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.

About a year ago, my (now) fiancée needed to have a couple pieces of jewelry fixed and chose Joseph Jewelry because they were the highest rated jeweler on Yelp and happened to be the closest one to her house. They did a great job and were reasonably priced. She mentioned to me in passing (not as a hint) what beautiful, original pieces they had in the store. I made note of her comment, and when I decided to propose, I went to Joseph Jeweler because she had had such a good experience with them, really liked their jewelry, and because I had explored their website and found many lovely designs there. I went in with an initial design from the website in mind as a starting point, and with a budget I wanted to work within. Erich and the team were very respectful of both. Over a period of a few months, I worked with Erich to design the ring and select the stones. I had chosen an emerald-cut sapphire for the middle stone, and Erich found a gorgeous one, but after considering I decided that it was too light, so he found another in a deeper blue--no questions asked--that I knew my girlfriend would like better. After adding that stone to the setting, I asked about changing the design and adding two baguette diamonds to flank the sapphire and Danny happened to have two that matched and were a perfect complement to the center stone. Throughout the process, they were professional, flexible, and helpful and I had a great time working with them. In fact, as we were in the midst of designing the ring, I bought a pair of diamond and sapphire earrings for an anniversary gift that were beautiful in their own right, but that I also knew would complement the ring once I had proposed. The final ring design was striking and elegant, and my fiancée loves both pieces of jewelry and is frequently asked where they came from because they are so beautiful. I'm always happy to refer them to Danny, Erich, and the staff at Joseph Jewelry.
