My Repair Services Include (but are not limited to):
Please note: I do not repair rings or fine jewellery (ie anything made of gold or other precious metals, or any jewellery set with gemstones).
Please note: minimum repair cost of $20 per item.
Beaded Bracelets (per strand)
Beaded Necklaces (per strand)
For both bracelets and necklaces: materials include stringing medium, findings, clasps, and additional beads if required.
For repair techniques other than basic stringing methods: eg, if macrame, leather cord, crimp spacing, chain etc, repair fees are calculated on an hourly basis.
A Note about Cleaning:
Please expect an additional cleaning charge of at least $10 PER ITEM to be added to the cost of your repairs. It is not always charged but is applicable in most cases.
Almost every piece of costume jewellery that I repair requires some amount of cleaning. Sometimes, a quick wipe down (at no additional cost) is all that's needed, but often, and especially with older or frequently worn items (clip-on earrings and and beaded/pearl necklaces especially), there can be a signifcant accumulation of grime (body lotion, perfume, sweat, skin cells, food, etc) in both hidden (and not so hidden) places that needs to be removed before the repair can even begin.
And, because much of what comes to me for repair is old, fragile, or is in other ways not a suitable candidate for the ultrasonic cleaner, jewellery items often need to be cleaned by hand - which takes time. Sometimes it can take quite a bit of time - most often somewhere between 30 mins and 2 hours.
Workmanship Guarantee
If any item I have repaired breaks again in the same place, or if any parts used in the repair are in any way defective, I will repair the item again at my expense - including the cost of postage.
