Jewelry Restorations: Revive the Beauty and Legacy of Your Treasured Pieces.
Jewelry holds more than monetary value—it carries memories and sentiment. This holds especially true for pieces that stand the test of time and have passed from generation to generation. As much as we love old, honored pieces, sometimes we find them in fragile or deteriorated conditions, with tarnished metals, loose stones, or worn settings that compromise their beauty and wearability.
Jewelry restoration services offer the opportunity to breathe new life into these treasures, ensuring they can be cherished for years to come.
At SUNSHINE, we combine traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques to restore your treasured pieces to their original beauty. Whether it’s repairing a delicate clasp, rebuilding intricate settings, or rejuvenating tarnished metals, our team is here to help preserve your jewelry’s history and value.
We invite you to visit our Philadelphia and Media showroom for a complimentary consultation and explore how we can restore your jewelry to its original glory.
I had contacted the seller for help with picking a necklace for my needs. I lost my best friend, my cat, around December and am having a pendant made with his ashes. The seller helped me with all my questions and sent me many pictures so I'd be sure on my purchase. We ran in an issue with the delivery but again amazing customer service provided by the shop. I will be back for more purchases! Thank you guys again for all your help and compassion ❤️

Warm and inviting jewelry store with great customer service. Went to Sunshine Jewelers to look for an updated band. Not only were they extremely patient and kind, they allowed me to customize my band based off of a design I saw online. Muy and Laila provided me with updates on the progress and a quote that was extremely reasonable. The end result, I absolutely loved the way it came out! I never want to take it off. Their attention to detail and the craftsmanship is top tier. A huge thank you for creating an heirloom that I can pass down to my children that is not only timeless but also great quality.

Jewelry Restoration FAQ
Jewelry restoration is the process of reviving a piece of jewelry back to its original condition. The pieces that often need to be restored, are those that are oldest and hold a legacy or meaningful memories.
Unlike repairs, jewelry restoration is an exhaustive process, that involves initiatives like cleaning to remove years of tarnish, and repairs and servicing of multiple components.
At SUNSHINE, all restoration projects begin with a comprehensive evaluation of the piece at hand. Our master jeweler will carefully analyze your piece and its components to determine what needs to be done. Some common services done during restorations are:
Professional Cleaning: Removing tarnish, dirt, and grime to reveal the piece’s true beauty. Repairing Worn or Damaged Components: Fixing broken clasps, bent prongs, or weakened settings to ensure structural integrity.
Replacing Missing Stones: Sourcing high-quality gemstones that match the original design in cut, color, and clarity.
For vintage or heirloom jewelry, restoration often requires additional care and expertise. This may involve re-cutting or reshaping gemstones, replacing delicate parts that have become too fragile, or reinforcing structural elements to ensure the piece can be worn and enjoyed without compromising its authenticity.
Our team combines traditional, time-honored techniques with advanced modern tools to ensure each piece is restored to its full potential. Whether it’s a piece that’s been passed down generations, or a cherished vintage find, the goal is to honor the original craftsmanship while enhancing its longevity and beauty.
If in the end restoring your piece is not an option, you could always have it redesigned into a new one that you will love to wear.
This process is called jewelry redesign or jewelry restyling. We take the components of your old piece and use them towards a new design. This is a great way to honor the sentiment of an old piece that’s beyond repair while creating something new that can be enjoyed for years to come.
It’s difficult to give an accurate estimation of the lead time required for restoring an old piece without first seeing it. The timeline depends on the complexity of the work needed.
Simple projects that require basic fixes and a simple clean or polish can often be completed in a few days, while more exhaustive projects can take much longer.
To get an accurate idea of how long it would take to restore your piece, we invite you to our showroom for a complimentary consultation. We’ll thoroughly evaluate your piece, discuss the scope of the restoration, and provide an estimated timeframe and costs.
