Protect your most cherished pieces with expert care from Vandenbergs Jewellers in Edmonton
Jewellery often carries more than just aesthetic value—it’s tied to our most meaningful moments. From wedding bands and anniversary gifts to heirlooms passed through generations, these pieces deserve to be preserved with care. But daily wear, environmental exposure, and time can take a toll on even the highest-quality jewellery.
At Vandenbergs Jewellers Edmonton, we offer expert jewellery repair services along with professional cleanings, inspections, and custom jewellery design. Whether you’re noticing something feels “off” with your favourite ring or simply want to ensure everything is secure, this guide will help you recognize when it’s time to bring your piece in for servicing.
Loose or Shifting Stones
Have you ever touched a stone in your ring or pendant and felt it move slightly? Even the tiniest bit of movement could mean the prongs holding it in place have worn down or bent over time. If left unattended, a loose gemstone can easily fall out, sometimes unnoticed until it’s too late.
Loose settings are among the most common reasons clients seek jewellery repair. At Vandenbergs, we offer precise inspections and stone tightening services to help secure your gemstones before they’re lost.
Worn-Out Clasps and Weak Chains
Clasps may seem like small components, but they’re essential to the function of your necklaces and bracelets. If your clasp isn’t fastening properly, feels flimsy, or shows visible wear, it’s time to bring it in. Likewise, worn or kinked chains can break under tension, risking the loss of the entire piece.
Our on-site services include clasp replacement, chain repair, and custom length adjustments so your jewellery fits securely and comfortably.
Tarnishing, Discolouration, and Dull Finish
Over time, exposure to air, moisture, and body oils can dull the shine of your jewellery. Sterling silver is especially prone to tarnishing, while white gold may lose its bright rhodium coating. Gold and platinum, though more durable, can still accumulate fine scratches and lose their original lustre.
We provide professional cleaning, polishing, and rhodium re-plating to restore your jewellery’s finish, allowing it to shine as brilliantly as the day you received it.
Bent Bands or Misshapen Settings
Rings that are worn every day—particularly wedding and engagement rings—can become bent or misshapen over time. This not only affects comfort and fit, but it can also compromise the strength of the setting holding your stones in place.
If your ring no longer sits properly or looks slightly off-center, bring it in for assessment. We can restore its shape and integrity, ensuring both function and beauty are preserved.
Surface Damage, Chips, and Wear
Every day wear naturally results in some scuffing or scratching, but deeper surface damage can reduce the value and appearance of your jewellery. Stones like diamonds and sapphires, while hard, can still chip with enough impact. Gold surfaces may appear dull or pitted after years of use.
Whether it’s a ring that’s seen better days or a pendant that’s lost its sparkle, our jewellery repair team can refinish, polish, or replace damaged components with care and precision.
When Repair Isn’t Enough: Custom Jewellery Design
In some cases, a piece may be too damaged to restore completely, or you may want to breathe new life into an old or broken item that holds sentimental value. That’s where our custom jewellery service comes in.
We specialize in transforming well-loved pieces into brand-new designs that reflect your personal style while preserving their original meaning. From reimagining a family diamond into a modern engagement ring to turning antique gold into a fresh pendant, the possibilities are endless.
Our custom design process is collaborative, thoughtful, and handled in-house, so you’re always part of the journey.
