Solitaires

The goal was to find a ring that was black on black; however, a malleable black metal suitable for jewelry-making does not exist. Instead, we went with 18 karat yellow gold with an enhanced black diamond. The 18 karat provides a beautiful contrast on the dark diamond. The ring is a traditional solitaire with claw prongs.

Because black metal suitable for jewelry-making does not exist, we built this 18 karat yellow gold and set a round black diamond. Inquire within for more details.

We want your rings to fit comfortably, and fingers change sizes. We can size almost any gold or platinum ring to make them larger or smaller depending on your need. Some rings like eternity bands or certain setting styles are more difficult, but we normally can discuss options. 

When a ring needs to be sized down, we remove metal from the back of the ring, cutting it out with a saw. After the ring is cut, a good surface is made to weld the ring back together. We either use the laser welder or solder, depending on the type of ring shank and which process works the best for each ring. After the ring is welded back together it needs to be polished to bring it back to its original luster.

To increase a ring’s size, we measure the ring to see what size it is to start. If the ring needs to be larger by two sizes, we cut out a piece of the metal from sizing stock that is purchased from our vendor. The piece of sizing stock needs to be milled to the proper thickness and cut to the proper width so it can be soldered or welded into the existing ring shank. If there is a design in the ring, we try to match the design as close as possible, sometimes using engraving or applying miligrain so there is no evidence of the sizing.  After the piece is installed, the ring will be rounded out, filed, sanded and polished.

Sizing Rings

We resize gold and platinum engagement rings and wedding bands up to make them larger and down to make them smaller in our on-site jewelry shop in Overland Park. With decades of experience in Kansas City, you can be assured your ring will be properly sized.

Ring Sizing

Jewelry looks best clean. The diamonds and gemstones need light to enter and reflect around to get those beautiful vibrant bursts. At-home cleaners work well for daily wear; however, we suggest a professional cleaning once a year. Grease, hand lotion, skin oils, etc all can make diamonds and gemstones look hazy. In our full on-site Kansas City jewelry shop, we have the equipment to complete a cleaning and make your pieces pop again.

Jewelry Cleaning Professional

Dolgins has the equipment and know-how to make your gold or platinum diamond, sapphire, ruby or other gemstone jewelry shine again. Visit our Kansas City jewelry store and shop for details.

Professional Jewelry Cleaning

In most cases, we suggest soldering the rings together. The main advantage of soldering a wedding band and engagement ring together is that it increases the longevity of the rings. When rings are rubbing against each other it creates  a sandpaper effect, which can eventually lead to costly repairs and sometimes loss of side diamonds. Soldering also ensures the diamonds are lined up and the wearer doesn't have to adjust the rings as they move on your finger. The only time we suggest not soldering a ring and band together is if someone wants to wear the rings individually, then of course soldering is not an option. Please note that on engagement rings and wedding purchased from us, we solder them together free of charge because we want to incentivize people to solder rings together.

Soldering Rings Together

Gold is naturally a golden color. In jewelry-making, we often like to set diamonds and gemstones in white metals such platinum. In the 20th century, metallurgist developed alloy of gold, which appears white as a platinum alternative. White gold has more nickel, silver, and/or palladium to tone down the yellow. However, as white as it appears, the yellows do shine through. The final step after polishing white gold is to electroplate a thin layer of rhodium metal over the white gold. This process is commonly known as dipping because the ring or piece of jewelry is dipped into a rhodium solution. With wear, the plating does wear off.

After a white gold piece is plated, it pops white and shiny. We can also plate yellow gold piece to make them white (temporary at least).

When a ring gets stuck on your finger, there is no need to panic. Often, fingers will swell around a ring making them very difficult to get off your finger. If you cannot get your ring off, I suggest using Windex, which has a lubricant in it that often helps rings slide off. In the event you cannot get the ring off, we have a jewelers saw that is safe for removing your ring. The process is quick and painless. We are experienced at removing rings in a manner to maintain their integrity not hurt the diamonds or gemstones, so they can resized at a later date and enjoyed again. We do NOT charge for this service.

With time and wear, the material or cord thats holds pearl jewelry together wears out. At Dolgin’s, we restring a lot of pearl necklaces and bracelets and can certainly help you. Included in the restringing is a thorough cleaning to return that beautiful luster to your pearls.

Restringing pearls is more than just new knots. We begin by carefully disassembling your necklace or bracelet making sure each pearl and the clasp is in good condition. The next step is an extended cleaning in our special pearl cleaning solution for two reasons: we only work on clean jewelry and pearls need to be cleaned every so often . The clasp will also be cleaned and renewed if necessary. Next, we string each pearl together. Normally, we use a high quality, tight-woven, natural silk cord. Next, each pearl is individually knotted. Finally, the clasp is attached.

Please note that pearls recently restrung will be shorter as the new cord has not been stretched. Also, the price may vary but is based on 18 inch necklace with 7 millimeter wide pearls. Bracelets will be a little less; opera length pearls will be more.
