No matter what type of repairs or services you need, our artisans have the right mix of skills and experience to get the job done right. We also make sure we always have the best available tools and equipment on hand, so nothing can get in the way of them providing the best possible care for your most precious items.
Process Overview
The jewelry refinishing process can involve a wide variety of tasks depending on the type of item being worked on and the state that it's in. However, we always take care to follow the same general outline for each piece.
- The first step we take when refinishing any piece of jewelry is to check all of the gemstones and tighten any that need it.
- If there's engraving present, we'll clean and restore it so it looks like new.
- The last step we take is to re-polish the piece to get it back to its original appearance.
Gemstone Considerations
In addition to tightening gemstone settings, we'll also take care to protect any delicate gemstones present in your jewelry while we're working on it. Items like opals, pearls, and emeralds, just to name a few, can easily be damaged if not properly cared for, and we'll make sure that nothing we do impacts them in any way. We'll also take the necessary steps to ensure they're properly protected so they're not vulnerable to damage through the course of normal use.
Preserving Original Details
Our skilled artisans have a great deal of experience working with a wide range of fine jewelry, and that means they can restore just about any type of original detail present. This includes preserving any antiquing the piece had to begin with, recreating the original patina, and even rebuilding settings or other custom metalwork that may have been damaged over time.
No matter what your jewelry needs or how long it's been since it was professionally serviced, our team knows how to get it back to its original glory. We take great pride in offering a wide range of jewelry repair services designed to allow you to keep all of your pieces looking their best no matter how often you wear them or how long they've been with you.

My fiance' and I are not the kind of people who follow the norm. We are constantly seeking unique items for our home and even our attire. She is a professional artist and I am an historian and professional mariner having spent a good amount of time in the tall ship community. When we decided to marry we began searching for unique rings that would fit our style and personalities. In our search we discovered Makume Gane and focused our search for the best artisan of that style. We found many who made makume, but we were taken by the work that Joseph Jewelry showed on their site. I initiated a conversation with Joseph online through their custom design page. Everyone I dealt with was fantastic, understanding and highly professional. The design process went smoothly with tremendous communication throughout. When the rings arrived I was floored by their beauty and quality. Heather's engagement ring is tremendous, set with a stunning orange sapphire and two high quality diamonds. The makume gane bands are breathtaking and I cannot wait to wear mine. It can sometimes be a bit unnerving to make such high dollar, custom purchases long distance, but I would not hesitate to recommend Joseph Jewelry to anyone and I know that I will turn to them again for those special jewelry purchases in the future.
