Repairs & Modifications

Remodeling & Restoration

We specialize in remodeling and restoring jewellery; ensuring that all your personal jewels are the right fit and style for you. Repairs, resizing and modifications on all precious jewellery are done under one roof with love and care.

Repairs

Nothing lasts forever without a little TLC now and then. We can repair any gold, silver or platinum jewellery, including earrings, rings, pendants, chains, bracelets and bangles. Unfortunately though, we do not repair watches. We always try to be honest, however, and there will come a point where it is best to either replace or remake a piece rather than to keep patching and repairing it. When this happens, we can reuse the original metal and stones and so keep the sentiment alive.

Resizing (Rings & Bangles)

Any gold, silver or platinum ring or bangle can be resized up to a point, though changing it by more than 3 sizes might not be possible in some cases. If the piece has gemstones it is important to know what they are and we would always need to inspect the piece in person before we can be sure whether it can be resized. Likewise rings with enamel inlay generally cannot be soldered on and this limits what can be done to resize them.

Resetting and retipping

Over time you may find that stones come loose due to wear and tear on the setting. Sometimes it is a simple matter of tightening the existing setting. However, if the claws of a setting have worn thin, we can retip/replace them and so extend the lifespan of the piece. Even if the setting is beyond repair, we can usually remove it and replace it with a brand new setting, keeping with the style of the original or altering it to suit your current tastes.

Modifications

Do you have a sentimental piece that you’d like to add to or that just isn’t quite your style anymore? Just tell us what you have in mind and we will design something to give it a brand new look, while keeping its sentimentality.
