My diamond is loose, will a jeweler charge to repair it?

Kris asked:


My boyfriend noticed that the top diamond in my ring is loose. Just barely loose, I believe. When I shake the ring I can hear a slight rattle. I can’t see it shaking, but my boyfriend says he is sure it’s the top one.

Anyway…if I take it to a jeweler, will they charge me to have it tightened? Money is a little tight at the moment…
It wasn’t bought locally. We bought it from a family jeweler while in Israel.

I take it to get cleaned every month, and they clean it for free…maybe they’ll tighten it for free. I don’t know, just thought I’d ask here first.

thank you all <3
oh, and I will refrain from wearing it 'til it is fixed, of course.

The best thing to do is just ask them. Go to different jewellers and find out. I know I went to a jeweller in my town and they fixed my ring for free.

Or consider going to the place where you got the ring.

It is their job to such things so yes.

It will cost you money.

My mom neglected to take her Mother’s ring to the jewler for three years (you’re supposed to go very 3 months) and she couldn’t pick it up for about 3 months because she got layed off and had to wait until she got another job.

But when she picked it up she was the happiest woman on earth; it looked stunning. =]

If you take it back to where it was bought they might not charge you for it but otherwise yes. I would think it would be less than $30, but you need to get it done or you could loose the diamond.
