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.

After searching extensively, I recently found and purchased an engagement ring for my fiance (Michelle) at Joseph Jewelry. My fiance and I had discussed rings previously, just so I could try to find out what really appealed to her without being too direct, and this one met all the criteria. It is truly perfect and seems as if it were designed specifically for us. The ring was going to be presented during a "surprise" proposal to my beloved, and the event had to be just right. I have to admit that there were several challenges which, to be quite honest, had me concerned about whether it would all come together as planned. Issues like: I was living in Virginia and my fiance in Washington; I couldn't actually travel to the shop to discuss the design; everything had to be done via phone/internet; issues came up that caused a time crunch at the last minute, etc., etc. I called and e-mailed Danny and Bonnie at the store many times, as things continued to change, and with every change they were able to adjust and even help me with other aspects of the evening so that it went off without a hitch. Needless to say, the proposal was better than either of us expected. As desert was brought to the table so were two dozen red roses. I turned to Michelle and recited a few lines, then went down on one knee and presented her with the ring as I asked her if she would do me the honor of being my wife. She said yes (several times) and then we received an applause for our efforts from the other restaurant patrons. It was truly a night we will remember forever. She was (and still is) in complete awe of the ring and now we're working on the wedding band design to match it. I can't thank the staff at Joseph Jewelry enough for, not only the design and beautiful craftsmanship of the ring, but also the patience, customer care and assistance with every other aspect of the evening. Especially, thanks to Danny and Bonnie...thank you, thank you, thank you!! I couldn't have done it without you!
