If your favorite chain has popped, your wedding ring has stretched out a bit and is feeling loose, or your fine watch doesn’t have the shine it once had, you’ve come to the right place. Our watch and jewelry repair experts can repair your jewelry and make whatever piece that needs help look as good as the day you got it. You shouldn’t buy jewelry from just anywhere, and you shouldn’t get your jewelry repaired from just anywhere, either. At Henry C. Reid & Son Jewelers, we carry the latest technology so that every jewelry repair will not only be performed by an expert, but an expert that has the tools necessary to meet the standards we work towards that have set us apart from our competitors in Fairfield, Westport, New Canaan, Stamford, CT, and all throughout Connecticut since 1910.

All jewelry can be damaged by wear and tear over time, especially if it is worn often. One of the most obvious signs that may need jewelry repair is visible damage. This can include broken chains, missing stones, or loose settings. If you notice any gemstones becoming dislodged or if the prongs holding them seem bent or worn, stop wearing the piece and bring it to our team as soon as possible to avoid losing the stone altogether. We can also help with tarnished, discolored, or scratched jewelry pieces. If you have a ring or bracelet that no longer fits comfortably or is beginning to show signs of bending, we can resize or reshape it to restore its proper function. Regular inspections and jewelry repair can help you identify and address these issues early, helping your precious pieces remain in excellent condition for many years to come.

How to Care for Your Estate Jewelry

Estate jewelry holds not only monetary value but also sentimental significance, making proper care essential to preserve its beauty for many years to come To help your treasured pieces remain in excellent condition, start by storing them in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use individual soft pouches or lined jewelry boxes to help prevent scratches and tarnish. Regular cleaning is also crucial; however, avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that may damage delicate gemstones or antique settings. Instead, use a soft cloth or a gentle, non-abrasive cleaner that best suits the specific materials of your jewelry. When in doubt, consult a professional before attempting any cleaning process.
