5 Top Tips When Your Gemstone Breaks

Published on: 13/05/2021 by Royi Sal Jewelry Team - Leave a Comment

Tips When Your Gemstone Breaks

Working with gemstones can be rewarding but tricky. When a gemstone breaks, it can be one of the most frustrating things ever! Don’t worry, almost every jeweler has been there, and a broken gemstone doesn’t have to mean a wasted piece. Here are the 5 Top Tips When Your Gemstone Breaks.

5  Top Tips to Make the Most of Your Broken Gemstone

1. Resetting the stones

Remove the gemstone pieces from their setting and reset them as two separate gemstones. Either using claw settings or (depending on the type of break and the shapes of the broken stones) bezel settings.

You could then attach the settings to ring shanks or turn them into pendants. Often, you can still use your original design, just with your new different-shaped gemstone.

2. Kintsugi

Taking inspiration from the Japanese philosophy of embracing imperfections and creating something of even more value.

Why not make a feature of the broken gemstone by gluing the crack back together and then applying gold leaf along the crack. This makes it even more beautiful and unique.

3. Rework the gemstones into an inlay

Gently crush the gemstones into lots of tiny pieces. Using resin and the gemstone chips, inlay them into a slightly recessed form. This could work particularly well for stepped ring bands.

4. Wire wrapping

This is ideal if the broken gemstone pieces are fairly large. Using wire wrapping techniques, wrap the gemstone pieces, making a loop at the top to act as a bail.

You could even make the two separate gemstone pieces into a pair of matching gemstone earrings!

5. Embrace it!

5 Top Tips When Your Gemstone Breaks

If your gemstone is already set in a bezel, the crack often won’t affect the security of the setting.

The beauty of handmade jewelry is that it is unique and visibly handcrafted; mistakes happen, but this doesn’t mean that the outcome is any less beautiful than your original design.
