Explore Antique Restoration →Repair Before Replace
A workshop approach built around the piece itself.
Jewellery repairs are rarely one-size-fits-all. A worn claw on an everyday diamond ring may need a different approach from a fragile antique setting, while a broken chain or inherited ring may present several repair or redesign options.
We inspect the metal, gemstones, settings, joins and previous repairs before recommending work. Where there are choices — such as preserving an original finish, replacing a worn component or remodelling a piece — we explain them before proceeding.
Our aim is not simply to make jewellery look new. It is to return it secure, wearable and appropriate to its age, design and importance to you.
Bespoke & Remodelling
From treasured jewellery to something made for you.
Our workshop also supports bespoke commissions and jewellery remodelling. Existing gemstones can often be incorporated into a new design, allowing sentimental or inherited jewellery to become something that feels completely personal.
Engagement rings, heirloom redesigns, gemstone-led commissions and individual one-off pieces can all begin with a conversation in our workshop.
