Re-Shanking
(sample half shank or half ring)
At Jones & Son we offer a full array of re shanking
services available to our customers. Whether it is a Finger Fit arthritic shank
or just a half shank that you need come in and let us restore your worn out
shank to its original condition. Typically, when the shank of a ring is wearing
thin, the Master Jewelers at Jones & Son utilize a process that is very
similar to sizing a ring.(see ring sizing) The shank usually gets paper thin and
needs to be replaced by a half shank (half ring) and it is replaced by cutting
the original ring in the middle of the shank. The new half shank is then placed
at the bottom of the ring and soldered at both ends of the piece. The metal is
then sanded, buffed, and smoothed out. Then the ring is then polished and
cleaned in the ultrasonic to bring the ring back to life after the work is
completed. You may replace a quarter, half, three-quarter, or full shank
depending on the need.
