Prong replacement service
The most common type of jewelry setting, prong settings consist of tiny pieces of metal that bend up and over the crystal or gemstone to keep it in place. These beautiful but delicate settings are susceptible to erosion and breaking, which dramatically increases the chance of losing a stone. Our prong rebuilding service adds metal to the site of the damaged prongs to effectively restore the original setting, ensuring your favorite piece is fit to wear for years to come!
Please fill out the form and required image details above when placing your order. We will reach out if any additional information is necessary to best complete the service.
Frequently Asked Prong Repair Questions
-
What's the difference between prong rebuilding and prong re-tipping?
If the prong is mostly intact, you’ll need prong retipping. If the prong is completely gone, you’ll need prong rebuilding.
It should be noted that some settings are near-impossible to repair without modification, and even then the integrity of the item will not be the same.

What are the signs that a ring needs a prong repair?
If the setting becomes sharper than usual or if you notice it snatches on your clothes more frequently it could be time for rebuilding or re-tipping the prongs.
