Jewelry Services
A trusted name for fine jewelry and custom design for more than 40 years!
Our services include:
Custom Jewelry
Our professional jewelers excel in wax model making, casting and fabrication of jewelry. They also work with bead and prong settings, creating Pave jewelry and bright cutting. While many jewelers have learned the basic techniques of diamond setting, very few have the physical strength to do bright cutting, which is when the jeweler needs to hand carve the metal and set the stones in a particular way. All of their craftsmanship is done in the store, so you can exchange ideas with the person making your dream into a reality. Solid Gold Jewelers is proud to be the only store in Bloomington-Normal that provides this creative service to its customers and we are honored to have such talented jewelers working with us.
Jewelry Cleaning
Bring your jewelry in every six months for a clean and check! Clean and checks are free for small jewelry items, no matter where you purchased them. We’ll make sure your stones are bright and tight!
Jewelry Redesign
The same ring might not cut it for you after a few good years of use. If you’re the type to resonate with the saying, “out with the old, in with the new,” come show us your jewelry! We can find new settings for your stones, put your scrap toward a new piece, and so much more!
Jewelry Repairs
Our in house jewelers will happily take a look at any jewelry items that may need repairs! We cannot provide a jewelry repair estimate over the phone or without the piece of jewelry in front of us. Bring in the jewelry items in question for a free estimate from our jewelers while you browse our wide selection of rings, necklaces, earrings, and more!
Jewelry Memorial
The loss of a loved one is no easy process. Let us help you remember them with a piece of jewelry made special for you. We’ve had customers place dried flowers or sand in our capsule charms, engrave jewelry with special dates and/or words, as well as repurposing inherited jewelry. We’ll be happy to discuss your options with an in-store visit.
