One of the most common type of jewelry setting, prong settings consist of tiny pieces of metal that bend up and over the crystal or gemstone to keep it in place. Constant friction between the stone and the setting gradually wears down the prongs over time, meaning that even the finest jewelry will need prong repairs at some point in its lifecycle.
Our prong re-tipping service adds metal to the top of damaged prongs to effectively restore the original setting, ensuring your favorite piece is fit to wear for years to come!
Through the years, the condition of the ring may change. It may not stay as crystal clear and smooth as that day when you first said: “I do.” Whether you work with your hands a lot or not, your ring will go through normal wear and tear.
Even if it’s not a wedding ring, any gemstone rings are susceptible to potential damage from frequent use.
But what happens when your ring is damaged? Don’t fret. Jewelers have expert repair practices that will get your ring back to its former perfection.
One common process that jewelers use is called retipping. It’s a repair process that can end up saving your ring.
