Client Journey

Setting Replacement

A broken setting or missing stone doesn’t have to mean the end of a cherished piece. Our ring restoration service brings damaged jewellery back to life with expert craftsmanship and attention to detail. From sourcing a matching stone to fitting a new setting, each step is carried out with precision and care, ensuring the finished ring shines beautifully once again — ready to be treasured for years to come.

Consultation & Design

When this opal ring arrived at our workshop, its setting was broken and the original stone missing. We began by carefully assessing the damage and measuring the original mount to determine the correct size and shape for a replacement. A new setting was sourced to perfectly complement the ring’s design, ensuring it would match both the style and proportions of the original piece. At this stage, we also selected a beautiful opal to replace the lost stone — chosen for its colour, clarity, and play of light to restore the ring’s unique charm.

Design & Mould

With the replacement components prepared, we carefully compared the new setting and opal alongside the original ring to ensure a precise fit. Using delicate soldering techniques, the broken setting was removed and the new mount was attached seamlessly to the band. Every stage of this process required accuracy and control to maintain the integrity of the ring’s design and to achieve a strong, durable bond ready to hold the new stone securely in place.

Finished Piece

Once the new setting was in position, the opal was expertly set and aligned to capture its distinctive flashes of colour. The ring was then polished to restore its original shine, blending the repair into the existing metal so that no trace of the damage remained. The finished piece once again radiates the beauty and character that make opals so special — a treasured ring restored to its full brilliance and ready to be worn with confidence.
