Client Journey

Snapped Band Repair

A broken ring doesn’t have to mean the loss of a cherished piece. Our ring repair service restores both the strength and beauty of your jewellery, whether it’s a sentimental heirloom or an everyday favourite. From carefully removing the setting to repairing and refinishing the band, each step is carried out with precision and care to ensure a seamless result. The finished piece is beautifully restored — ready to sparkle once again for years to come.

Consultation & Design

Every ring repair begins with a careful assessment to understand the cause and extent of the damage. In this case, the customer brought in a beautiful oval diamond solitaire with a bezel setting and a snapped band. We inspected the break under magnification to ensure there were no additional weaknesses in the metal before proceeding. Once the plan was confirmed, the diamond setting was gently removed to protect the stone during the repair process and to allow for precise restoration of the band.

Design & Mould

With the setting safely removed, our goldsmith repaired the band by realigning the break and using fine soldering techniques to restore the ring’s full strength. The join was reinforced and refined to ensure both durability and a perfect visual match to the original profile. Throughout this stage, the focus was on preserving the ring’s symmetry and maintaining the comfort and balance of the original design so that once complete, the repair would be completely invisible.

Finished Piece

After the band was fully restored, the diamond setting was carefully reattached and securely soldered back into place. The ring was then polished and finished to bring back its natural shine, blending the repaired area seamlessly into the original surface. Finally, the stone and setting were thoroughly checked to ensure the diamond was secure and the band strong and smooth. The finished result is a beautifully restored solitaire ring, ready to be worn and cherished once again.
