Prong Checks, Resizing, and Repairs: When to Take Your Ring to a Jeweler

As the proud owner of a beautiful piece of jewelry, it's important to keep it in top condition. Whether it's an engagement ring, a cherished family heirloom, or a special gift, your jewelry deserves the best care and attention. At M.J. Miller and Co., we've been helping customers in Barrington, Illinois, maintain the integrity and beauty of their jewelry for over 55 years.

Prong Checks: Ensuring Your Gems Stay Secure

One of the most crucial maintenance tasks for any ring is a regular prong check. Over time, the tiny metal prongs that hold your precious stones in place can become worn or loose, putting your gems at risk of falling out. It's recommended to have your ring's prongs inspected by a professional jeweler at least once a year. During a prong check, our skilled technicians will carefully examine each prong, tightening or replacing any that are compromised. This simple step can give you peace of mind and help prevent the heartbreak of a lost stone.

Resizing: Finding the Perfect Fit

As our bodies change over time, so too can the fit of our rings. Whether you've gained or lost weight, or your fingers have simply shifted in size, a ring that once fit perfectly may now feel too loose or too tight. Bringing your ring to a jeweler for resizing is an easy solution. Our experts can carefully adjust the band to ensure a comfortable, secure fit, without compromising the integrity of the design. From delicate solitaires to intricate wedding sets, we have the expertise to resize a wide variety of rings.
