Jewelry Repair Service in Seattle & Bellevue
Jewelry repair helps keep the pieces you wear and value in good condition.
At Joseph Jewelry, we repair and restore many types of fine jewelry, from everyday rings and necklaces to older family pieces that need more detailed work. Some repairs are simple, while others involve rebuilding worn areas, replacing missing parts, or restoring a piece that has seen years of use.
Our jewelers use both traditional bench skills and repair methods such as laser welding when the work calls for it. That gives us more control when working on delicate areas, heat-sensitive gemstones, and pieces that need careful handling.
We specialize in:
• Jewelry Repairs: Ring resizing, prong rebuilding, chain repair, clasp replacement, stone tightening, and other common jewelry repairs handled with care.
• Laser Welding: A useful option for certain repairs that need precision and less heat exposure around sensitive stones or detailed metalwork.
• Heirloom Restoration: Repairing and restoring older jewelry, including worn shanks, missing stones, damaged settings, and faded details.
We also help with repairs tied to life events and long-term wear, whether that means resizing a wedding ring, restoring a family piece, or updating jewelry so it can be worn again with confidence.
With locations in Seattle and Bellevue, Joseph Jewelry offers repair and restoration services for jewelry that deserves careful, skilled work.
Antique Restoration
Older jewelry often needs a different level of care than standard repair work.
Family heirlooms and antique jewelry can have worn settings, thin metal, missing details, or older construction methods that need to be handled carefully. Our team works to preserve the original character of the piece while making the repairs needed to restore its structure and wearability.
Depending on the piece, that may include rebuilding worn areas, replacing missing parts, restoring hand-applied details, or recreating sections that can no longer support the design. We use a mix of bench work, CAD support when needed, laser welding, and hand finishing to approach these projects with as much accuracy as possible.
We specialize in:
• Rebuilding Missing or Worn Details: Recreating damaged settings, worn decorative elements, clasps, and other parts that are needed to restore the piece.
• Careful Structural Repair: Using the right repair method for delicate antique jewelry, including laser welding when it helps protect surrounding materials.
• Restoring Surface Details: Bringing back hand engraving and other design elements that give older jewelry its character.
Our goal is to help preserve the piece, keep its original character where possible, and make it strong enough to be enjoyed again.

Joseph was the answer to many, many hours spent looking at engagement rings. I don't remember how I happened across them, but I wish I had done so much sooner. When I was first perusing their online selection, I did not realize that every piece they make is custom, but don't let this intimidate you. The whole website is intuitively set up and their customer service is competent and fast. When you want to order a ring, you must create a "project" on the website, but this is very simple to do. Then all questions you have can be posted to the project's page (similar to facebook); Joseph always responded rapidly to my posts. Since I was ordering a ring that was almost identical to one on their website, I did not go through much of the customization process, but the little that I did do was a fun experience (we swapped sketches and pictures and they sent me a wax model of the ring to make sure I liked it). Joseph was efficient and friendly, showed expertise, and truly wanted to give me a ring that I would like. They also worked within my budget and did not charge for any of the customizations or the prototype they made. Don't hesitate to use them; in the end, you will have a beautiful ring and one that you had part in creating.
