Jewellery Repairs: Caring for the Pieces That Mean the Most

Jewellery is meant to be worn, loved, and lived in—but even the most beautiful pieces need care over time. Everyday wear, accidental knocks, or simply the passage of years can affect your jewellery. What many people don’t realize is just how much can be repaired, restored, and protected with expert attention.

At Jeff Walters Jewellers, repairs are a big part of what we do. From simple adjustments to detailed restorations, our goal is always the same: to keep your jewellery safe, comfortable, and looking its best—so you can enjoy it for years to come.

Ring Resizing & Comfort Adjustments

Whether a ring feels a little too snug or keeps spinning on your finger, proper sizing makes all the difference.

We can:

• Resize rings up or down

• Add sizing beads or sleeves for a better fit

• Adjust rings that have become misshapen over time

A well-fitted ring isn’t just more comfortable—it’s also more secure.

We also have hinged technology for those persons with arthritic or large knuckles.  The ring will open to fit snugly at the base of your finger so you don’t have to force it over your knuckle.

Stone Tightening & Prong Repair

Loose stones are one of the most common (and preventable) jewellery issues. Even a small snag can loosen a prong without you noticing.

Our repair services include:

• Tightening loose diamonds and gemstones

• Re-tipping or rebuilding worn prongs

• Replacing missing stones when possible

Regular inspections can catch problems early—before a stone is lost.

Chain, Clasp & Bracelet Repairs

Chains and clasps take a lot of wear and tear, especially on favourite necklaces and bracelets.

We can:

• Repair broken chains

• Replace worn or faulty clasps

• Reinforce delicate links

• Shorten or lengthen bracelets

Often, a quick repair can make a piece feel brand new again.

Jewellery Restoration & Refurbishing

Heirloom pieces and well-loved favourites sometimes need more than a simple fix. Over time, metal wears down, details soften, and finishes fade.

Our restoration services can include:

• Rebuilding worn settings

• Polishing and refinishing metal

• Rhodium plating for white gold

• Bringing older pieces back to life while preserving their character

These repairs allow you to continue wearing meaningful jewellery rather than storing it away.

Pearl & Bead Restringing

Pearls and beaded necklaces should be restrung periodically, especially if worn often. The silk or wire inside stretches and weakens over time.

We offer:

• Professional pearl restringing

• Knotting between pearls for protection

• Clasp replacement or upgrades

This helps prevent unexpected breaks and keeps strands sitting beautifully on the neck.

Cleaning, Polishing & Inspections

Sometimes the best repair is preventative care. Regular cleaning and inspections help maintain both beauty and security.

We recommend:

• Professional jewellery cleaning

• Polishing to restore shine

• Routine inspections to check prongs, settings, and clasps

It’s one of the simplest ways to protect your investment.

When Should You Bring Jewellery In?

If you notice:

• A stone that rattles or feels loose

• A ring that suddenly feels tight or spins

• A clasp that doesn’t close properly

• A piece you haven’t worn because it’s “not quite right”

It’s time to bring it in. Many repairs are quicker and more affordable than people expect—especially when issues are caught early.

We Treat Every Piece Like It Matters—Because It Does

Whether it’s a cherished heirloom, an engagement ring, or a favourite everyday piece, your jewellery deserves expert care. Our experienced team is here to assess, repair, and guide you honestly—always with your jewellery’s longevity in mind.
