Jump Ring Replacement
Jump rings are used in all kinds of jewelry, and they can serve a variety of purposes. But if you're having trouble with one or more of the jump rings in a piece, our experts can repair or replace them for you and return your piece to you in like-new condition. We work on jewelry in all styles and all types of metals, and we bring many years of experience in fine custom jewelry to every job we take on.
Process Overview
To ensure that your piece gets the best possible care and attention, we make sure to take all unique aspects of each item into account in every repair job we take on. However, any time we're repairing or replacing jump rings, there is a general outline of steps we follow to diagnose and fix the problem.
- The first thing we do for all jump ring replacement jobs is to inspect the entire piece to make sure there are no additional problem areas.
- Next, we'll close the loop tight by bringing both ends together.
- Once that's done, we use a laser to solder the loop shut permanently.
- Finally, we'll refinish and polish the piece.
All Metals and Colors
We can replace jump rings in all colors and made from any type of metal. No matter what your piece is made of or how it's finished, we'll identify the exact match and then use that to complete the repair. The result is a piece of jewelry that will look and feel exactly as it did the day you bought it.
Laser Technology
The laser technology we use to fuse the ends of a new jump ring together enables us to work with extreme precision. That means we can repair or replace jump rings no matter where they are on your piece without damaging or endangering any other elements present.
Having the ends of your jump rings soldered together helps ensure that it won't fall off unexpectedly, reducing the likelihood of loss or damage. Especially if you wear a piece frequently, it's important that all jump ring connections be secure, so as soon as you notice a possible issue, it's a good idea to bring it to us for repair or replacement.
Finishing Touches
Once we've repaired all connections and ensured the security of your piece, we'll put on the finishing touches to make your ring like new. This includes applying texture or polish as needed so that there's no apparent difference between the original and replacement pieces.

I used Joseph Jewelry for both my wife's engagement ring in 2012 and a ring reconstruction for my mother in law in 2014. On both occasions, I thought what we wanted was out of reach and couldn't be done. On my wife's engagement ring they used their technology to create a custom wedding band that turned out amazing. On the reconstruction, they put together a ring that had been destroyed by a different jeweler. We had to special order new parts, but they made a 1930's ring look like brand new. They now have a family customer for life.
