Old Town Jewelers Jewelry Repair and Custom Jewelry services include, but are not limited to:

​

•Ring Sizing

 

-If a ring is too big or too small on your finger we can make it fit by

Cutting it down or shrinking it, and building it up or stretching it.

Ring sizings include cleaning, checking tightening stones, and repolishing

We size Gold, Platinum, and Silver rings.

​

-For Rings that are difficult to pass through your knuckle yet still twirl around your finger,

Soldering beads, or making a "U" inside of your ring is an option.

 

•Re-shanking Rings

 

- When your ring shank gets too thin, it's more prone to twist bend, and break, therefore

needing a new quarter, half, or full shank to be installed onto your ring. To do this we mill a

strip of the same metal as your ring and then we weld it together. Re-shanking includes cleaning, checking tightening stones, and repolishing.

 

•Repairing Broken Ring Shanks

 

-When your ring breaks along the shank and needs to be welded back together,

We fix it, depending on the type of stones set in it, we repair it by torch or by Laser Welder using

the same Karat and color solder as the color of your ring. Repairing broken ring shanks includes cleaning, checking tightening stones, and repolishing.

​

•Custom Jewelery

 

- When you decide you want a unique Jewelry piece for yourself, as a gift or to propose, we got you covered. Just walk in anytime during business hours and we can discuss your options in detail, from design ideas to types of stones and metal you want to use, and  a quote of what it will cost. 

​

- As soon as we figure out the design you're looking for and the deposit is settled the custom designing process begins.

​

- Once we have a preliminary design we will email you a realistic computer rendering of what your Jewelry piece will look like. Here you can approve or make edits. After approval, we will 3D print a wax model so you can try it on and get a feel for the dimensions of the ring. If you want to make edits, it's not too late, we can still go back in and alter the design. After approval of the wax model, we will cast it in the precious metal of your choice. Then we will set the stones, polish it up, and Voilà, your beautiful heirloom quality Jewelry piece is ready for pick up.
