When your setting begins to flatten out or bend, retipping is necessary. Our jewelers use a process that puts a new tip on the prong to securely hold your gemstones and prolong the life of your precious ring. Because of high torch temperatures used in the traditional soldering techniques we use our laser welding technique exclusively.

 

There are a few things to be aware of, though. A replacement tip is never as strong as the original cast prong because you have now added a joint. For this reason, you’ll need to keep a closer eye on that special piece. It’s a good idea to have a retipped setting checked regularly by a jewelry professional every six months or if you are concerned that it is loosening up.
