Ring Resizing and Jewelry Restoration Near Calcasieu Parish

Finding trusted jewelry repair services near Calcasieu Parish requires choosing craftspeople who understand both the technical aspects of metalwork and the sentimental value of your precious pieces. At Plus 5 Armory, we provide expert ring resizing and comprehensive jewelry restoration services that preserve both the integrity and beauty of your treasured items.

Ring resizing is a delicate process that requires understanding how different metals respond to adjustment. Our experienced craftsmen work with gold, silver, platinum, and alternative metals, ensuring each resize maintains the ring's structural integrity while achieving the perfect fit.

The resizing process begins with careful assessment of the ring's construction, metal type, and any existing damage or wear. We explain the entire process, including any limitations or considerations specific to your piece, ensuring you make informed decisions about your jewelry care.

Enlarging rings requires adding metal that matches the original composition and color. Our metalworking expertise allows us to create seamless additions that are virtually invisible once polished. For rings requiring significant enlargement, we recommend techniques that preserve the ring's proportions and strength.

Reducing ring size involves carefully removing excess material while maintaining the ring's design integrity. This process requires precision to ensure even removal and proper reshaping. Our attention to detail ensures the finished ring maintains its original beauty and comfort.

Beyond ring resizing, we offer complete jewelry restoration services for pieces that have suffered damage from wear, age, or accidents. Our restoration approach balances historical preservation with functional improvement, ensuring your jewelry remains wearable while maintaining its character.

Loose or missing stones require immediate attention to prevent further damage or loss. Our stone setting services include securing loose gems, replacing missing stones, and rebuilding damaged settings. We maintain relationships with reputable gem suppliers to source replacement stones that match your original pieces.

For antique or heirloom pieces, we take special care to use period-appropriate techniques and materials. This attention to historical accuracy ensures your restored jewelry maintains its authenticity and value.

Broken chains and damaged necklaces require skilled repair techniques to restore both function and appearance. Our soldering expertise ensures invisible repairs that maintain the jewelry's original strength and flexibility.

Common chain repairs include fixing broken links, replacing worn clasps, and adjusting length. Each repair is performed using appropriate techniques for the specific chain type, whether dealing with delicate snake chains or sturdy rope chains.

Faulty clasps compromise both security and wearability of necklaces and bracelets. We repair or replace various clasp types, from simple spring rings to complex box clasps. Our inventory includes quality replacement clasps in multiple finishes to match your existing jewelry.

Worn prongs pose a significant risk to valuable gemstones. Our prong retipping service rebuilds worn or damaged prongs using appropriate metals and techniques. This crucial maintenance prevents stone loss while maintaining the setting's original appearance.

For settings requiring complete reconstruction, we carefully document the original design before disassembly. This documentation ensures accurate recreation of complex settings while incorporating any necessary improvements for enhanced durability.

Sometimes jewelry needs modification to better suit current needs or preferences. Our custom modification services include converting pins to pendants, adjusting earring styles, and redesigning outdated pieces. These modifications preserve the jewelry's value while improving its functionality and appeal.

All repairs use quality materials that match or exceed the original specifications. Our solder selections ensure color matching and appropriate strength for each application. We maintain inventory of various gold karats, silver alloys, and other metals to match existing pieces precisely.

Our techniques prioritize longevity and durability. While some repair shops focus on quick fixes, we perform repairs that will last for generations. This approach may require additional time but ensures superior results that justify the investment.

Every repair begins with honest assessment and transparent pricing. We explain what work is necessary, what is optional, and provide realistic timeframes for completion. This communication ensures you understand the process and can make informed decisions about your jewelry care.
