We Fix the Jewelry You Love: A Complete Guide to J.R. Dunn Repair Services




J.R. Dunn Jewelers

Jewelry & Watch Repair — Fort Lauderdale & South Florida

We Fix the Jewelry
You Love




South Florida's in-house jewelry repair and watch repair shop -- fine jewelry, luxury timepieces, engraving, and full restoration. Serving Fort Lauderdale, Lighthouse Point, Boca Raton, and beyond.

Your jewelry tells a story. A diamond engagement ring worn every day for twenty years. A gold bracelet passed down from a grandmother. A watch that has ticked through decades of milestones. When something goes wrong with a piece that means something to you, you deserve more than a quick fix from a stranger. At J.R. Dunn Jewelers -- South Florida's jewelry repair shop for over five decades -- you get the care of a team that treats your pieces the way you do. Our in-house workshop in Lighthouse Point handles everything from routine maintenance to full restoration, serving Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, Pompano Beach, and the surrounding area.

01

Fine Jewelry Repair



Ring Sizing

Fingers change. Our bench jewelers resize rings properly -- cut and soldered for a clean, structurally sound result. We handle simple bands, diamond eternity rings, multi-metal rings, and complex designer settings. If you are looking for ring repair near me in the Fort Lauderdale area, this is the kind of work we do every day. No surprises on what is and isn't possible.


Prong Retipping & Replacement

Prong work is preventive. If we catch a worn prong early, we save you from losing a stone entirely. Our jewelers retip individual prongs, rebuild from the base when needed, and re-examine every stone before the piece leaves the shop.


Stone Setting

We reset diamonds and gemstones in all major setting styles. Whether a stone has come loose, fallen out, or you want to move a meaningful stone into a new mounting, we have the skill and equipment to do it right.

Soldering & Structural Repair

Chains snap. Clasps break. Shanks crack. We solder broken chains, replace worn clasps, rebuild split shanks, and reattach pendants and charms. The goal is a repair that holds -- and wherever possible, one that is invisible.


Rhodium Plating

White gold's bright finish comes from a rhodium coating that wears off over time. We restore the crisp white look on white gold pieces, typically completed within a few days.


Jewelry Cleaning & Polishing

Day-to-day wear leaves a film of lotion, soap, and oils that dulls gemstone brilliance. A professional cleaning makes an immediate difference. We use ultrasonic cleaning, steam, and hand polishing -- selecting the right method for each piece.

When you leave a piece with us, it stays in our hands. Our shop is on-premises, and our jewelers are the people you talk to.

Watch Repair Near Me -- South Florida


Looking for a watch repair shop near you in Fort Lauderdale or South Florida? Our in-house watchmakers service everything from everyday quartz to luxury mechanical movements. We work on Rolex, TAG Heuer, Breitling, Tudor, and most major brands -- same team, same shop, every time.

01

Battery Replacement

The most common request. We replace batteries across quartz movements from most major brands and reseal the case to maintain water resistance. Usually quick.

02

Band & Bracelet Service

Bracelets stretch. Straps crack. We resize metal bracelets, replace clasps, and source replacement straps for many brands we carry.

03

Crystal Replacement

A scratched crystal makes even a beautiful watch look neglected. We replace in mineral glass and sapphire crystal, sourcing the correct fit for the model when possible.

04

Full Movement Service

Like a car engine, a mechanical watch movement needs periodic service. A full service includes disassembly, cleaning all movement components, replacing worn parts, fresh lubrication, reassembly, regulation, and timing verification. Rolex watch repair, TAG Heuer watch repair, Breitling, and Tudor servicing -- we handle all of them in-house at our Lighthouse Point workshop. For any luxury mechanical watch, this is an investment in a piece built to last generations.

05

Water Resistance Testing

Seals degrade over time. We test water resistance and reseal cases after any service that involves opening the case back.

Engraving


Personalization makes jewelry personal. We offer engraving services for rings, bracelets, pendants, watch case backs, and other flat or curved metal surfaces. Whether it is initials, a date, a short message, or a family crest, our engraving is done with precision and care. Ask us about font options and placement when you bring your piece in.

Jewelry Restoration


Some pieces come to us not broken, but faded -- worn smooth, missing stones, stripped of the detail that once made them beautiful. Restoration is a different kind of work than basic repair. It requires understanding what the piece was designed to look like and having the skill to bring it back there. We take on estate jewelry restoration, heirloom rebuilds, and gold jewelry repair for pieces that have sentimental value well beyond their material worth. If you are searching for a jewelry repair shop near you in South Florida that handles complex work, come in and talk to us -- we will give you an honest assessment of what is possible.

Why J.R. Dunn

Fort Lauderdale's jewelry repair shop for over 55 years.

We are not a chain, not a mall kiosk, and not an online service where your jewelry disappears into a shipping box. Our showroom and workshop are in Lighthouse Point -- minutes from Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, and Deerfield Beach -- and when you leave a piece with us, it stays in our hands. Our jewelers are experienced, our shop is on-premises, and our team will talk to you directly about what the work involves, how long it will take, and what it will cost before anything is done.

We also carry and service the brands we repair. Whether you need Rolex watch repair, Breitling repair, TAG Heuer service or a fine jewelry repair on a piece from one of our prestige brands, familiarity with how these pieces are built matters when something needs to be fixed.
