Shank Repair · Milford, Ohio
A band built to last.
The shank is the band of your ring, and it takes on more wear than almost any other part. Over time it can thin out, crack, or break entirely. Our jewelers rebuild shanks in-house so your ring stays strong and comfortable to wear.
- Rebuilt in-house in Milford
- New metal matched to your ring
- Most repairs in 2 to 3 weeks
