Jewelry repair near me: rings, necklaces and bracelets made right
Searching for jewelry repair near me? Lucio's Gold, a family-owned jeweller in Markham with more than 30 years in the GTA, repairs rings, necklaces and bracelets, and tells you plainly what each piece needs.
What jewellery repair covers
We repair rings, necklaces and bracelets. Typical jobs include a loose stone, a worn prong, a broken chain, a failing clasp, a bent or cracked band and a ring that no longer fits. Bring the piece in and we will examine it, explain what is wrong and describe the options before any work begins.
Lucio's Gold is a family-owned jeweller at 7800 Woodbine Ave in Markham, near Highway 7 and the 404. We have served the GTA for more than 30 years. Jewellery repair sits beside our custom work, so the person fixing your piece also understands how it was built. See our Markham jeweller page for the local detail.
Most repairs begin small. A prong lifts a hair. A link stretches. A clasp opens when it should not. Catching these early costs less effort than rescuing a lost stone.
Bring any broken parts with you. A fallen stone, a snapped link or a loose clasp tells us how the damage happened. Wrap them in tissue and keep them together in a small container.
If you are not sure whether a piece is worth fixing, bring it in. Ask anything, and we will tell you honestly what we see, with no pressure.
A small repair made early is a lost stone avoided.
Finding jewelry repair near me that you can trust
Trust comes from explanation. A good repair jeweller shows you the problem under magnification, describes what the fix involves and says what risks exist. We do this at the counter, with your piece in front of us. Ask any jeweller the same questions and compare the answers before you decide.
Ask where the work will be done. Ask which parts of the piece will be touched. Ask how the finish will look afterward. A specific answer is a good sign.
We encourage customers to shop around and compare. A repair is a small act of trust, because a piece you love leaves your hands. You deserve to know exactly what happens to it.
Our shop is close to Markham, Scarborough, North York and Richmond Hill. Our service areas page lists the GTA communities we welcome.
Be wary of anyone who gives a firm answer without looking at the piece. Jewellery varies too much for that. A careful look comes first, and the answer follows.
Jewelry repair services near me: what to compare
When you search for jewelry repair services near me, compare more than the price. Ask who does the work, whether it is done on site, how the piece is protected and how the finish will look. A clear answer to each question tells you more than a quick quote. We welcome the comparison.
Ask to see the problem under magnification. A jeweller who shows you the worn prong or the thinning shank is teaching you, not selling you.
Ask what could go wrong. Heat can damage some stones. Old solder can fail. An honest jeweller names these risks before work begins.
Ask what the piece will look like afterward. A good repair is nearly invisible, so you can wear the piece again without thinking about it. A good polish does not remove more metal than needed.

