Jewelry Services
Sometimes, a great old piece needs a little bit of help. Maybe it has a cracked stone, or maybe the silver has developed a break. Or maybe it is just a matter of needing to resize a ring or reshape a favorite bracelet. At Turkey Mountain Traders, we have people on staff who can make simple fixes, and we have access to extremely skilled craftsmen who can return your old silver heirlooms to health and beauty. We even offer diamond services! Some of the services we can provide include:
-
Necklace Restringing
If you have a necklace that is an uncomfortable length for you, or needs more support in the back, we can restring just about any necklace to make it fit your needs (and neck). We can add a wrap to increase the length, or replace an old clasp, or remove broken and mismatched pieces.
-
Stone Replacement
It is not uncommon for old pieces to have a cracked stone or two. If the piece needs a fix, we can have the turquoise replaced as near perfectly as possible, or sealed to maintain the existing stone. And if a stone is loose in its setting, we can have it reset securely and safely.
-
Ring & Bracelet Resizing
Most old rings have been sized at one time or another, sometimes badly. Resizing to fit the owner's finger can be done cleanly without damaging the piece or its value. Bracelets can also be reshaped and resized to fit a particular wrist, so they will be comfortable to wear.
-
Earring Conversions
Earrings with post backs are of little use to people without pierced ears, so we can have those converted for your use. And clip or screwback earrings can be converted to posts or hooks for those who do have pierced ears.
-
Inlay Repairs & Replacements
Zuni inlay pieces can be prone to stone loss, but we can have the lost stones replaced and reset as good as new.
-
Other Basic Repairs
If you have a pair of earrings that were polished too aggressively, or a bracelet that has developed a crack, just give us a call. We can address most repair issues quickly and inexpensively.

GIA Graduate Gemologist Diana Anderson Begner can evaluate your diamond or gemstone jewelry, determine replacement value, order replacement stones, assist with new mountings and determine if your diamond is lab grown or earth-mined.
