Ring repairs range from correcting structural damage to rebuilding worn sections and securing vulnerable settings.
When this repair may be needed
- A ring has bent or become misshapen
- A solder joint or section of the band has failed
- The shank has become thin through wear
- A setting or decorative element has become damaged
How the repair is assessed
We assess the ring as a complete structure: metal, band thickness, settings, stones, previous work and the location of any weakness. The aim is to repair the underlying problem rather than simply disguise visible damage.
What can affect the work required?
Metal type, construction, previous repairs, stone settings, wear, access to the damaged area and the finish required can all change the correct repair method. Photographs are useful for an initial assessment, but some pieces need physical inspection before a firm quotation is possible.
Care after repair
Remove rings for heavy manual work where practical, check stone settings periodically and seek assessment promptly if you notice movement, sharp edges or distortion.
Start with an assessment
If you have a piece that may need ring repair, send clear photographs and describe what has happened. We will use those details to identify the most appropriate next step.
