SIZING AND REPAIRS
For Your Custom Jewelry Made by Krikawa
Damaged Engagement Rings or Wedding Bands
We recommend having your jewelry cleaned and inspected by a professional jeweler annually. All routine maintenance, re-sizing, and repairs are priced individually based on the piece. Our standard labor charge is $160 per hour. We charge for material, labor, and shipping.
To give you an accurate repair quote, we must physically inspect the piece. Please understand that we are unable to provide repair quotes over the telephone.
After repair, we return your jewelry to you via FedEx TWO-DAY delivery (domestic), fully insured. (Special rules apply to international repair shipments; please ask our repair team.)
Please call 1-888-KRIKAWA, or contact us with questions about our repair services.

Classic Repair Services for Your Custom Krikawa Jewelry
"Back to Factory" Ring Refinishing
A routine refinishing of your ring is recommended no more than once a year. Typical refinishing is called "back to factory service," and, following industry standards, our service includes stone check and tightening, light sanding, and polish. "Back to factory" is not the same as "new." Additional fees include replacing missing or cracked accent stones, laser filling deep gouges, dents, or scratches, plating or darkening, and re-tipping or re-pronging claws or bezels.
Mokume Refinishing Service
If your ring has Mokume Gane, our signature service is Mokume Refinishing, which we recommend at least bi-annually. During this service, we will refresh your Mokume (buff & blast), check and tighten stones, and polish the ring. Here are Mokume Refinishing prices:
Classic Mokume Ring, no stones | $120 |
Mokume Solitaire Engagement Ring or Mokume Ring with 1 stone, Mokume Mountain Ring |
$220 |
Mokume Engagement Ring or Mokume Ring, with up to 20 stones | $340 |
Mokume Engagement Ring or Mokume Ring, with up to 50 stones | $400 |
Mokume Engagement Ring or Mokume Ring, with more than 50 stones | $450 |
Some clients prefer the patina of wear that is natural with aging of precious metal, if you prefer the aged look of your mokume gane, let us know!
Mokume Refinishing services does not include replacing missing or cracked accent stones, laser filling deep gouges, dents or scratches, re-tipping or re-pronging prongs or bezels. We will supply an estimate for any additional services.
Ring Resizing Options
Do you have a ring you can't wear because it is the wrong size?
We can determine your proper size, and re-size your gold or platinum ring up or down. Some eternity designs cannot be resized.
If you have large knuckles, sizing beads are a great option, if your finger swells and shrinks significantly (seasonal, arthritis, etc), to avoid spinning for top heavy rings, or if you have a ring that is not recommended for sizing.
Other Common Repair Services
Jewelry Cleaning and Inspections: Would you like a refreshing steam clean for your diamonds and other jewelry? Have your jewelry refreshed and inspected for wear and tear.
Thin Shank: Do you have a ring with a thin, bent or worn shank? A new quarter- or half-shank will make your ring safe and comfortable to wear.
Prong Retipping: Having the prongs checked annually for wear can protect stones from loss.
Stone Tightening: Is your stone rattling around in the setting? Be sure to get your stone tightened to prevent loss.
Precious Gemstone Replacement: We can match and replace just about any gemstone, whether it is a large single stone or channel set, bezel set or pave set stones.
