WHY BRAVO

In-House Prong Work, Done Right

At Bravo Jewellers, prong retipping is performed on-site by our own bench jewelers, no shipping your ring out, no waiting weeks for a return. We examine each prong under magnification, rebuild only what needs attention, and match the metal so the repair is invisible and the setting is as strong as the day it was made.

THE PROCESS

Rebuilding Each Tip to the Original Profile

Our jewelers add metal directly to the worn tip, shape it to match the surrounding prongs, and re-seat the stone so it sits flush and secure. The finished prong is polished to blend seamlessly with the shank, no visible seam, no added bulk.

PRONG RETIPPINGFAQ

HOW DO I KNOW IF MY PRONGS NEED RETIPPING?

Common signs include a prong that catches on fabric, looks visibly flat or worn down, or a stone that shifts slightly when touched. If you notice any of these, bring the ring in, we will inspect it under magnification at no charge and tell you exactly what we find.

HOW LONG DOES PRONG RETIPPING TAKE?

Many retipping jobs are completed the same day. Turnaround depends on the number of prongs, the metal type, and current workload. We will give you an accurate timeframe when you bring the piece in.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RETIPPING AND RE-PRONGING?

Retipping rebuilds just the worn tip of an existing prong. Re-pronging replaces the entire prong from its base. We assess the condition of each prong individually and recommend only what is necessary to keep your stone secure.

WHICH METALS CAN YOU RETIP?

We work with yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, platinum, and sterling silver. The added metal is matched to your existing setting so the repair blends in and holds the same way the original prong did.

WILL THE RETIPPED PRONG BE VISIBLE?

Not when the work is done correctly. Our jewelers shape and polish each retipped prong to match the profile of the surrounding ones. The goal is a repair that looks like it was never needed.
