Prevent unexpected stone loss and keep your fine jewelry sparkling with professional cleaning and multi-point inspection in Chesapeake, VA. Our master bench jeweler checks every piece under high magnification for worn prongs, loose diamonds or gemstones, thinning shanks, cracked solder joints, and weak clasps.

Restore bright-white brilliance and scratch-resistant protection to your fine jewelry with professional in-house rhodium plating at Tidewater Diamond in Chesapeake, VA. While most commonly applied to reverse natural yellowing on white gold, electro-plating with liquid rhodium also seals sterling silver to prevent tarnishing, sharpens the cool luster of platinum, and creates striking contrast in two-tone or black rhodium designs. Our award-winning master jeweler meticulously cleans, polishes, and replates your rings, earrings, and chains on-site for a flawless, hyper-reflective finish.
Protect precious diamonds, sapphires, and heirloom gemstones from accidental loss by keeping their settings structurally sound. Daily friction gradually flattens, thins, or snags metal prongs across gold, platinum, and silver settings. Using precise on-site bench techniques, our master jeweler re-tips worn claw settings, rebuilds broken prongs, and tightens loose stones directly at our Chesapeake store—ensuring your engagement rings and vintage jewelry stay beautiful and fully secure without ever leaving our facility.

Yes. Tidewater Diamond offers in-house jewelry repair at our Chesapeake showroom, with work performed by our master bench jeweler. Our services include ring resizing, prong repair, chain and clasp repairs, rhodium plating, and stone resetting. Bring your piece in so we can assess its condition and explain the recommended repair.
We offer ring resizing, tip and prong repair, loose-stone tightening, stone resetting, broken-chain soldering, clasp replacement, rhodium plating, and professional cleaning and inspection. We also assess worn settings and damaged jewelry to determine suitable repair options. The best approach depends on your piece’s metal, gemstones, design, and condition.
Your jewelry does not have to have been purchased at Tidewater Diamond for us to assess it for repair. Bring your piece to our Chesapeake showroom, and we’ll inspect its condition and discuss the available options. Repair suitability depends on the materials, construction, gemstones, and any previous damage or repairs.
Jewelry repair costs depend on the work required, the metal and gemstones involved, and the condition of the piece. A simple clasp repair requires a different approach from rebuilding worn prongs or restoring an heirloom setting. Bring your jewelry to our Chesapeake showroom so we can assess the work and explain the recommended repair and estimated cost.
We will review the estimated cost with you prior to doing work.
Turnaround time depends on the type of repair, the condition of your jewelry, and whether additional materials or parts are needed. Ring resizing, setting repairs, and more involved restoration work can require different amounts of bench time. When we inspect your piece, we’ll discuss the repair process and expected completion timing.
Many rings can be resized, but the options depend on the metal, band design, stone settings, and how much the size needs to change. Tidewater Diamond offers in-house ring sizing, shank reshaping, and sizing beads where appropriate. Our jeweler will assess your ring and recommend an approach that takes its settings, design, and structural integrity into account.
We assess heirloom jewelry and offer repairs such as rebuilding worn prongs, tightening loose stones, and resetting gemstones. Each piece is inspected to determine what work its condition and construction will support. If you notice a loose diamond or gemstone, stop wearing the piece and bring it in for inspection before further wear increases the risk of losing the stone.
