Jewelry and Watch Repair | Braintree, MA | Grono and Christie Jewelers

Diamond and Gemstone Repair

Fine jewelry with loose, cracked, or missing stones, broken chains, or heavily tarnished metal may end up relegated to the bottom of the jewelry box and forgotten, not in wearable condition but too precious to toss. If this happened to any of your fine jewelry, bring it in to Grono and Christie Jewelers for world-class jewelry repair. Our in-house team of experienced jewelers can remove certain damage from gemstones, retip the prongs holding gemstones in place, or reset and replace loose or missing stones, helping return your beloved jewelry to an upgraded state, ready to be worn again.

Tidy Up Your Jewels

Well-loved jewelry often needs a deep yet gentle cleaning to get the dust of use out of the cracks to make it shine like new again. Depending on the piece, most jewelry can use a polish every one to three years. Rings with heavy use and durable stones, such as diamond engagement rings or wedding bands, may need to be cleaned every six months to a year. Earrings are likely to get spritzed and sprayed accidentally with hairspray or perfume that will build up surface residue and bacteria should be brought in yearly depending on use. Consider setting a standing appointment to clean your jewelry annually; the upkeep will be worth the rewards when you jewelry still looks good as new fifty years later.

Reset the Clock on your Jewelry

Fine jewelry is more versatile and customizable than generally known. Upgrading to a new engagement band but keeping the same brilliant diamond or replacing a cloudy sapphire with a clearer one are just two examples of how you can upgrade your jewelry by resetting your stones. By working with a knowledgeable jeweler and a beautiful selection of varying gemstones and settings, it's easy to enhance your fine jewelry. Modernizing old pieces, adding new details, and replacing gemstones make your old or inherited jewelry more wearable, giving you more enjoyment while maintaining what matters to you most.

Polishing and Refinishing Services

Necklaces, rings, earrings, and bracelets are worn frequently in close contact with skin and receive accidental bumps and grazes that dull the shiny finish. Antiques with a patina may look dirty instead of old from years of accumulation. Sterling silver tarnishes easily. But your fine jewelry can be made to look like new again with a simple polishing. We'll buff out scratches, clean out crevices, and give your gold, silver, diamond, and gemstone jewelry the new life it deserves with our refinishing services. Whether your fine jewelry lost its shine from years of use or decades of disuse, we can bring back the shine in your metals and gemstones to look like you bought it just yesterday.
