Prong and tip repair
Secure stones, durable settings
Worn prongs and tips are rebuilt so your stones stay put. Every tighten and retip happens at the bench, with the piece in view.
What we look at
Worn tipsTips that have thinned from years of wear are rebuilt so they hold the stone.
Loose stonesA wiggle now is easier than a lost stone later. We check the whole setting, not just the one you noticed.
After the workThe piece is cleaned so you can see the stones sit level again.
Every time we tighten a prong or retip a setting, we are protecting the stone and the memory in the piece. That line is from the repairs hub, and it is the job.
Bring the piece in if a stone catches on fabric, sits low, or looks empty on one side. We show you the wear under the light before we quote.
Chain soldering, lengthening, or shortening lives on the necklace restringing page. This page is for settings and tips.
