Understanding Jewelry Repair: What to Expect When You Bring Your Jewelry In

At Diamovida, we get it—your jewelry isn't just an accessory; it's a cherished piece of your life's story. Whether it's that engagement ring from a romantic proposal in front of Calgary's Peace Bridge, or a family heirloom handed down from generations, these pieces hold sentimental value far beyond their sparkle. So, when they need repair, you want to know they're in good hands. Let's dive into the essentials of jewellery repair tailored for our valued clients in Calgary.

Why Jewelry Repair is Essential

Jewellery is designed to last, but life has a way of leaving its mark. From wearing your pieces during events like the Calgary Stampede to the daily rigors of life in the city, regular maintenance is the key to preserving the integrity and beauty of your favourite pieces, from resizing rings to replacing lost stones. At Diamovida in Calgary, we've seen it all—broken clasps, snapped chains, and worn prongs—and we know precisely how to restore these pieces to their original splendor. Imagine ignoring a loose stone or a bent prong—like overlooking a warning light in your car, this could lead to bigger problems. Timely repairs ensure your jewellery stays as stunning and wearable as the day you first fell in love with it.

  • Quote and Timeline Estimation

    After the inspection, we provide you with a precise quote and timeline for the repair. You might wonder, "How long does jewellery repair take?"

What to Ask Your Jeweler Before Repair

When you trust Diamovida with your jewellery, we welcome your questions. These questions help you make informed decisions, ensuring your precious pieces are in the best possible hands. Here are a few to consider:

  • What kind of protection is offered?

    What are the repair options for my jewellery?

    How will you ensure that the original look is maintained?

    Do you offer a warranty on the repair?

Factors That Affect Repair Costs

Several factors influence the cost of jewellery repair:

  • Material Costs

    Repairs that require additional materials, like gold or platinum, may be more expensive.

  • Complexity of the Repair

    Simple maintenance, such as replacing a clasp, is usually less costly than more intricate tasks like stone resetting.

  • Labor and Expertise

    We believe in fair pricing that reflects the skill and experience of our Calgary jewellers. Quality workmanship is an investment in the longevity of your jewellery.
