Ring Repairs

Many maintenance and repair needs come under the term Ring Repairs. Other than the maintenance required on settings there is a host of other jobs we undertake. Our standard of workmanship is unequaled. We undertake repairs that other jewellers won’t or can’t do. All jewellery repair work is guaranteed for one year.

• Re-shank – The shank is the band of the ring. This wears out over time. The process is often sped up when rings are worn on the same finger. They wear against each other and usually the higher karat gold ring wears first as it it slightly softer.
• Undersetting re-build – This is beneath the gemstones. Also caused by rings being worn together on the same finger. Often it’s a result of “off the rack” rings not properly shaped to fit beside each other.
• Damaged or missing components – Sometimes parts of rings just get damaged or broken off. We can re-create perfect matches to make your ring look new again. This may be something you can claim insurance on. 

Ring Maintenance Warranty

A Ring Maintenance Warranty is exclusive to Fishers Jewellers. Many insurance companies these days insist on the insured having their diamond ring checked by a jeweller regularly so as not to lose the diamond and need to make a claim.

We are one step ahead and we provide this service absolutely free.

You don’t need an appointment, just bring your jewellery in asking for a Ring Maintenance Warranty. Depending on our workload we may need it longer than a day. Please let us know your schedule and we’ll accommodate wherever possible.

Stones Supplied & Re-Set

Occasionally you may lose a stone out of your ring, whether by a knock, worn claws, accident or other. We can colour match a replacement stone for you and repair the settings as required. This quite often can be an insurance claim.

We can provide a quote to replace for your insurance company.This is also a good time if you have been considering changing the style of setting.

Some rings we see have poor design and the stones falling out is often no surprise to us. If this is the case we will advise you accordingly. We don’t want you spending money without an improvement if the result will be the same further down the track.

Clean/Polish Jewellery

We can revive your jewellery back to it’s original dazzle with our professional ring cleaning and polishing service. Gemstones require cleaning as dirt and grease gets stuck underneath the stone causing them to look dull and lifeless. 

We have two levels of jewellery cleaning service.
Clean and Go – This is a no charge service we offer. It is a basic clean, usually we will clean your ring in our ultrasonic cleaner. This is sufficient if your ring is relatively new and still looking great but the gems and metal lack their usual sparkle. We don’t check security of stones nor do we tighten any. 
Premium Clean & Polish – We will hand polish your jewellery. This will remove scratching and make your jewellery look like new again. If there is a build up of grime behind the stones, this will be removed. All gems are checked for security and tightened if required.

Solder Charms

Don’t take the risk of fitting charms to bracelets without having the links soldered closed. We solder charms on bracelets, gold or silver.

We can supply larger jump rings if required. We also carry a small range of charms and order any as required. Great gift for grandchildren.

Re-Shank Rings

Re-shank refers to replacement of the band of the ring. Well loved ring’s bands eventually wear so thin that they become vulnerable, as well as dangerous, because they are so thin and sharp they can cut into the finger. Often wearing multiple rings on the same finger has a sandpaper effect as they wear against each other. Fear not, it is a repair we can do to successfully restore your ring as new and make it safe and comfortable to wear again. We can repeat the pattern as it used to be, whether that includes an engraving pattern on the outside or a message on the inside. If you find you can’t remove the ring from your finger we can help there too. We can painlessly cut the ring from your finger and re-size or re-shank it so that it is comfortable and safe to wear, and take off if necessary.

Some of our customers request us to also join multiple rings together as they are always worn that way. We can do that in such a way that they can be separated again if desired.

Re-Stringing Pearls etc

The last thing you need is to be on the dancefloor at a wedding and find out you should have had your pearls re-threaded, as your precious pearls scatter across the floor. Of course this horror story is a scenario nobody needs.

Pearls require re-threading from time to time as the silk gets a little tired, frayed and stretched. Moisture, sweat and perfumes are absorbed into the silk and your pearl strand needs some love and attention.

Bring them to us and we can help. If the clasp needs adjustment or replacing a full re-thread is required then also. We provide a twelve month guarantee on necklace re-threading.

Watches - Servicing, Batteries & Straps, Water Pressure Tests

We carry and fit the best quality watch batteries. While we are there we check the battery cavity and clean any battery leakage, check the condition of seals, re-lubricate or replace if required. We work with precision and care on all brands including Rado, Rolex, Omega, Tag Heuer, Seiko, Citizen etc. We can also fit new batteries in all dive watches.

We carry quality leather ZRC French watch straps as well as a range of “well priced” straps. We can replace pins and springbars and can remove links from metal bracelet watches.

Often after a battery replacement a water pressure test is also necessary to ensure your watch is still up to it’s water resistance required for your needs. A dive watch is something you rely on for self preservation. You need to trust it will function under water. We can do a water pressure test while we fit your battery. We will also check the seals, re-lubricate or replace as necessary.
