Before & After Series
A Very Damaged Hollow Ring Repair
On this edition of the Before & After Series, we focus on a hollow ring that was very damaged and misshapen. Hollow rings are very challenging for ring repairs because they have no structure in place to work with.
For this repair project, we had to:
- Reshape the shank
- Solder breakages
- Tighten the stones on the channel
- Finished with a Clean and Polish
If you would like to learn more about the Ring Resizing Process in detail and learning more about how complicated the process can be when it comes to ring design, we recommend reading our blog, “The Ultimate Ring Resizing Guide” for more information!

Before & After #19
I have a ring which has a gap in the back – in other words the band doesn’t connect all the way around. This is a silver ring and it has sentimental value for me. The size is 7.5 with the gap and I would like to keep the ring that size. Do you do these alterations and if so, what is the cost?
Hey Susanne, thank you for reaching out to us! We can definitely help with modifying the band on your silver ring. The process would be to replace the area of the band that has the gap instead of filling it in, and the cost would depend how much of the band (shank) needs to be replaced. Could you please message us at info@myjewelryrepair.com so we can understand the details of your particular ring? Thanks again!
