Repair Jewelry That Matters to You

Custom Jewelry Repair in Gainesville

If you have a ring that no longer fits, a chain that snapped, or a family piece with a loose stone in Gainesville, you need a repair service that treats heirloom and sentimental jewelry with the care it requires. Many pieces come through families and carry memories that cannot be replaced, so shipping them out of state or leaving them at a general repair counter adds unnecessary risk. International Gold Diamond & Watch Exchange  performs custom jewelry repair for rings, chains, and fine pieces with tailored solutions based on wear patterns and material type.

The service includes sizing, rebuilding, stone setting, and structural repairs for gold, platinum, and silver jewelry. Repairs are completed in-house, so your items stay local and you can check on progress without waiting weeks for updates. The business is trusted by Gainesville-area residents who want long-term durability and careful handling for pieces they plan to keep wearing or pass down.

Bring in your jewelry for a repair consultation and find out what it will take to restore the piece.

How Jewelry Repairs Are Done in Gainesville

When you bring jewelry in for repair in Gainesville, the piece is inspected for structural damage, worn prongs, loose stones, or broken links. The metal is examined under magnification to identify cracks or weak points that could worsen over time. You receive an estimate that outlines the work needed, the materials required, and the time it will take to complete the repair before anything is done.

After you approve the repair, the work is completed using precision tools such as jeweler's saws, torches, and microscopes to ensure clean joins and secure settings. Rings are resized by cutting and adding or removing metal, then re-soldering and polishing the band to match the original finish. Chains are rebuilt by replacing broken links or clasps, and stones are reset with new prongs or bezels if the original settings are worn. The finished piece is cleaned and inspected before it is returned to you.

This service is ideal for heirloom and sentimental items common in family-owned jewelry, especially pieces that have been worn daily or stored for years without maintenance. It does not include cosmetic redesigns or complete remakes unless you request a custom fabrication. The goal is to restore the structural integrity and appearance of the piece so it can be worn safely again.
