Prong Repair

$40+

Professional prong repair and prong renewal services restore worn, damaged, bent, broken, or weakened prongs that help secure gemstones within jewelry settings. Prongs play a critical role in protecting diamonds and gemstones from accidental loss, making regular inspection and maintenance an important part of jewelry care. Over time, normal wear can gradually reduce prong thickness and strength. Daily contact with surfaces, repeated impacts, and years of wear may contribute to weakened or damaged prongs. If left unaddressed, compromised prongs can increase the risk of loose stones or gemstone loss. Prong repair may involve reinforcing existing prongs, while prong renewal may involve rebuilding or replacing worn components to restore proper gemstone security. Each piece is evaluated individually based on gemstone type, setting style, metal condition, and overall structural integrity. Prong repair and renewal services are commonly performed on engagement rings, wedding bands, diamond jewelry, gemstone rings, earrings, pendants, and heirloom jewelry to help maintain security, appearance, and long-term wearability.
