Materials: gold and sterling silver; repair options depend on the metal, construction and condition of the piece.
Jewelry Repair
Loose components, worn connections and damaged details do not always mean a piece has reached the end of its life.
After inspecting the construction, I’ll explain which repairs are practical and how they may affect the appearance.
Depending on the damage, work can include soldering, rebuilding or reinforcing a connection, replacing a component, and refinishing the repaired area.
Materials: gold, sterling silver and other precious-metal chains; replacement findings are matched to the piece where possible.
Chain Repair
A fine chain can fail at a link, clasp or soldered joint.
I inspect the damaged area, then repair or replace the affected link or component.
Depending on the chain’s construction, the repair may involve precision soldering or fitting a new clasp.
The aim is to restore the chain’s function while keeping the repair as discreet as possible.
Materials: gold and sterling silver rings; other metals are assessed case by case.
Ring Resizing
A ring should feel secure without feeling like a small engineering challenge every time you take it off.
I assess the band, setting and any stones before deciding whether to enlarge or reduce it.
Depending on the design, resizing may involve cutting and joining the band, adding or removing metal, then shaping and finishing the surface.
Some rings—especially those with stones or intricate details around the band—need a more individual approach.
Materials: gold and sterling silver jewellery, with care tailored to the stones and finish.
Jewelry Cleaning and Refreshing
Everyday wear leaves its mark: dull surfaces, residue and small scratches can take away some of a piece’s clarity.
I assess the metal, finish and stones first, then choose an appropriate cleaning and refreshing method.
This may include careful hand cleaning, polishing or restoring selected details. Not every stone or surface finish should be treated the same way, so the process is chosen for the piece—not applied on autopilot.
Materials: gold-plating solutions, silver-plating solutions and rhodium-plating solutions; suitability is assessed for each piece.
Gold, Silver and Rhodium Plating
A new surface finish can change the way a familiar piece looks.
After checking the base metal and current finish, I prepare the surface and apply the requested plating where the item is suitable for the process.
Options include gold plating, silver plating and rhodium plating. Plating is a surface layer, so its durability depends on the piece, how often it is worn and how it is cared for.
Materials: replacement gemstones selected to suit the design, dimensions and setting; availability and stone options are confirmed before work begins.
Gemstone Replacement
A missing, damaged or unwanted stone can change the whole feel of a piece.
I inspect the setting and measure the space before sourcing or assessing a suitable replacement.
The stone must fit not only visually, but also technically: its dimensions, shape and setting style all matter.
Once agreed, the existing setting is adapted where possible and the new stone is secured.
Materials and deliverables: digital 3D model files or printed model. File formats, level of detail and production requirements are agreed before work begins.
3D Jewelry Modelling for Jewellers
Have a piece in mind, but not the time—or the right setup—to build its 3D model?
I create production-minded digital jewellery models for jewellers, based on your sketch, brief or reference.
We’ll agree on the design, dimensions and technical requirements first; then I’ll build and refine the model so it’s ready for the next agreed step, such as 3D printing or casting.
