Why send it out? Because it gets you a better outcome than a generalist would. We would rather tell you a job needs a specialist than attempt it and cost you the piece. You will always know upfront if a job goes out, what the timeline is, and what it will cost — before you approve.
Working to a deadline? Tell us upfront if it is for a wedding, anniversary or gift and we will plan around it — or tell you honestly if the timing will not work.
Ring Sizing in Mobridge, SD
Sizing up adds metal to the shank; sizing down removes it. Either way the join is soldered, cleaned and re-polished so it does not show. Cost depends on the metal, how far you are moving, band thickness, and whether stones have to come out. Sterling and 10K–14K gold are the most economical; platinum and eternity bands cost more because of both the metal and the complexity.
Black Hills Gold needs extra care. The tri-color leaf-and-grape work can discolour under careless heat, so we assess those here and route them to a partner who knows the alloy. More on Black Hills Gold →
How It Works
Bring it in, or text photos
Walk in during business hours, or text 2–4 clear photos to (605) 850-9455 for a read before you drive.
We inspect the whole piece
Not just the break. A worn prong next to a fixed one will be the next thing to fail, and you should know now.
Written estimate and timeline
Price, where the work happens, and how long. Nothing starts until you say yes.
Your options — including the ones that aren't us
Bring it here — you hand it to a person, get an estimate, and the piece stays in town. Mail-in repair — works, but your ring is in the post and you are approving from photographs. Drive to Aberdeen, Pierre or Bismarck — about 100 miles each way, worth it for a museum-grade restoration, hard to justify for a clasp. Back to the manufacturer — the right call for branded pieces under warranty. A DIY kit — fine for a watch pin, a genuinely bad idea near a stone.

Ring sizing cost depends on metal type, size change, band thickness, and whether the ring has stones or special construction. Sterling silver and 10K-14K gold sizing is typically the most economical.

Do you do engraving in Mobridge?
Engraving is sent to a trusted partner - date and initial work, script, and larger area engraving alike. We look at the piece here, tell you what is realistic for it, and give you a timeline before anything goes out.
Do you repair Black Hills Gold jewelry?
Yes. Larsen's has carried and serviced Black Hills Gold since 1941. We inspect Black Hills Gold rings, necklaces, bracelets, pendants, and earrings for sizing, stone setting, clasp repair, cleaning, and other repair options. The tri-color leaf-and-grape design requires care that not every jeweler knows how to do correctly.
Is an ultrasonic cleaner safe for my jewelry?
For plain gold and platinum without stones, usually. The vibration can loosen stones in worn settings, and it can damage pearls, opals, emeralds, turquoise and other porous or treated stones. If a piece has stones or you are not sure what they are, bring it in: cleaning is done at the counter, and we look at the prongs and settings while it is here.
Do you guarantee your jewelry repair work?
Yes. Repairs completed in-store and through our send-out partner are guaranteed against workmanship defects. If a soldered joint, re-tipped prong, or replaced clasp fails under normal wear, bring the piece back and we will correct it at no charge. The guarantee covers our workmanship - it does not cover new damage, loss, or normal wear on other parts of the piece.
What if I decide not to repair the piece?
No problem. There is no obligation. If repair does not make financial sense, we can discuss alternatives such as selling jewelry through Cash for Gold or using valuables for a Pawn Loan.
