Losing the main stone of your engagement ring can be a distressing experience. Whether it’s due to an accident, wear and tear, or a sudden mishap, it’s essential to know your options and the steps to take. At Martin Busch Jewelers, we understand how significant your engagement ring is and are here to guide you through the process.
Assess the Situation
First, check to see if the stone is simply loose or missing altogether. If you find the stone, handle it with care. If it’s still in the setting but feels wobbly, avoid wearing the ring until it’s inspected by a professional jeweler.
Contact Your Jeweler
If the main stone is gone, reach out to your jeweler immediately. At Martin Busch Jewelers, our experts can evaluate the setting for damage and determine if the stone can be replaced or repaired. Having your ring appraised will help you understand the cost of replacement and any insurance claims that might be applicable.
Replacement Options
If the stone is irretrievable, you have several options for replacement. You can choose a stone that matches the original in size and quality, or you may decide to upgrade to a different stone that better fits your style or budget. Our team at Martin Busch Jewelers can guide you in selecting the perfect replacement that reflects your unique love story.
Insurance and Warranty
If you have insurance on your engagement ring, now is the time to file a claim. Many jewelers also offer warranties that cover certain types of damage, so check if your policy applies. At Martin Busch Jewelers, we provide information on warranties and insurance to ensure you’re well-informed about your coverage.
Preventing Future Loss
To avoid losing a stone in the future, consider regular maintenance checks. We recommend having your engagement ring inspected every six months to ensure the setting is secure and free from wear. Our team can also clean your ring and advise you on proper care techniques.
