Keezing Kreations Jewelry Repair Services
Don’t let your broken jewelry languish in some dark and dusty corner, discarded and forgotten! From routine ring, necklace and bracelet repairs, to elaborate vintage and fine jewelry restoration, our jewelers have the technical skills, expertise, experience, and cutting-edge equipment and technology required to bring your treasures back from the dark depths of your jewelry box.
The most common jewelry repairs our Keezing Kreations jewelers see are related to worn or broken parts, clasps and prongs, as well as loose or missing stones. (Top tip: to avoid the latter, it’s best to get the former fixed as soon as you spot the signs!)
Our jewelry repair services include, but are not limited to:
Stone Replacement/Resetting
Our jewelers can help source a match for many different gems, allowing you to replace any stones that might have been lost or broken in your jewelry item. We will then have them custom cut, where necessary, and then reset the stone securely. Our jewelers will also always check the integrity of all other prongs, channels, or settings on your item to prevent the loss of yet more precious jewels.
Ring Sizing
As we age, finger sizes often change. Which means that, quite often, your most precious pieces – wedding, engagement and anniversary rings for example – just don’t fit anymore, no matter how much squeezing or soaping you do! White and yellow gold, platinum and silver rings can all be resized and made to fit any finger size. We are also able to resize eternity bands in all metals, adding or removing stones where necessary.
Reshanking
That ring you love? The one you’ve worn every single day for as long as you can remember? It’s probably worn thin by now, and in danger of breaking altogether. Rings worn over long periods of time can become thin and fragile, particularly in the spot where the metal sits on the inside of the hand – known as the ring shank. A reshank is a simple procedure whereby we remove this thin piece and replace it with new, matching metal.
Restringing Pearls
Don’t let your precious pearls lose their luster! Worse – don’t lose any of those gorgeous pearls altogether! We offer pearl restringing and cleaning services designed to keep your pearls where they should be – around your neck, and not rolling around in some dark corner gathering dust, never to be seen again. Whether you bought your pearls new or they were passed down by generation, they will need to be restrung every so often to preserve their natural beauty and strength. For security and durability, it is best to restring pearl necklaces and bead jewelry at least every five years. Plus, if you want to redesign the look of your pearl jewelry while you’re at it, we can help you with a new clasp, rondels, or reimagine your pearls altogether.
Retipping/Prong Repair
This jewelry repair is one we see often! Over time the claws and prongs holding your diamonds and gemstones securely onto your rings (or other items) will become worn flat, sometimes even breaking away completely. Our jewelers will either retip the areas that are worn flat, replacing the lost material with perfectly matching metal to keep your stones safe (and your heart from breaking when that diamond goes missing!). Or we’ll replace the prong altogether with a new, strong prong that you won’t be able to tell apart from the originals.
Rhodium Plating
Gold is naturally yellow and over time a warm, yellow tint can develop in white gold jewelry. Rhodium plating restores whiteness back into a white gold piece, producing a like-new appearance.
Soldering
If you have a broken chain, a cracked ring (caused by metal fatigue in some cases), or jump rings that need closing on a bracelet, for example, our expert soldering can make your jewelry look good as new – you won’t even see the repair!
Stone Repolishing
If your gemstones look dull, and have lost that sparkle and shine you love so much, it’s time to give them some love! Over time even the sparkliest of stones can become scratched and dull. Our expert stone polisher will polish out these superficial scratches restoring your stone’s natural beauty and shine. What’s more, we can perform magic on even chipped stones, by re-cutting and restoring them to perfect condition – you’ll never notice the difference!
Jewelry Maintenance
Prevention is better than cure… Let our Keezing Kreations jewelers perform regular cleans and check-ups – every 6 months is recommended – on your most precious pieces to prevent loss of stones, breakage, lackluster looks, and heartbreak! A consultant will check all your stones, prongs, clasps etc. to see that they are still secure and in good condition, before cleaning your item to bring back its shine.
Keezing Kreations Jewelry Restoration Services
Over time, with regular wear and tear, fine and antique jewelry will more than likely require partial or complete restoration. At Keezing Kreations we are as passionate about restoring your old jewelry as we are about designing stunning new pieces.
