Excellence In Jewelry Repair and Reconstruction
REPURPOSING
Many people have unused or inherited jewelry that is not to their personal style, whether it’s been handed down through generations or they’ve outgrown their previous taste. The jewelry is usually locked away until the temptation is to sell the item. Typically, anyone purchasing the jewelry will only use it for scrap metal despite the gemstones(s) being in perfectly good condition.
At Michael Nutter Jeweler Michael can turn your old jewelry or loose diamonds into a new design. You can use old diamonds in a new ring, upgrade your engagement ring, redesign wedding rings, convert a ring to a necklace, a necklace into a ring, and more! Whether you have a family heirloom, an old wedding ring from a divorce, or you just have the diamond or stone, Michael Nutter can help you reimagine these pieces into something you’ll love to wear.
Repurposed jewelry gives you the freedom to create an heirloom that is not just custom, but inspired, unique and something you can treasure forever.
Due to high demand and depending on the complexity, the turnaround for our redesigned/repurposed pieces is between 5 to 7 weeks. When finished we offer a free biannual aftercare service to ensure that your jewelry continues to look its best for a lifetime.

RING RESIZING
There can be many factors that require a ring to be carefully cut and resized so that it does not become permanently and uncomfortably attached, or in contrast, risk falling off the finger. Perhaps the surprise engagement ring is not an ideal fit, the wearer’s hands have become larger or slimmer over the years, medical factors have arisen such as arthritis in the knuckles, or family heirlooms and vintage rings need altering to fit their new owner/bride. Thankfully, at Michael Nutter Jeweler of Gig Harbor, we have the skills and necessary equipment in our on-site workshop to help rectify any problems.
The cost of resizing depends on how many sizes up or down the ring needs to go as well as the alloy of metal in your ring. Resizing is usually limited to 2-3 sizes in comparison to its current size as any further adjustment may compromise the ring’s strength and appearance. We recommend bringing your ring into the shop so we can measure you finger and discuss the best way to go about the alteration.

GEM And DIAMOND REPAIR
Unfortunately over time gemstones can become scratched, chipped or broken. Even diamonds which are the hardest natural material in the world are not indestructible and should still be worn cautiously. With precision and skill the Michael Nutter can repair your stones, whether it means re-polishing each flat facet or recutting the stone entirely. Restoring the vibrancy of color is important, so whether we’re repairing or replacing a damaged gemstone we can help give a fresh look and breath new life into your jewelry!
