When a ring, chain, bracelet, or pair of earrings needs attention, you want clear answers and careful work. N.J. Diamonds provides jewelry repair in Dearborn for everyday pieces, fine jewelry, and meaningful family heirlooms.

Ring Repair and Ring Sizing
Rings experience daily wear, especially around the prongs, setting, shank, and sizing area. A loose stone, worn prong, thin band, or poor fit should be checked before the problem becomes more serious.
We repair and resize many rings made from gold, platinum, and silver. The best method depends on the metal, design, stone placement, and amount of size change required. We inspect the ring first and explain what is appropriate for that specific piece.
Chain, Bracelet, and Earring Repair
A broken chain or clasp can often be repaired, but the right approach depends on the link style, thickness, metal, and previous repairs. We also work on many bracelet clasps, hinges, safety catches, earring posts, backs, and other small components.
Bring the complete piece and any loose parts with you. If a component is missing, we can discuss suitable replacement options after inspecting the jewelry.
Diamond and Gemstone Setting Repair
If a diamond or gemstone feels loose—or if a prong catches on clothing—stop wearing the piece and have it inspected. Worn prongs can allow a stone to move or fall out.
Our GIA education in diamonds and gemstones helps us evaluate the stone, setting, and surrounding metal before recommending a repair. When a stone is missing, we can help locate an appropriate replacement and discuss the setting work needed to secure it.
Repairs Completed In-Store
Your jewelry stays at our Dearborn store while it is being repaired. The owner and jeweler personally handles the repair work, so you can speak with the people responsible for evaluating and caring for your piece.
- Face-to-face evaluation before work begins
- Clear explanation of the recommended repair
- Upfront discussion of expected timing and cost
- Cleaning and polishing included with jewelry repairs
Cleaning, Polishing, and Rhodium Plating
Professional cleaning removes buildup from areas that are difficult to reach at home, while polishing can reduce light surface wear and restore shine. White-gold jewelry may also benefit from rhodium plating when its bright white finish has worn away.
Cleaning and polishing are included with our repair work. We inspect stones and settings as part of the process and will let you know if we notice wear that should be addressed.
Heirloom and Sentimental Jewelry
Older jewelry deserves a thoughtful approach. We consider the piece’s construction, condition, materials, and sentimental value before recommending repair or restoration. When a piece cannot be repaired safely—or when redesign would better suit your goals—we explain the options honestly.
If you are considering a larger transformation, learn about our custom jewelry design and heirloom redesign services. For documentation after significant work, we can also discuss jewelry appraisal services.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does jewelry repair take?
Timing depends on the condition of the piece, the type of repair, and any parts or stones required. Many common repairs can be completed quickly, and some are ready the next day. We provide an estimate after inspecting your jewelry.
Does my jewelry leave the store?
No. Jewelry repairs are completed in-store at our Dearborn location.
Can you replace a missing diamond or gemstone?
In many cases, yes. We inspect the setting, help identify an appropriate replacement stone, and explain any prong or mounting work needed to secure it.
Can every ring be resized?
Not every ring can be resized safely. The answer depends on the metal, construction, stone placement, and size change. Bring the ring in so we can evaluate it.
Do you repair watches?
No. Our repair service focuses on jewelry rather than watch repair.
