Full Shank and Half Shank Replacement Service
The shank, or band, is the lower portion of a ring that wraps around the finger. With regular wear, even the most durable metals can wear down over time, causing the shank to grow thin and potentially crack or snap entirely.
At The Jewellery Mechanic, our ring shank replacement service restores rings to their original state by replacing the entire shank or half shank, making it thicker and more durable. We always ensure the new shank is crafted to match the thickness of the original design, guaranteeing it will last for years. That’s our promise to you.
Please fill out the form and upload the required images when placing your order. We will reach out if any additional information is necessary to best complete the service.
