Ring Resizing & Sizing

Ring sizing is one of the most frequently requested jewelry services, and at IDC Cayman we approach every sizing request with the same meticulous care as a new commission. Our master jewelers can size most ring styles up or down, working with platinum, 18k white gold, yellow gold, and rose gold. The sizing process is carried out using traditional goldsmithing techniques — carefully cutting, adding, or removing metal from the band shank and then precisely rejoining and finishing the metal to an invisible seam — ensuring the sized ring is visually indistinguishable from the original.

Ring sizing is a delicate art that requires particular skill and experience with diamond-set rings, where the stones adjacent to the sizing point must be carefully protected and, in some cases, temporarily removed and reset. IDC Cayman’s jewelers have extensive experience sizing all types of diamond and gemstone rings — including delicate micropavé bands, channel-set eternity rings, and intricate vintage designs — ensuring every piece is handled with the care its value and sentimental significance deserves.

Most standard ring sizing requests are completed within 24–72 hours, with same-day service available in some cases for clients with urgent timing requirements. Eternity bands and rings with complex stone settings may require longer turnaround times — our team will provide you with a precise timeline estimate at the time of drop-off.

Jewelry Repair & Restoration

Even the finest jewelry can sustain damage over a lifetime of wear — clasps break, prongs wear thin, stones become loose, and metals develop structural weaknesses. IDC Cayman’s jewelry repair service addresses all of these issues with expert precision, restoring damaged pieces to full function and beauty. Our repair capabilities include:

Prong Retipping and Rebuilding: Prongs are the most critical structural element of any stone-set ring — they hold your diamond or gemstone in place and protect it from loss. Over time, prongs can wear thin through daily contact and eventually break or lose their grip on the stone. IDC Cayman’s jewelers inspect every prong carefully and rebuild or retip worn prongs using precisely matched precious metal, restoring both the security and appearance of the setting. We recommend having prongs professionally inspected annually as part of a routine maintenance schedule.

Stone Resetting: Loose diamonds or gemstones represent an urgent repair need — a stone that moves within its setting is at serious risk of being lost. IDC Cayman’s gemologists can identify loose stones during a professional inspection and restore their security through expert resetting. We also offer full stone resetting services for pieces where the existing setting is no longer appropriate — whether due to wear, design preference, or a desire to modernize an heirloom piece.

Clasp Repair and Replacement: A broken or malfunctioning clasp transforms a beautiful necklace or bracelet into a piece you cannot safely wear. Our jewelers can repair most types of jewelry clasps — box clasps, lobster clasps, toggle clasps, spring ring clasps, and magnetic clasps — restoring their proper function and security. Where a clasp is beyond repair, we can source and install a replacement clasp that precisely matches the original in style, metal, and finish.

Chain Repair and Soldering: Broken chains are among the most common jewelry repairs — and at IDC Cayman, our jewelers can solder most broken chain links to an invisible repair, restoring the chain’s integrity and continuity. We work with all types of precious metal chains — gold, white gold, rose gold, and platinum — in all standard link styles including cable, rolo, Figaro, box, and snake chains.

Bracelet and Bangle Repair: Broken clasps, cracked hinges, bent bangles, and damaged link connections are all within IDC Cayman’s repair expertise. Our jewelers work with all types of bracelets — tennis bracelets, bangles, charm bracelets, link bracelets, and flexible diamond bands — restoring their structural integrity and visual beauty.

Professional Jewelry Cleaning & Polishing

Even the most brilliant diamond can lose its sparkle over time as skin oils, lotions, soaps, and environmental particles accumulate on the stone’s surface and reduce its ability to transmit light. IDC Cayman’s professional jewelry cleaning service restores your pieces to their original maximum brilliance, using a combination of ultrasonic cleaning technology, professional steam cleaning, and hand polishing to achieve results simply impossible with at-home cleaning methods.

Our professional cleaning process begins with a thorough inspection of the piece under magnification — checking all stone settings, evaluating prong condition, and identifying any structural issues that should be addressed before cleaning. The piece is then placed in our professional ultrasonic cleaner, where high-frequency sound waves create microscopic cavitation bubbles that gently and thoroughly remove all accumulated deposits from every surface of the piece — including the areas underneath diamonds and in intricate settings that are impossible to reach with conventional cleaning tools. A final steam cleaning blasts away any remaining loosened deposits, followed by careful hand polishing to restore the metal’s surface lustre.

