How Does the Jewelry Repair Process Work?
Every repair begins in-house. We examine your piece under magnification to identify damage, wear, and structural weakness before coordinating the work with our trusted craftsmen. This ensures precision and care from the very first look.

Jewelry Repair You Can Trust
From ring sizing to antique restoration, Bradley’s Jewelers coordinates each repair with experienced craftsmen who specialize in fine jewelry work. Every piece is inspected in-store before and after service, so you know it’s handled with precision and care at every step.
Skilled Craftsmanship, Modern Techniques
Our repair partners use advanced methods like laser welding to rebuild prongs and restore metal without disturbing nearby stones. Chains are resoldered link by link, pearls are hand-knotted on silk, and worn settings are tightened to preserve both beauty and structure.
Clear Timeframes, No Guesswork
Typical turnaround for common repairs such as sizing or clasp replacement is one to two weeks. More detailed restoration work may take longer, and we always discuss timelines before starting. If we discover additional issues, we’ll call first so you stay informed and in control.
We Service All Jewelry, From Anywhere
Whether your piece came from an online retailer, a national chain, or your grandmother’s keepsake box, we’re happy to help. Some items are best restored, others redesigned—and we’ll explain your options with honesty and respect for the piece’s sentimental value.
Transparent Estimates and Honest Guidance
Repair costs depend on labor, materials, and complexity. You’ll receive an itemized estimate and full explanation of what’s needed before we proceed. Our goal is to make every recommendation clear, practical, and tailored to what your jewelry means to you.
Thorough Inspection, Every Time
Sometimes hidden wear only appears once a jeweler begins the work. When that happens, we stop immediately, review what was found, and share the options before authorizing additional work. Your trust matters more than rushing a repair.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Types of Jewelry Repair Do You Perform?
We handle ring sizing, prong work, chain repair, clasp replacement, and complete antique restoration right here at our workshop. Ring sizing changes how stress travels around your band, so we inspect the shank under magnification first to find weak points invisible to your eye. Prong retipping uses laser welding to add fresh metal without heat-damaging surrounding areas or loosening adjacent stones the way a torch would. We repair clasps that have lost spring tension, resolder chains at links that have pulled thin from years of wear, and tighten channel settings where metal has compressed over time. Pearl restringing involves hand-knotting silk cord between each pearl with French wire protecting the strand at the clasp, so if it ever breaks, you lose one pearl instead of the entire strand scattering across the floor.
How Long Does Jewelry Repair Usually Take?
Ring sizing and clasp work typically runs one to two weeks depending on our bench schedule when you bring your piece in. Extensive prong work or antique restoration stretches to three or four weeks because we won’t rush solder cure times or skip inspection steps to meet arbitrary deadlines. We give you honest timeframes up front. If we find additional problems during the work, we stop and call you immediately to discuss what we discovered before proceeding with anything beyond the original scope. Battery replacements and bracelet adjustments often happen while you wait.
