Learn about Jewelry Restoration

Some pieces carry more than just beauty—they carry stories, legacies, and generations of meaning. At Quest Fine Jewelers, we specialize in restoring antique, heirloom, and estate jewelry, treating each piece with the respect, precision, and artistry it deserves.

MORE THAN A REPAIR— A CAREFUL REVIVAL

Restoration goes beyond standard repair work. It requires a deep understanding of historical craftsmanship, period-specific styles, and the unique materials used in vintage jewelry. Our goal is not simply to fix, but to faithfully return your piece to its original splendor—without compromising its authenticity.

OUR APPROACH TO RESTORATION

Our team of four master jewelers combines traditional benchwork expertise with an eye for historical accuracy. Whether it’s a Victorian-era ring, an Art Deco brooch, or a family heirloom passed down through generations, we handle every restoration with exceptional care and attention.

Most restoration projects may involve:

    •  Prong and Tip Repairs
    •  Shank Restoration or Replacement
    •  Ring Resizing
    •  Rebuilding Damaged Settings
    •  Rhodium Plating for White Gold Restorations
    •  Cleaning and Structural Stabilization

We assess what should be preserved, what needs reinforcement, and what can be safely renewed—all while honoring the spirit and design of the original piece.

Please understand that not all pieces are candidates for restoration, especially those made with fragile or highly eroded materials. We will always offer honest guidance and provide alternative solutions when full restoration is not feasible.

COMPLIMENTARY EVALUATION & CONSULTATION

Every restoration begins with a free in-person consultation and estimate. We’ll evaluate the condition, discuss your goals, and provide our recommendations on how to best preserve and restore your jewelry.

Restoration is a detailed and often multi-phase process—we’ll walk you through it step-by-step, with full transparency on what’s possible.

PLAN YOUR VISIT

Restorations are welcomed Monday through Friday before 5PM. If you’re bringing in multiple pieces or have a particularly delicate item, we recommend scheduling an appointment to ensure dedicated time with one of our experts.

PRESERVE THE PAST WITH CONFIDENCE

Jewelry restoration is as much about preserving history as it is about revitalizing beauty. Whether your goal is to wear it again, pass it on, or simply honor a loved one’s memory, we’re here to help you do it with integrity and care.
