Repair guidance
Bring it in before the damage becomes worse.
Small changes can be early signs that a stone, clasp, chain or setting is under strain. If a piece is catching, rattling, bending or no longer fastening securely, it is worth having it checked before the damage becomes harder to repair.
Our jewellers can inspect the piece in the Melbourne showroom and workshop, explain what needs attention and recommend the right repair approach.
Jewellery repair FAQs
Questions about jewellery repairs?
These answers cover common repair concerns for worn, broken or damaged jewellery.
Do I need an appointment for jewellery repair?
Appointments are recommended so our showroom team can inspect your piece properly and discuss the repair options available.
Can you repair broken chains or clasps?
Yes. Broken chains, worn links, damaged clasps and bracelet fittings can be reviewed and repaired where the construction allows.
Can loose stones be reset?
Loose diamonds or gemstones can often be reset. Our jewellers will check the setting and claws to confirm what is needed to secure the stone.
Can worn claws be repaired?
Yes. Thin, sharp or damaged claws can often be repaired or re-tipped to help hold the stone safely again.
Can white gold be replated?
Yes. White gold jewellery can often be cleaned, polished and rhodium plated to restore a brighter white finish.
How do I know if my jewellery is safe to wear?
If a stone moves, a clasp feels unreliable, a chain feels weak or a setting catches on fabric, bring the piece in before wearing it again.
Can you repair inherited or antique jewellery?
Inherited and antique jewellery can be inspected for repair. If the piece needs more extensive work, the team may recommend restoration instead.
