Montana Sapphire & Gemstone Ring Repairs
As a Montana-based jeweler, we’re uniquely skilled in Montana sapphire ring repair. From re-setting loose sapphires to resizing sapphire engagement rings, we combine gemological expertise with artisan craftsmanship. We also repair other gemstone rings with precision and care, ensuring your piece retains its brilliance and durability.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REPAIR AND REFURBISHMENT?
Repair means fixing a single problem—like a bent prong, broken clasp, or loose stone. Refurbishment is more extensive: rebuilding worn areas, replacing missing parts, or restoring a piece that’s been through major trauma (garbage disposal adventures, vacuum tangles, even being driven over).
Our team doesn’t just patch jewelry; we bring it back to near-former glory. With backgrounds in both bench jewelry craftsmanship and design, we know when to fix, when to remake, and when to suggest an innovative solution.

Frequently Asked Questions About Jewelry Repair in Bozeman
How much does it cost to resize a ring with gemstones?
Pricing depends on gemstone type, setting style, and metal, and that price can vary based on those attributes. Gemstone rings often require additional care to protect the stones during resizing. We can readily answer this once we see the ring!
Can a broken sapphire ring be fixed?
Yes. From cracked shanks to missing stones, our jewelers can restore most sapphire rings, including delicate Montana sapphire settings.
Is it worth refurbishing old jewelry?
Absolutely. Refurbishing restores sentimental pieces to wearable condition and preserves their value—often at a fraction of replacement cost.
How long does jewelry repair take in Bozeman?
Most repairs are completed within 4-8 weeks, though timelines vary depending on the complexity of the work, parts availability, and how long our queue for jewelry repair is.

Is eco-conscious jewelry repair available in Montana?
