Repairs & Alterations
Most pieces of jewellery at some point during their life will need to be repaired, altered or just cleaned and refinished to give them a much needed new lease of life.
I offer a full jewellery repairs service in my workshop. The jewellery which comes to me is treated in a secure and professional manner. Jewellery is firstly inspected while the client is present if possible so that the customer is fully aware of the work that needs to be carried out and the cost involved. An assessment is also made of whether there are any additional problem areas that may need attention, then or in the future.
