Jewel-Craft Can Help with Quick Repairs and Alterations

As the holiday season approaches, the surge in customer demand will bring both excitement and challenges. From engagement rings to meaningful gifts like bracelets and necklaces, shoppers are ready to find something perfect for their loved ones. But with high demand comes an increase in last-minute alterations, repairs and resizing requests. To help jewelers keep pace and meet their customers’ needs in a timely manner, Jewel-Craft offers specialized support in the form of quick, quality repairs and alterations.

 

Here’s how Jewel-Craft can help your jewelry business thrive during the holiday rush, ensuring every piece fits perfectly and every customer leaves with a smile.

High Demand for Holiday Jewelry Alterations

During the holiday season, you may face heightened requests for last-minute modifications. The most common needs include ring resizing, bracelet or necklace length adjustments, clasp repairs and other small but essential fixes that ensure jewelry fits just right. 

 

These alterations, while often straightforward, demand precision and skill to uphold the piece’s integrity and aesthetic. And as these small repairs add up, jewelers often find themselves juggling to fulfill every request within a tight timeline. 

 

Another common request during the holidays is custom engraving. Engraving with initials, special dates or sentimental holiday messages makes the perfect jewelry gift extra meaningful.Through the use of advanced laser technology Jewel-Craft is able to offer clean, detailed engravings.

 

This is where Jewel-Craft can step in as a trusted partner, providing expert alteration and custom engraving services to handle the overflow and keep your operations running smoothly.

I am a goldsmith but do not have all of the tools and time to do my own custom work, so I work directly with Jewel Craft to make it easy for me and perfect for my clients. If I need a shank that is 2.35mm wide and provide my own diamonds, Jewel Craft follows all of my design details and makes the ring 2.35mm wide and sets the diamonds to perfection.

We have been working with Jewel Craft for over 20 years and I continue to use them because they are reliable. It’s like having my own 30,000 sq. foot shop, that’s how easy they are to work with. Expectations are always met and but most importantly, they are met in a timely matter.

Jewel Craft makes it easy. I have goldsmiths on staff but when they are on vacation or we have overflow, I can count on Jewel Craft to get our repairs done so we don’t miss a beat. I also use them for custom design jobs due to their high level of technology and efficiency.

I just wanted to take a minute to express “Much Thanks” to the team of people that take care of me on a daily basis. Alyssa, Stephanie, and Lisa are always on top of things for me. For the last couple of weeks, after I told them that I’m preparing to go on my first vacation in over a year, I’ve noticed that they’ve been working very hard to meet (and usually beat) my deadlines to help ensure that I can vacation worry-free about my jewelry repairs. That means so much to me.

We LOVE Jewel Craft. Their customer service and quality of work is why we have been using Jewel Craft for over 15 years. We use them for repairs as well as custom design and they really do make dreams come true for our customers.

I received my most recent repair work this morning and wanted to reach out before time and the season get away from me. I've been in the jewelry business for nearly 25 years and I've seen "the good, the bad and the ugly" come out of the repair shop. You and your staff have given me an opportunity to compete for repairs with quality service I can promote with confidence. Thank you so very much.
