Jewelry Repair

If you are looking for a Carlsbad jeweler you can trust for expert repair and custom manufacturing, come to Gems of La Costa Jewelers. Our on-site team of jewelers has more than 120 years of combined experience and offers a complete range of jewelry services. Our jewelers can do almost any type of jewelry repair or remake your jewelry into a completely new, unique design.

Need a ring restored? Prongs wearing thin?

Every day jewelry gets a lot of wear, especially engagement rings. We recommend having your jewelry checked every few months for loose stones and to make sure your prongs are not wearing thin to prevent losing your stones. For prong set stones, we can build up the prongs to extend the life of your setting or rebuild the channels to last you for another few years.

Reputation Matters!

I could not recommend Gems of La Costa enough! My pieces always come back better than I brought them and the pricing is on point. They were under renovation and I took my Tiffany ring to another shop and it got ruined. Gems of La Costa fixed it and I am so happy. Rhonda is the best!!! She remembered I had a puppy and gave me a cute little necklace for him. You won’t regret.

Gems of La Costa did a fabulous job fixing my wedding and engagement ring. My engagement ring had a tiny missing diamond on the band and where that missing diamond was, the band had slightly snapped as well. They were able to repair it perfectly in addition to soldering the 2 rings together. I am in love with my ring all over again! Looks brand new. I also purchased another band and Rhonda helped me choose the perfect band. She was so patient and kind, offering lots of options and feedback. I went in thinking I wanted the same band I had already but she helped me choose something that was different— something very unique, beautiful, and within my price range. I am so glad Gems of La Costa is near because they will be the place I go to for all my jewelry needs. Highly recommend!

I came here in search of an engagement ring and had an incredible experience. Rhonda was extremely helpful throughout the whole process. She was very thorough in answering all of my questions and guiding me through the process of selecting the perfect ring. I also came here on a time crunch and she went out of her way to make sure the ring was ready by the time I needed. I couldn’t be happier with my experience here!

Mechanical Watch Full Service

Our full service for mechanical watches consists of the dis-assembly and overhaul of the movement with an examination of all parts. We replace damaged or worn parts and re-seal water-resistant cases. Each of its parts are placed in special chemical solutions that dissolve dirt, dust, and emulsify any dried out oils. When the watch is reassembled, special oils are applied to lubricate all essential parts. We recommend that a general overhaul be performed every three years and that all water-resistant watches be tested once a year for case tightness. In addition, bracelet watch bands are polished and thoroughly cleaned.

Quartz Watch Full Service

Our quartz watch full service consists of the watch dis-assembly, the case and bracelet being polished and thoroughly cleaned in the ultrasonic and the battery being replaced. If needed, the gaskets will be replaced then the watch is resealed to factory specifications. We recommend that all water-resistant watches have their water resistance checked every time the battery is changed.