Common repairs and what they involve
Repairs range from minor to structural. Re-tipping a prong, tightening a setting and fixing a clasp are small jobs. Soldering a broken chain or rebuilding a cracked band takes more care. The table compares the common types. Ask in store about your specific piece, because condition changes what is possible.
This table is a guide, not a quote. Cost and timing depend on the piece, so we explain them in person.
Heat is used in many repairs, and it can harm some stones. We check what is set in the piece before deciding how to proceed.
Not every problem needs a large repair. Sometimes a ring needs only cleaning and a check of its prongs. We tell you when less is the right answer.
| Repair | What it fixes | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Prong repair or re-tipping | Worn or lifted claws that hold a stone | Do this early; a loose prong can lose the stone |
| Stone tightening or resetting | A stone that wobbles or has fallen out | Stop wearing the piece and bring it in |
| Chain repair | Broken links or snapped chains | Soldering joins the link; very thin chains need care |
| Clasp replacement | A clasp that opens or will not close | The new clasp should match the weight of the chain |
| Band repair | Thin, bent or cracked ring shanks | A thinning shank may need rebuilding, not patching |
| Resizing | A ring that is too loose or tight | Stone-set and eternity bands can be harder; see our resizing page |
Ring resizing and sizing
We resize rings. A jeweller adds or removes a small section of metal, rejoins the band and finishes it, so the ring fits again. Stones set all the way around and certain metals can limit the work. Our dedicated page explains the process step by step and what to bring.
Fingers change with age, weather and fitness, so a ring that fit at the proposal may not fit now. Our ring resizing page covers how bigger and smaller adjustments differ.
If you are measuring before you buy, our guide to finding your ring size gives simple at-home methods.
For new rings, see our engagement rings page and our wedding bands page.
Jewelry repair close to me: why distance matters less than the bench
A repair shop that is close to you is convenient, but the person at the bench matters more. If you want jewelry repair close to me and your piece is precious, judge by how the jeweller explains the work. We are in Markham, a short drive from much of the GTA, and we explain each step in person.
Convenience counts for a quick clasp or a battery. A cherished ring is different. It is worth a longer drive to speak with someone who will explain the work and answer your questions.
We are on Woodbine Avenue near Highway 7, close to the 404 and 407. Customers from Toronto, Vaughan, Pickering and beyond make the trip.
Bring the piece, and any loose parts, in a small container. We examine it with you and describe the options before any work starts.
Jewellery repair for Toronto customers, done in Markham
Many customers drive to us from across Toronto and the wider GTA for jewellery repair. The reason is simple: you can speak with the jeweller who will handle the piece. We explain the work in person, and we encourage you to compare before deciding. Call (905) 475-1702 if you want to describe the piece first.
A face-to-face conversation helps. For jewellery repair in Toronto, you can point to the problem, show how the piece is worn and describe what matters most about it.
Heirlooms need particular care, because they carry a story as well as gold. A thin old chain or a worn gold band may not survive heavy repair. We tell you what is safe to attempt and what is better left alone.
Call before you come if you want to describe the piece. Otherwise, visit 7800 Woodbine Ave when you are ready.
Plan the visit around the piece. A ring is quick to assess. A long chain with several weak links takes longer to examine. Tell us on the phone what you are bringing so we can set aside the time.
Local repairs for Markham families
Lucio's Gold is on Woodbine Avenue in Markham, near Highway 7. Local customers can bring in a necklace, bracelet or ring for assessment. We look at the item together, explain the options and let you decide without pressure. Many Markham families bring pieces that have passed through several hands.
Our location makes repeat visits easy. Many repairs involve an initial look and a later collection. For jewelry repair in Markham, being nearby means fitting and checking take little effort.
Markham has many families with jewellery that has passed through several hands. Rings re-sized for a new generation, chains inherited from relatives and bracelets worn thin by decades of use all find their way here.
We are glad to look at anything and explain what we see. Come and show us the piece. If we think a piece should go elsewhere, we say so.
How the metal changes the repair
Different metals behave differently under repair. Gold is marked by karat: 10k is about 41.7 percent gold, 14k about 58.3 percent and 18k 75 percent. The alloy affects hardness and colour, and the repair metal must match it. Some metals, such as titanium, cannot be resized by cutting and soldering.
Gold repair uses matching alloys so colour and strength stay consistent. A mismatch is visible and may weaken the joint. Check the mark on the inside of the band if you want to know your karat. The Competition Bureau explains how precious metals are marked in Canada.
Silver tarnishes and needs different care from gold. Our silver jewellery page covers it. Platinum behaves differently again, and we talk through it case by case.
Plated and costume pieces are harder to fix, because the surface layer can wear through. If you are unsure what metal your piece is, bring it in and we will tell you what we find.
Watch repair, battery changes and appraisals
We repair watches, including battery replacement, and we write jewellery appraisals. Watch work is a separate craft from ring and chain repair, so it has its own pages. Read about each below, then visit 7800 Woodbine Ave or call (905) 475-1702 with the piece in mind.
Our watch repair page explains what we repair on a watch, and our watch battery replacement page covers the quick job most people need.
A jewellery appraisal is a written record of a piece, its metal and its stones. Our jewellery appraisal page explains what it covers.
For earrings, pendants and brooches, the same techniques as rings and chains usually apply. Bring the piece and we will tell you what we find.
For new designs or reworked heirlooms, see custom jewellery. Repair and redesign often start in the same conversation.
Preventing damage so repairs stay rare
Most damage is preventable. Remove rings for heavy work, gym sessions and cleaning. Store pieces separately in soft pouches. Clean gently with mild soap and warm water. Have settings checked from time to time, because prongs and clasps wear before they fail. A short inspection costs less than a lost stone.
Hands take the most abuse. Rings meet counters, tools and weights. Chlorine and strong cleaners can affect some metals. Take them off when in doubt.
Chains tangle and kink in drawers. A pouch or lined box helps. Fasten clasps before storing, so links do not twist.
Our guide to cleaning jewellery at home gives safe steps. Visit 7800 Woodbine Ave or call (905) 475-1702 if something looks wrong.
Keep an eye on sentimental pieces most of all. Look at prongs with a magnifier once in a while. If you see a gap between claw and stone, or a claw that has worn flat, bring the piece in.

Can you resize my ring?
Yes. We resize rings by adding or removing a small section of metal and rejoining the band. Stones set all the way round and certain metals can limit the work, and we tell you plainly what is possible. See our ring resizing page for the process.
Do you repair watches and replace watch batteries?
Yes. We repair watches, including battery replacement. Watch work is a separate craft from ring and chain repair, which is why it has its own pages. Read our watch repair page for what the work covers, and our watch battery replacement page for the quick job.

Yes. We write jewellery appraisals, a written record of a piece, its metal and its stones. Bring the piece to 7800 Woodbine Ave in Markham. Our jewellery appraisal page explains what an appraisal covers and why people ask for one.
Should I stop wearing a ring with a loose stone?
Yes. If a stone wobbles, rattles or sits crooked, stop wearing the ring and bring it in as soon as you can. A loose stone can fall out unnoticed. Check prongs as well, since a lifted or thin prong is often the cause. Early repair is simpler than replacing a lost stone.
Can you fix a broken gold chain?
Often, yes. A broken link can usually be rejoined by soldering, and a failed clasp can be replaced. Very thin or old chains need care, so bring the chain and any broken parts. We examine it and explain what repair makes sense for your piece.
