Protect Your Precious Stones with Prong Repair
Prongs are the small metal claws that hold your diamonds and gemstones in place. Over time, prongs wear down from daily use, becoming thin and weak. A worn prong can bend or break, allowing your stone to fall out and potentially be lost forever.
At SM Diamond Center in Decatur, our expert jewelers inspect and repair prongs to prevent stone loss. We serve customers from across Metro Atlanta who trust us with their most valuable jewelry.
Signs Your Prongs Need Attention
Visible Wear
Prongs that look flat, thin, or worn down at the tips are losing their grip on your stone.
Bent Prongs
Prongs that are crooked, bent to the side, or not aligned may not be holding the stone securely.
Catching on Fabric
Prongs that snag on clothing or hair may have become lifted or developed sharp edges.
Loose Stone
If your stone moves, rattles, or spins in its setting, prong repair is urgently needed.
Missing Prong
A broken or missing prong leaves your stone extremely vulnerable. Stop wearing the ring until repaired.
Years of Wear
Rings worn daily for years inevitably experience prong wear. Regular inspection is essential.
