Does Waldron & Rhodes do repair work?
Absolutely! This is one of our areas of expertise. We have a complete shop on the premises staffed by full-time jewelers, engravers and quartz watch repair technicians. We also offer same day repair service and the opportunity to have work done while you wait!

What is the cost to size a ring or set a diamond?
The charge varies, and depends upon the complexity of the job, the type of metal (platinum or gold or silver), and the nature and type of gemstones involved. All repair work is estimated in advance so that you'll know what you'll be charged.

Does Waldron & Rhodes offer "While-You-Wait" service?
The short answer is YES, but in most cases we will need to see the item prior to making a definite commitment. Almost all diamond settings, sizing, soldering, stone setting and replacement can be done on a ?while-you-wait? basis, depending on the complexity of the job. In almost all cases, routine jobs like this can certainly be finished within the same day, if not while you wait.
Because we are always working through a list of scheduled repairs for other valued clients, we may charge an additional fee for While-You-Wait and Same Day service.

If I didn't buy it there, will Waldron & Rhodes size it or fix it?
Of Course. If it can be sized or fixed, we are happy to the job for you quickly, expertly and professionally. We have no qualms about working on jewelry bought in other shops, because we simply enjoy working on jewelry!
