakdown of how long your order could take, please visit: Standard Repair Timelines.

Will I get emails on the status of my repair?
We know you do not want to be bombarded with emails daily, so we set up an even better online tracking system. We will send you an initial email with an estimate and a link to our online tracking system. At any time you can log on to the website and see the status of your repair.

Can I call to check the status of my item? Will I speak with an actual person?

Can I send more than one item in at a time for repair?
Of course!

I live in the same area as your facility, can I just drop off my repair so I don’t have to pay for shipping?
No, MyJewelryRepair.com has the highest security in the industry and does not allow anyone to come to our facility. This is a security measure to protect and keep safe, your jewelry! We have more cameras than a casino and armed guards protecting every entrance. Please do not try and come to the facility as you would only be asked to leave. That being said, we have made sure to make shipping as easy as possible for you and it is FREE, we will pay for it!

I have heard people say their jeweler switched their stone or diamond, how do I know it is safe to send my piece to MyJewelryRepair.com and what are the chances of my stone being switched?
The chances of this happening are NEVER! MyJewelryRepair.com performs over 500,000 repairs per year and has never been accused of switching a stone. We have set up many security measures in all aspects of our process to prevent the chance of this ever occurring. When we first receive your box, it is followed closely on camera from the UPS/FedEx/USMail truck until it is opened. We open the box under HD Cameras and take HD photos of all angles of your item. Our photos are so detailed we can actually plot any inclusions on the stones. On top of this, our jewelers do not have access to stones to even make a switch. Our stones are kept in a different, highly secured area and are inventoried daily. Our work environment is the most secured and tightest security in the industry. Our dress code, metal detectors, x-ray machines and armed guards make it impossible for someone to try and get anything in or out of our secured facility. You can rest assured that your jewelry and sentimental stones are secure in our hands. For more information, please visit: Diamond Replacement Services

I need my ring sized up and have heard people say jewelers will stretch a ring in order to not use gold. Does MyJewelryRepair.com do that?
No, MyJewelryRepair.com would never risk our reputation on doing low quality work. We add the proper amount of metal needed for every ring sizing. Even if your ring is only going a ¼ size up, we will be adding metal to the ring to ensure that it comes back to you the same width and thickness as when you sent it to us! You can read more about our ring resizing services here.

Does MyJewelryRepair.com have the ability to add sizing beads on my ring?
Yes, MyJewelryRepair.com has the ability to do any jewelry repair including adding sizing beads to a ring. Typically sizing beads are added to a ring to stop the spinning of the ring on the finger, not to size the item. You can read more about our ring sizing services here.

My jewelry needs a stone replaced, can you do that?
Yes we can! If your item is a multi-stone piece we will match the missing stone as close as possible to the stones remaining on the item. If it is only a ONE stone piece, we will need as much detail as possible from you on the stone you would like replaced. If possible please include the desired shape, type of stone, cut, color, natural, synthetic, lab-created. Please also feel free to include a picture if you are not exactly sure what it is. Our team will work hard to ensure we get your item looking exactly the way you want it! For more information, please visit: Gemstone Replacement Services.

Can MyJewelryRepair.com convert my yellow gold piece to be white or my white gold piece to be yellow?
Yes, through the process of electrolysis, MyJewelryRepair.com can replate your jewelry item with either Rhodium (used for white gold plating) or a yellow gold. The plating of these will wear over time with frequent use, so we do recommend sending them in every 6-8 months for a new coating to make your piece look brand new again!

I see a lot of jewelry retailers charge a lot of money for “Rhodium”, what is that and why doesn’t MyJewelryRepair.com charge for it, I do not see it on the price list?
Rhodium is actually a precious metal that is more expensive than gold per ounce. Rhodium is applied to white gold pieces via electro plating. This enhances the jewelry piece, bringing back that shiny luster like the same day you bought it! It makes the diamonds look more brilliant and gives it that shiny white finish. MyJewelryRepair.com does use rhodium plating in our process, but we will not “up charge” our customers for this process. We want to keep the costs for your repairs as low as possible! For more information, please visit: What You Need to Know About Rhodium and White Gold
