LaserStar

Jess Jewelers is commited to providing the best experience to our customers. To help us accomplish that, we now offer many jewelry repairs while you wait. With our new LaserStar welding system, we can do repairs that would normally take days in just a couple of hours (less in most cases). We can even do eyeglass repairs too! Below is some information on our new LASER system. Take a look and then stop by and let us take care of all your jewelry needs.

Lasers can be used to fill porosity, re-tip platinum or gold prong settings, repair bezel settings, repair/resize rings and bracelets without removing stones and correct manufacturing defects. Laser welding reconfigures the molecular structure of either similar or dissimilar metals at the point of welding, allowing the two common alloys to become one.

LASER is an acronym for “Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation.” This technology produces a sharply focused beam of hot light that melts a very small area of metal and can be used to join similar or dissimilar alloys. The welding process can be performed quickly (normally in milliseconds) and does not scar or blemish the welding surface. In fact, by adjusting the laser’s beam diameter, a smooth, near polished finish can be achieved with the laser. Since very little heat is generated at the weld point, users can easily weld 0.10mm away from the most complicated and intricate jewelry pieces including heat-sensitive stones.
