Why Choosing the Right Jewelry Repair Center Matters More Than You Think
June 27, 2025

Jewelry often holds a special place in our hearts. Whether it’s a cherished family heirloom, a thoughtful gift from a loved one, or a piece that marks an important milestone, these items carry emotional weight far beyond their monetary value. When something breaks, fades, or no longer fits quite right, choosing the right jewelry repair center is essential—not only to restore the piece’s appearance, but also to preserve its significance.
Types of Jewelry Repair Services You Should Know About
A high-quality jewelry repair center should offer a comprehensive list of services to meet a variety of customer needs. Common repairs include:
Ring Sizing & Resizing – Ensuring a perfect fit for comfort and security.

Stone Replacement – Replacing lost or damaged gemstones with matching stones of equal quality.

What Sets a Good Jewelry Repair Center Apart
Not all repair centers offer the same level of service. Here are a few characteristics that set the best apart:
Experience and Training

Years of hands-on experience combined with professional training ensure a repair team understands both the artistry and mechanics of fine jewelry. Jewel-Craft has been trusted by jewelers across the country for decades, with a team of GIA-trained experts and seasoned goldsmiths.
Turnaround Time
Time matters—especially when a piece is tied to an event or sentiment. A top-tier repair center provides clear timelines and sticks to them. Jewel-Craft’s Quick Repair Services help retailers meet their customers’ needs with minimal delay, offering fast yet uncompromising workmanship.
Advanced Tools and Quality Materials
Look for centers that invest in state-of-the-art equipment and use only high-quality metals and gemstones. These ensure the repair lasts and maintains the piece’s value.
Consistency and Transparency
A reliable repair center maintains open communication about costs and services from the beginning. Customers should receive estimates that include labor and material charges up front—no surprises.
Understanding the Repair Process
The best repair experiences begin with a thorough consultation and end with rigorous quality checks. This process typically includes:
Assessment & Consultation

Written Estimate

Precision Repair Work

Final Inspection & Cleaning

Every step in this process reflects a commitment to returning the piece in its best possible condition. Jewel-Craft’s process is built around accuracy, communication, and quality control.

Margaret, Engelberts
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.
Greg, Windsor Jewelers
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.
Carol Taylor, Forever Knot in Jackson, TN
First batch of jobs just came back from Jewel-Craft, and we are VERY pleased! Excellent communication, quality work, quick turnaround, reasonable prices. Everything we hoped for! Thanks Ross!

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.
Donna, Boyle Jewelers
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.
Michael, Williamsburg Jewelers
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.
