The 5 Most Common Jewellery Repairs — and How We Fix Them
Introduction
Jewellery isn’t just an accessory — it’s often a memory, a gift, or a family heirloom. Over time, even the most treasured pieces can need expert care. At Jewellery Clinic, we specialise in restoring jewellery to its former glory, all through our secure repairs-by-post service.
In this article, we reveal the five most common jewellery repairs we carry out, along with how our skilled team brings each piece back to life.
1. Ring Resizing (jewellery repairs for rings)
Your perfect ring may no longer fit due to changes in finger size over time.
How we fix it: Our expert jewellers carefully cut and adjust the band, adding or removing metal as needed, then polish it so the resize is seamless and invisible.
2. Clasp Replacement (fixing broken necklace or bracelet clasps)
A faulty clasp can make your favourite necklace or bracelet unwearable.
How we fix it: We replace the damaged clasp with a durable, high-quality match that complements your jewellery’s style while keeping it secure.
3. Stone Resetting (loose stone repair and replacement)
Loose or missing stones can be heart-breaking — and risky if not fixed promptly.
How we fix it: We tighten or rebuild the setting to hold the stone firmly. If the stone is missing, we source a perfect replacement to match.
4. Chain Repairs (repair broken or kinked jewellery chains)
Delicate chains can break or kink easily, making them unsafe to wear.
How we fix it: Our jewellers solder broken links, strengthen weak areas, and straighten kinks — leaving the repair practically invisible.
5. Jewellery Cleaning & Polishing (professional jewellery restoration)
Even if your jewellery isn’t broken, it can lose its sparkle over time.
How we fix it: Using professional cleaning, ultrasonic baths, and gentle polishing, we restore shine, remove tarnish, and reduce the appearance of scratches.
