> I had the best experience with Michael Gittelson. My ring needed to be sized and sautered together. I dropped it off on Monday, had it back on Wednesday. They did a beautiful job. They tightened a few loose diamonds and polished for me also. I couldn't be happier with the outcome or the price. I highly recommend Gittelson Jewelers.

## Tips for Maintaining and Caring for Fine Jewelry

Did you know that everyday fine jewelry pieces like engagement rings, wedding bands, neck chains, earrings, and bracelets should be inspected annually to ensure the durability and longevity of the pieces? Being in the fine jewelry business for almost 40 years, we have heard some of the saddest stories of engagement ring center diamonds going missing, tennis bracelets falling off wrists with defective clasps, jump rings breaking in two on neck chains, and side stones and prongs breaking right off after a number of years without inspections, cleaning, and regular maintenance. Most fine jewelry is set in gold and gold. It does wear over time, especially with everyday wear.

It's not recommended to wear your jewelry ALL the time. Here's an article about some [times NOT to wear your engagement ring](https://gittelsonjewelers.com/6-times-not-to-wear-your-engagement-ring/).

[![Jewelry repair and watch repair at Gittelson Jewelers in Minneapolis.](https://gittelsonjewelers.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/101664875-800x800-fb05e5f9-f423-4244-9be8-8a776f830e04.png)](https://gittelsonjewelers.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/101664875-800x800-fb05e5f9-f423-4244-9be8-8a776f830e04.png)

### Watch Repairs and Battery Replacements

Beyond fine jewelry, do not neglect your timepieces!  Regular battery changes and pressure sealing ensure that your watch stays on time for a long time. For automatic movements, overhauls are recommended every so often to ensure all the mechanical components are well-oiled and balanced to keep these non-battery-operated watches keeping time with ease. The turnaround time on our watch repair is very quick in comparison to competitors as all our watch repair work is done locally.

All jewelry repairs can be quoted on an estimate-first basis. That means we are happy to get you a free estimate that includes the price, scope of work, and any potential alternatives to the recommended repair to give you a full picture of the work that needs to be completed to get your jewelry or watch in tip-top shape. This is a low-pressure option for those who aren’t familiar with the repair process or for those who have a larger, more complicated jewelry repair. A lot of items can be quoted on the spot in-store at your jewelry repair or watch repair appointment. 

### Engagement Rings and Wedding Bands

At Gittelson Jewelers, we are the engagement ring and wedding band specialists. This is true at the point of sale, but also over the life of the jewelry item - whether you purchased it from us originally or not! Ring sizing, stone tipping, polish, and cleanings are all common repairs requested over the life of an engagement ring. Many people have worn their original engagement rings and wedding bands for decades! To ensure they last that long, it’s important to give them a once over by a trusted jewelry repair specialist. At Gittelson Jewelers, we have worked on and assessed thousands of jewelry items and watches over the years. We have a keen eye and understanding of what to look out for that many wouldn’t be able to spot on their own. 

Engagement rings come in all different designs and trends these days! With so many unique styles to choose from, your [jewelry repair consultant must](https://gittelsonjewelers.com/watch-jewelry-repair/) have an understanding of the style of your engagement ring and wedding band to ensure that the jewelry repair is done correctly in keeping with the style of the pieces. For example, there are different styles of prongs from standard to claw to shared. Could you put any style of prong on an engagement ring? Sure, that would do the job to repair a lost stone or tip a missing prong. But if it’s done in the wrong style it’s going to take away from the piece and clash with the aesthetic. We take the time to assess each individual piece to pick up on these nuances to ensure the best jewelry repair outcome possible.

### Necklaces and Bracelets

New gold clasps for bracelets and neck chains can cost a pretty penny! In instances where the mechanism has worn out, the only option is to replace them. There are a few different styles of clasps to choose from today, but most prefer the elongated lobster style. These are both durable and easy to use for taking your jewelry on and off yourself. Basic polishing and a rhodium dip for white gold items are the quickest and most impactful ways to bring back some shine to jewelry items that have gotten a bit dull with everyday wear! Cleaning debris out from under diamonds and gemstones as well as lightly buffing out scratches in the gold can make a huge difference in the way your special jewelry item reflects the light. An instant dopamine impacting mood-boost for sure!

Jewelry repairs are done not only for the cosmetic benefits but also to ensure their structural integrity. Think of it like how you would take care of your automobile. You have regular maintenance done such as car washes, oil changes, and tire rotations. This is akin to regular cleaning and checking of jewelry pieces by a jewelry store. But depending on how long you keep and how many miles you put on your vehicle, you have to perform other repairs and maintenance such as new tires, brakes, and shocks. Fine jewelry is on a much smaller scale, and with a lot more sparkle - but is really no different! These special items require care and attention over their lifetime in the same ways.
