RING SIZING

Our expert jewelers can accurately determine your ring size and professionally adjust your ring to fit you perfectly. We offer various options and sizing methods to ensure you don't have to sacrifice comfort for beauty. 

PRONG REPAIR

Proper maintenance and prong rebuilding can prevent the loss of your precious diamonds. We will inspect your jewelry mountings and prongs for any damage or defects that might compromise the stability of your diamonds and gemstones. 

STONE RESETTING & REPLACEMENT

Our professional jewelers can replace stones in any setting, including solitaires, three-stone rings, tension settings, channel settings, bezel settings, and pavé. We can also set loose gemstones in the mounting of your choice.

CUSTOM JEWELRY DESIGN

Don't let old jewelry, which feels more suited as a paperweight than a wearable accessory, go to waste. Bring us the pieces you no longer wear, especially those with sentimental value that make selling or trading difficult. Our jewelry experts can repurpose your old jewelry and gemstones to create a completely new design. Using a blend of advanced laser technology and traditional handcraftsmanship, we'll craft a beautiful custom piece that you'll cherish forever. 

JEWELRY CLEANING & POLISHING

At Cargile's, we will clean, polish, and restore your jewelry to make it look like new. We'll ensure your pieces shine and sparkle as brilliantly as the first time you wore them, if not better. 

NECKLACE, BRACELET, & CHAIN REPAIR

Our master jewelers specialize in inspecting and repairing broken chains, pendants, and charms, as well as replacing worn-out clasps and closures. We efficiently refurbish your necklaces, bracelets, and jewelry chains to make them look new again.

PEARL RESTRINGING

Over time and with regular wear, the cords of pearl necklaces and bracelets can become brittle and prone to breaking. Our expert can extend the life of your pearls by restringing them and inspecting the clasps.

JEWELRY CLEANING & REPAIR ESTIMATES

We provide a complimentary cleaning service to ensure your jewelry shines as brilliantly as the day you purchased it. Additionally, we offer repair cost estimates for various services, including inspection, polishing, cleaning, and repairs for your watches and fine jewelry. Please inquire with a member of our staff for more details.

RHODIUM PLATING

Rhodium plating covering gold jewelry can wear off, particularly on rings or bracelets where jewelry is more susceptible to scuffs and daily wear. We offer rhodium replating services to return the shine and sparkle to your jewelry. You can also add rhodium plating to any jewelry to make it hypoallergenic or increase the resistance to scratches. Regardless of where you bought your jewelry, we are happy to apply rhodium plating to return it to an unblemished state and bring back the silver luster.

ESTATE JEWELRY

We know that sorting an estate can be overwhelming, whether it is your own, you are an executor, or you have inherited jewelry. We are here to help through every step of this process. Often the best place to start is to schedule an appointment with us to bring in whatever jewelry you have. Every estate and situation is different, and we can help guide you through the process to best meet your goals.

This may include sorting jewelry (costume versus fine jewelry), determining which items are worth further evaluation, discussing cash prices for the items you may want to resale, or redesigning the jewelry into something you will love to wear!

If you are working with an estate and need written documentation of values, we can provide detailed written appraisals with fair market or liquidation values. The appraisal fee is $25.00 per item. For items with an estimated value of below $2000, we can provide a simplified line-item appraisal with a basic description and estate value for each item. The cost for this is $5.00 per item. Some items may not qualify for this service if they require advanced gemological testing.

If you would like only verbal values of the items, there is a $100/hour charge for sorting and evaluating estates. However, this fee is waived if any items are repaired, or redesigned with us.

I have a bunch of jewelry, 

and I don't know what's real or costume—help!

We call this game "mystery jewelry box"! Let us help you sort through your jewelry to find the treasures. We can help you determine what is real versus what is costume, repair broken jewelry, and create new designs to repurpose items that have been long forgotten.  There is no fee for this service.
