Using lasers to carry out repair or restorative work on rings, necklaces, bracelets, chains and other jewelry made of precious materials is durable and aesthetically pleasing thanks to the [specific](https://www.elettrolaser.com/en/blog/the-characteristics-of-laser-welding?hsLang=en)  
[properties of this technology that allow you to make flawless welds.](https://www.elettrolaser.com/en/blog/the-characteristics-of-laser-welding?hsLang=en)

In fact, repairing jewelry with a laser beam permit to reach all components of the jewelry, regardless  
of position, shape or thickness, for all sorts of interventions. Lasers can therefore reach areas of the  
jewel that are difficult to reach with other welding systems.

Additionally, lasers allow you to act very selectively on jewellery, as the beam's shot diameter is  
very small and can be adapted to the specific needs of each intervention. In this way, the surface  
that is heated and melted by the laser beam is very limited, allowing the creation of invisible welds  
while avoiding possible damage to the gemstone.

Another advantage is the easy handling of the laser to reach each part of the jewel in a punctual and  
safe manner that means the possibility to carry out welding operations without removing the gem  
set in the jewel.

In fact, when working with traditional welding techniques such as micro-flaming, it may be necessary  
to remove the gem from the jewel to avoid damaging it and to enjoy freedom of movement during  
repair.

However, removing set stones is not a risk-free process. Even with the utmost care, there is always  
the possibility of damaging the stone during removal. At worst, it can even happens to break stones.  
Even if the procedure is carried out without damage, the process can take a considerable amount of  
time, especially when removing many small gemstones.

For all these reasons, it is always better to avoid removing gems unless absolutely necessary. Lasers  
have proven to be a great ally in this sense. In fact, laser welders can be easily adjusted in terms of  
frequency, power and size of the focal diameter, so they can be very precisely positioned on the  
specific location of the jewel you wish to treat. It can act on easily in close proximity to gemstones or  
in hard-to-reach places.

For this reason, the use of [lasers in the jewelry sector](https://www.elettrolaser.com/en/blog/welding-machines-and-laser-markers-for-goldsmiths-workshops-thats-all-they-allow-you-to-do?hsLang=en) can significantly reduce processing  
times. Laser welding itself is a very fast process and the use of lasers also avoids manual intervention  
in series production such as not removing gems from their site, operation that can cause a significant  
increase in intervention time.
