Diamond Rings Repair Shop in Albuquerque

Prong Retipping & Replacement

Worn prongs are the leading cause of lost diamonds and gemstones. If you can rock a stone side to side, or if a prong snags on fabric, bring it in immediately. Our jewelers retip or fully replace damaged prongs using laser welding, precise, clean, and virtually invisible. We recommend a free prong inspection every 6 months for rings worn daily.

Diamond & Stone Setting

A loose diamond is one bump away from being lost. Our certified stone setters handle all setting styles: prong, bezel, channel, pavé, and tension. We replace missing stones with diamonds or colored gemstones from our in-house inventory for a perfect match. Every stone we set is inspected and secured for daily wear

Chain & Bracelet Soldering

We repair broken links on all chain types, box, rope, figaro, cable, curb, and snake chains, in gold and platinum. The repair is polished to blend seamlessly. We also repair lobster clasps, spring rings, toggle clasps, and box clasps on necklaces and bracelets

Ring Head Replacement

The head of a ring is the mounting that holds the center stone. Over years of wear, heads can crack or warp. We remove the old head, solder on a matching replacement, and re-set your center stone. The result is structurally sound and nearly invisible, your ring looks as it did when new.

Rhodium Plating (White Gold Restoration)

White gold jewelry naturally yellows over time as rhodium plating wears away. Our plating service restores that bright white, mirror-like finish in under an hour. We recommend rhodium plating every 12–18 months for rings worn daily.

How much does jewelry repair cost in Albuquerque?

Ring sizing starts around $35–$75 depending on metal type. All estimates are free, bring your piece in or call (505) 884-4888 and we'll give you an honest price before any work begins.

How long does jewelry repair take?

Complex repairs, such as head replacement or custom stone setting, may take 2–5 business days. We'll always give you an accurate timeline upfront.

Can you repair jewelry I didn't buy from you?

Absolutely. We repair jewelry purchased anywhere, other local stores, national chains like Kay Jewelers, Tiffany & Co., or Zales, online retailers, estate sales, and inherited heirloom pieces. Everyone is welcome at our Albuquerque shop, regardless of where the jewelry was originally purchased.

Do you repair Native American jewelry in Albuquerque?

Yes, Crown Jewels & Coin is one of the very few jewelry stores in Albuquerque with expertise in authentic Native American jewelry repair. We restore turquoise inlay, silver stampwork, heishi settings, and bezel-set stones in Navajo, Zuni, and Santo Domingo pieces. Every piece is handled with the cultural sensitivity and material care it deserves.

What types of rings can you resize?

We resize rings in yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, platinum, and sterling silver, up or down multiple sizes. We'll advise you honestly if your ring's design limits resizing (for example, eternity bands with stones around the full circumference). Most resizings are completed same-day, and we inspect your prongs at no extra charge during any sizing service.

How do I know if my prongs need retipping?

Warning signs include: a diamond or stone that rocks slightly when pushed sideways, prongs that snag on fabric or hair, visible wear or flatness on prong tips, or a prong that looks shorter than the others. We recommend a free prong inspection every 6 months for rings worn daily. Retipping prongs before a stone is lost costs a fraction of what it costs to replace a lost stone.

Do you offer free jewelry repair estimates?

Yes. Bring any piece to our Albuquerque showroom at 3248 San Mateo Blvd NE for a free, no-obligation estimate. Walk-ins are welcome. You can also call (505) 884-4888 to describe your repair before visiting, we'll let you know what to expect before you make the trip.

Is jewelry repair covered by insurance?

Many homeowner's and renter's insurance policies cover jewelry repair if damage is caused by a covered event. Crown Jewels & Coin provides detailed receipts and written documentation to support insurance claims. We also offer jewelry appraisal services if you need a current valuation for your policy.
