Diamond Repair and Polishing
Diamonds are the centerpieces of many types of jewelry, and they are frequently used as solitaires in engagement rings. While these stones are some of the hardest in the world, they are still susceptible to damage, especially when worn on your hand day in and day out. Fortunately, our skilled jewelers can repair just about anything, from a minor chip to a larger fracture, and we'll return your diamond to you looking just like new.
Process Overview
In order to ensure the best possible outcome for all diamond repairs, we follow the same set of general steps every time we take on a project like this. However, because every diamond is unique, we also pay careful attention to the individual details of each piece.
- The first step we take in any diamond repair job is to assess the stone for possible loss of material.
- Next, we'll resurface the damaged area by shaving away layers evenly across the entire stone to restore its original shape.
- Finally, when all evidence of damage has been eliminated, we'll re-polish the diamond so that it sparkles like new.
Types of Damage
There are several different ways diamonds can be damaged, and the type of damage your stone shows will impact how we go about repairing it. For instance, a small chip or crack may be eliminated with just a good polish, but a larger chip will require some cutting to create a new, chip-free edge.
And even if you have a larger area of damage, don't despair. Our experts can often simply recommend a different shape to cut the diamond into in order to let its brilliance shine through and eliminate the damage while preserving as much material as possible.
Styles and Cuts
Damage is not the only reason you may want your diamond reshaped. For instance, you may have inherited an older family diamond and want to update its cut to give it a more modern look. But no matter how or why you need your diamond cut, our experts are up to the task.
We can cut your diamond to any shape desired, and our new brilliant cut standard ensures that the diamond we return to you will look better than brand new. That's because the beauty of a diamond is dependent on a good cut, which allows the stone's natural brilliance to shine through. With our experts on the job, your stone will get the best possible attention and shape, no matter what type of damage it's sustained.

I seriously have not had better customer service in my life than I had with the folks at Joseph Jewelry! The entire experience when looking for that perfect engagement ring can be somewhat intimidating, especially for first time buyers. I had shopped around at a few different places before coming here, and I couldn't find anything that I liked, let alone a shop I felt comfortable going into. Every other place I went to the employees would jump on you as soon as you opened the door, and would hover around you making the entire experience fairly uncomfortable. While the folks at Joseph Jewelry obviously say hi when you walk in, and asked you if they could help with anything, they didn't stand over my fiance and I as we browsed. They polity waited for us to ask for help, and when we did they made it so we felt comfortable and not rushed in the process. Andrea was the person who initially helped us, and she was so nice, and very knowledgeable about each piece in all the cases. We looked at quite a few options, but when my finance found the ring, that was it. What I found to be different about Joseph Jewelry was that they could customize everything about the ring, and they can actually work around your budget, not just say they can unlike of some other places I had been to. Once you find the ring, it comes time to customize it and this is where Joseph Jewelry, in my opinion differs from other Jewelry stores. Finding the ring is just the beginning, it's after that where they truly shine. You sign up for an account with them, which is what you use to message back and forth with the person doing the customization, I had Usiel. Usiel was amazing, he truly embodies the meaning of customers service, and going above and beyond a customers expectations. They start with taking what you talked about with the sales associate, and create a CAD rendering of the ring. They then send you a message through the account you set up before hand with the renderings and you either approve, or reject the design. In my case I 100% approved the design, it was beautiful. However, my fiance didn't know that I had started this process and started talking about changes she would have made to the ring about 3 days into the process. When she tried the ring on initially she did so with the corresponding wedding band, which was a little thicker than the actual engagement ring. Usiel was great, didn't even question it, or push back, he just said not a problem and sent me another CAD rendering with the changes. We messaged back and forth the entire time, and he kept me up to date with everything. Words cannot truly express my how happy I am by choosing them. The ring came out gorgeous, and my finance was blown away when she saw it. We'll be 100% coming back for both our wedding bands closer to the wedding. I know there a countless jewelry store options to choose from, but if you take anything away from reading this review please go there first, I promise you, you'll be blown away by your experience there.
