Who does our repairs?
Our Workshop
We have equipment to size rings, solder gold and silver, and polish jewellery to a high standard. Simple repairs can be done on our premises, however our staff are very busy so often we send work to outside contractors. Because our staff know how to do repairs we can ensure outside contractors are working to the highest standard.

Outside Contractors
These are carefully selected, their prices are fair and they
are excellent craftsmen. Mostly they work in major jewellery
centres, so they have much better access to other suppliers than
we have. For instance if we want to buy a diamond to repair a
ring it has to be done through the post; they can walk to a
nearby dealer!
Also they can easily subcontract some of the work, if others have the necessary skills. Our network of
contractors ensures you get the best possible results at the most
economical price.
It May Cost Less Than You Expect!
We hear reports that some multiple stores are charging high prices
for repairs. These stores are often more interested in
selling new jewellery, and are less efficient than independents when handling repairs.
We believe that repairs are part of our overall service,
so we keep our prices at reasonable levels. This does not mean
that our workmanship is inferior; rather this is a field where we
can compete effectively with large stores. We love jewellery and
want you to continue wearing the jewellery you love. Do contact
an independent jeweller before deciding you cannot justify the
cost of getting your jewellery repaired.
