Gemstones We Often Replace
Gemstone replacement is the most variable cost of the jewelry repair process. Usually the majority of the cost will depend on the stone, depending on the type, size, and cut of the gem required for your ring or necklace. However there is still the setting of the stone (prong, invisible setting, etc.), and if the gem is rare enough the custom cutting of the stone to be applied to your piece.

- Gemstone replacement involves cleaning the piece in question beforehand -- that way we can thoroughly assess any damage that might not have met the eye initially.
- We make sure to find a gemstone replacement (if applicable) that fits the piece and matches the other stones that are already in the place, which helps us ensure that our repair work helps make your piece of jewelry look as good as new.
- Once we have the new gemstone that will replace the old one, we'll set that gemstone in place, making sure that it sits in exactly the same fashion as the old gemstone did.
- We also make sure to repair damaged prongs, beads, or any additional part of the piece in order to make certain that your gemstone replacement is ultimately secure and held in place.
- If we end up repairing a piece that features multiple or several gemstones featured in the same piece of jewelry, then it becomes an essential part of our repair process to make sure our gemstone replacement matches those pre-existing gemstones in every way possible.
- We take special considerations when selecting our gemstone replacements that will be used in our repair process. My Jewelry Repair has extensive experience when it comes to evaluating and selecting gemstones, not to mention amazing relationships within the jewelry industry that have taken decades to cultivate -- we put all of our knowledge and expertise to work for our customers, one repair at a time.
- After resetting the gemstone and/or repairing the settings, this might impact other areas of the piece of jewelry in question, so we make sure to refinish each piece of jewelry we perform gemstone replacement services for before we return it to our customers.
