4 Most common types of Jewelry Repairs at Squitti's.
Just to help you out with your repair options, and expected time, we offer the following information.
1. Broken Clasps, missing jump rings, open jump rings, watch batteries.
This type of repair, can be done in the shop in minutes. We often have the appropriate findings in the gold quality, 10, 14, or 18 Kt gold, or less expensive silver or gold plated clasps or jump rings to repair.
I personally can do these simple repairs in a few minutes, time permitting, so the jewelry does not have to be left for long, and often you can wait for the repair, as you can for watch battery replacements.
Watch batteries. Not all watches are the same, and some are more complex and some can take a while. Normally the less expensive watches are the easiest to replace batteries in. More expensive watches, with tight seals, require special tools to open, and special tools to close; some are not that simple.
2. Ring resizing and shanks.
Ring sizing comes in two directions, up or down. Normally sizing down is easier, unless the size change is great, and their are precious stones involved in the setting, that must be checked to ensure that they have not loosened due to the change. Squitti's has on contract a local diamond setter with many years of experience in this area.
Silver rings, with precious stones tend to be more difficult, as are many of the rings you buy on line. Many are imports with uncertain quality standards.
In some cases, it is better to change a quarter or half of a shank,since the shank has been worn down, and further sizing down, and more often up, renders a shank that is far to thin. You will be advised of this.
Sizing can vary from 2 hours, to 2 days to 2 weeks.
3. Re-tipping
Re-tipping diamonds and precious stones, together with a professional buffing, or cleaning renders the jewelry looking like new. Rings should be checked every few years, it only take a minutes to ensure you don't increase the risk of losing an expensive stone.
At Squitti's everything in brand new. We do not buy or sell estate jewelry. We can use stones from your other jewelry to repair your jewelry.
4. Stone replacements.
These type of repairs take the longest. Claws or the head in which the stone sits may have to be improved or changed. Stones have to be ordered to match, and sometimes small stone make take a while as shipping for one small stone is expensive.
Squitti's offers a selection of the finest precious stones available, from rubies, to sapphires to emeralds, many available in a variety of qualities.
Diamond selection again is based on diamond quality, and there are many, many options.
Repairs, come in may forms, from simple repairs to stone replacements. Thank God, we have been in the jewelry business for decades and are willing to offer our opinion on repairs.
If there is a rush for an item, please so advise us, as repair times can vary. When calling to inquire about a repair, it is best to give details of the item, and what is actually happening to it, to help us with the details.

I went into this store with the impression that it was expensive. I was right, and wrong. Not only is this store expensive, the items they are selling can be found at other stores in Sudbury for a quarter of the price.
My wife and I definitely like to shop for more expensive options when we can, but to walk into a store that is cluttered with items, priced three to four times higher than local competition and have very little staff to speak with - well, that recipe cannot last very long.
