How to spot wear, protect stones and arrange professional cleaning or repair in time.
If a ring feels loose, a chain link is deformed or a stone moves, stop wearing the piece until it is inspected. A small defect can become a larger structural problem.
For everyday jewelry, professional inspection, sizing, clasp and setting checks, cleaning and polishing all matter. Rhodium plating can be renewed on white gold when needed.
At our Riga workshop, repair starts with a condition assessment. Before work begins, we agree the solution, expected result, price and timing.
Signs your jewelry needs professional inspection
Timely inspection helps protect stones and prevent larger damage, especially in rings, earrings, chains and bracelets worn every day.
A moving stone or worn prongs
If a stone moves or a prong catches on fabric, stop wearing the piece until it is checked.
The clasp no longer closes securely
Clasps wear gradually. Timely repair reduces the risk of losing a chain, bracelet or earring.
Deformation or poor fit
A bent ring places uneven stress on the setting. Resizing should follow inspection of the construction and stones.

Gentle care is possible, but not every gemstone tolerates the same method. Avoid ultrasonic, harsh chemicals and abrasives without professional advice.
Can the repair price be known immediately? ＋
An exact price follows inspection because similar-looking damage can require very different work.