We offer complimentary professional cleaning for life for all jewelry purchased at IDC Cayman — simply bring your piece into our boutique at any time and we will clean, inspect, and polish it at no charge. For pieces purchased elsewhere, our cleaning service is available at very competitive rates with no appointment necessary for simple cleaning requests.

Rhodium Plating for White Gold

White gold jewelry is plated with rhodium — a brilliant white platinum-group metal — at time of manufacture to enhance its white appearance and surface hardness. Over time (typically 1–3 years depending on wear patterns), this rhodium plating wears away to reveal the slightly warmer yellow tone of the gold alloy beneath. IDC Cayman’s rhodium replating service restores your white gold jewelry to its original brilliant white appearance with a fresh rhodium coating applied by our professional electroplating equipment. The process takes approximately 24 hours and the results are immediately spectacular — restoring jewelry that has begun to look dull or slightly yellow to its pristine, bright white original condition.

Custom Jewelry Design

IDC Cayman’s bespoke custom jewelry design service is one of the most sought-after in the Caribbean — a collaborative creative process where your vision and our craftsmanship combine to produce a unique piece of wearable art that has never existed before. Our custom design service encompasses engagement rings, wedding bands, anniversary pieces, fashion jewelry, and any other jewelry concept you can imagine. The process includes a private design consultation, hand sketching, CAD rendering, stone selection, and master jeweler fabrication — all carried out with complete transparency and communication at every stage. Please visit our Custom Jewelry page for full details of our bespoke design process.

Heirloom Jewelry Redesign

Inherited or vintage jewelry pieces often contain diamonds and gemstones of exceptional quality housed in settings that no longer reflect contemporary style or the wearer’s personal aesthetic. IDC Cayman’s heirloom redesign service honours the historical and sentimental significance of these treasured stones while giving them a new life in a beautifully designed modern setting. Whether you want to reset a grandmother’s diamond into a contemporary engagement ring, transform an outdated brooch into a beautiful pendant, or recast a heavy gold chain into a sleek modern bracelet, our design team will work sensitively and creatively to achieve a result that honours the history of the piece while creating something you can wear proudly every day.

The heirloom redesign process begins with a careful gemological evaluation of your existing stones — assessing their quality, condition, and suitability for the proposed new setting. We document every stone with photography and measurement before any work begins, providing you with a complete record of the transformation. Throughout the redesign process, your original materials are tracked with full accountability, and no substitutions are ever made without your explicit knowledge and consent.

Jewelry Engraving

A personalized engraving transforms fine jewelry into something uniquely intimate — a ring engraved with your wedding date, a pendant bearing a loved one’s initials, a bracelet inscribed with a meaningful phrase that holds significance known only to you and the recipient. IDC Cayman offers professional jewelry engraving using state-of-the-art laser engraving equipment that delivers precision, consistency, and the ability to engrave in a wide range of fonts and sizes on all types of precious metal surfaces. We can engrave the interiors of rings, the backs of pendants, lockets, and medallions, charm bracelets, and flat metal surfaces of virtually any jewelry piece.

Professional Jewelry Appraisal

A professional jewelry appraisal provides a comprehensive, documented assessment of your jewelry’s description, characteristics, and current market replacement value — an essential document for insurance purposes, estate valuations, equitable distribution, resale, and charitable donation. IDC Cayman’s certified gemologists provide professional appraisal services that meet the requirements of major insurance companies and legal proceedings. Each appraisal includes a detailed written description of the piece, quality analysis of all diamonds and gemstones, photographs, and a current replacement value assessment based on market conditions.

We recommend updating your jewelry appraisals every 2–3 years, as fine jewelry values — particularly for diamonds and rare coloured gemstones — can change significantly over time. An outdated appraisal can leave you underinsured in the event of loss or theft, potentially resulting in a settlement that does not fully replace your jewelry at current market value.

Pearl Restringing

Pearl necklaces and bracelets are traditionally strung on silk thread with individual knots between each pearl — a beautiful construction that protects the pearls from scratching against each other and prevents catastrophic loss if the string breaks. Over time, silk thread stretches and accumulates oils and environmental debris, weakening the strand and creating a risk of breakage. IDC Cayman’s pearl restringing service uses the finest hand-dyed silk thread, individually knotted between each pearl in the traditional manner, restoring your pearl jewelry to its original beauty and integrity.
