Jewelry Repairs at Everglow: Ring Sizing, Stone Tightening & Rhodium Plating
At Everglow Jewelry, we believe your jewelry should feel just as perfect years later as the day you received it. Whether it’s your custom engagement ring, an heirloom gold band, or a pair of everyday earrings, we offer expert jewelry repairs in Tampa to keep your pieces looking their best.
In this blog, we’re breaking down some of our most common repair services: ring sizing, stone tightening, and rhodium plating — and explaining what goes into each.
💍 Ring Sizing: The Perfect Fit Matters
Your ring should fit comfortably — snug but not tight, secure but not loose. Whether your fingers have changed over time or you’re gifting a surprise engagement ring, ring sizing ensures comfort and wearability.
What goes into ring sizing?
For sizing up, we carefully cut the ring at the base, insert matching metal (usually gold, silver, or platinum), and solder it to extend the band.
For sizing down, we remove a small section, reshape the band, and rejoin it seamlessly.
After resizing, we polish the ring to blend the repair and restore its finish.
We offer ring sizing for gold, platinum, silver, and custom rings, and we'll always inspect the setting to make sure it stays secure after adjustment.
💎 Stone Tightening: Protect Your Sparkle
One of the most common — and most important — jewelry repairs is tightening loose stones. Whether it's a diamond engagement ring, moissanite studs, or a custom necklace, a loose stone is a risk you don’t want to ignore.
Here’s how we tighten your stones:
We first inspect your jewelry under magnification.
Using precision tools, we gently adjust the prongs, bezel, or channel to ensure your gemstone is secure.
If the prongs are worn or broken, we may rebuild them or replace them entirely.
This repair is essential for diamond rings, lab-grown diamonds, custom jewelry, and heirloom redesigns. Our expert jewelers ensure your piece is both beautiful and secure — ready to be worn with confidence.
✨ Rhodium Plating: Restoring White Gold’s Shine
If you own white gold jewelry, you’ve probably noticed it can lose its bright, silvery luster over time. That’s where rhodium plating comes in.
What is rhodium plating?
White gold is actually slightly yellow in tone — rhodium, a rare white metal, is used to coat it for a bright white shine.
Over time, rhodium naturally wears off, especially on rings and bracelets.
We remove any surface scratches, polish your piece, and then re-plate it in rhodium for a fresh, dazzling finish.
This is especially common for white gold engagement rings, wedding bands, and stackable rings. At Everglow Jewelry, we’ll make them look brand new again.
