Resizing
Often when rings don’t fit, they are placed away in a jewellery box and forgotten. So, if you have a family heirloom that’s not your size or your ring size has changed, we can help.
Our experienced team can measure your finger so that we can adjust your ring size up or down for a more comfortable fit. Even if its due to health and age reasons we have plenty of options. Please visit our store for advice on ring resizing.
Re-tipping
Losing a gemstone out of a piece of jewellery can be avoided. If you notice the claws on your jewellery are becoming loose, then its best it has it checked before a gemstone or diamond falls out. We advise that claw tipping should be checked on a regular basis, simply by looking and feeling for sharp or rough edges, which is an indication of loose claws. If you are unsure our highly skilled team will be able to check this for you and ensure that the stones are kept secure. We would especially recommend checking jewellery that is worn on a daily basis.
Necklace, Bracelet and Link Repairs
Sometimes clasps become broken due to wear or chains can snap and it is often assumed that they cannot be fixed, which is not true. Our trained team can advise on chain and link repairs, whether it is your favourite necklace, bracelet or a family heirloom, our trained goldsmiths will always complete the work to the highest standards. So don’t discard your old necklaces and bracelets, as they can be fixed and enjoyed again.
Diamond and Gemstone Replacement
Over time, gemstones can become loose and as a result may fall out, or you simply want a replacement or upgrade. We have a gemmologist on hand who can source the finest gemstones and diamonds for you. So, if you are looking to replace a lost stone or upcycle an old piece of jewellery we can help.
Re-threading of pearls and other beaded jewellery
Pearls are a timeless classic which sometimes require maintenance and care. We can re-string cultured pearls, freshwater pearls and simulated beads in a single or multiple rows.
