Types of Jewellery Repairs
Clasp & Chain Repairs
Chain repairs are essential for maintaining the integrity and functionality of necklaces, bracelets, and other chain-based jewellery pieces. Over time, chains can become weakened or damaged due to wear and tear, resulting in broken links, kinks, or twists.
Re-tipping Ring Claws
Re-tipping ring claws is an essential process in maintaining the integrity and durability of rings, particularly those adorned with precious gemstones. Over time, the claws or prongs that hold the stones in place can become worn down or damaged, posing a risk of the gemstones becoming loose or falling out entirely.
Re-faceting Diamonds
Re-faceting diamonds involves the meticulous process of enhancing a diamond's cut to optimise its brilliance, fire, and overall appearance. Through precise grinding and polishing, facets are reshaped to achieve a more symmetrical and proportionate alignment, maximising light reflection within the stone.
Ring Re-sizing
Jewellery re-sizing involves making your piece of jewellery smaller or larger to ensure a comfortable fit. Whether it's adjusting the size up or down, skilled artisans use specialised tools and techniques to carefully resize jewellery without compromising their structural integrity or aesthetic appeal.
Rhodium Plating
Rhodium, a rare and precious metal, is electroplated onto the surface of items made from materials like silver, gold, or platinum. This plating creates a bright, reflective finish that gives the jewellery a polished and luxurious appearance.
Re-setting Rings
Resetting rings refers to the process of adjusting or repositioning the settings or stones in a ring to restore its appearance and structural integrity. This may involve tightening loose stones, fixing scratches or dents, or replacing it with a new style of setting.
Jewellery Cleaning & Polishing
Professional jewellery cleaning and polishing is a vital service that helps restore the brilliance and shine of precious pieces. Over time, jewellery can accumulate dirt and oils from daily wear, which can dull its appearance and diminish its beauty. With expert care and attention to detail, professional jewellery cleaning not only enhances the lustre of the pieces but also helps maintain their value and longevity.
Jewellery Re-modelling
Jewellery re-modelling is a process that involves adapting or changing part of your jewellery. Whether it's repurposing heirloom pieces into contemporary settings, resizing rings for a perfect fit, or incorporating sentimental elements into a fresh design, jewellery re-modelling offers a sustainable and sentimental approach to giving a fresh life to your jewellery.
Bespoke Jewellery
Bespoke jewellery refers to custom-made pieces crafted specifically to the individual's preferences, style, and specifications. Unlike mass-produced jewellery, bespoke pieces are unique and one-of-a-kind, tailored to the customer's desires. This personalised approach allows for creativity and individuality, as you will work closely with our skilled artisans to design a piece that reflects your personality and story.
