These days, not all jewellers carry out repairs on their premises. If you want to have a ring resized, gems reset, missing claws replaced, broken chain links or jewellery catches fixed, it’s well worth seeking one out.
You don’t want to put your cherished pieces at any more risk than is absolutely necessary. If you are not keen to put them in the post and send them away for repair, why would you want someone else to do that? Insurance might cover their financial value, but never the sentimental value we tend to attach to precious gifts or items that remind us of special times in our lives.
Sending items by post or courier inevitably involves extra cost, while the time needed for your jewellery to be repaired and returned to you will be longer. But perhaps the greatest risk to your precious articles lies in the number of different pairs of hands they will have to go through before you, hopefully, get them back.
When you find a local jewellery business that has its own workshop attached, you can bet those jewellers are not just in it for the money. They will be passionate about what they do, and feel privileged to work with your precious gems and metals.
If they are members of the National Association of Goldsmiths, they will be fully trained and up to date in how to use the latest available equipment to supplement traditional methods of jewellery repair. Usually they will offer a free consultation to which you can take your sadly broken pieces and find out just what they can do to restore them to their former glory.
So don’t take chances with your precious jewellery items. Investigate your local jewellers and find the one that will treat them with the care they deserve, with an all-in, on-site service.
