Tip And Prong Repair

Learn about Tip & Prong Repair

The prongs that hold your center stone in place are under constant stress. Every time a ring catches on fabric, bumps a hard surface, or endures the ordinary friction of daily life, those prongs wear down incrementally. When a prong tip finally gives way, a stone can be gone in an instant, often without the wearer even noticing the moment it happened. Prong repair and tip retipping is one of the most important preventive services in fine jewelry care, and it is one Marshall's takes seriously. Our in-house goldsmiths inspect every prong carefully before any work begins, assess what the setting actually needs, and restore each tip precisely, without over-building in ways that can alter the look of a cherished piece. If you cannot remember the last time your prongs were checked, now is the time. Stop by and let us take a look.
