If a ring is too tight, too loose or no longer fits comfortably, Adriana can assess whether it can be safely resized. The approach depends on the metal, construction, stones and design of the ring.
Engagement rings, wedding bands and other fine jewellery can often be adjusted while preserving the original look and structure. For more detail, see the ring sizing and resizing guide.
Professional cleaning can remove buildup that ordinary at-home cleaning may miss and restore brightness to gold, silver, diamonds and other jewellery. Adriana can also inspect the piece for worn prongs, loose stones, weakened clasps or other developing problems.
For white gold jewellery, rhodium plating can restore the bright white finish that gradually wears with regular use.
Worn or damaged prongs can allow a diamond or gemstone to loosen or fall out. Adriana can inspect the setting, repair or rebuild damaged prongs and secure loose stones. If a stone has already been lost, she can discuss replacement options.
Broken necklaces, bracelet clasps, links and other damaged components can also be assessed and repaired when practical.
Older jewellery often needs a different approach than a newer mass-produced piece. Adriana can assess heirloom and sentimental jewellery for repair, restoration or redesign while considering the original materials, construction and meaning of the piece.
If repairing the original piece is not the best option, existing gold, gemstones or other elements can sometimes be incorporated into a new custom design.
Adriana's private studio is located in North Ajax near Westney Road and Rossland Road, making it convenient for clients throughout Durham Region, including Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa, Pickering, Brooklin and Bowmanville.
Your piece is assessed directly by an experienced goldsmith, giving you an opportunity to discuss the repair, understand the recommendation and ask questions before moving ahead.
