I do some repairs - I work within my limits and the equipment I have available.
Please contact me and I will help if I can, but I will say if I don't think I can do the job.

I can often, for example:

• straighten bent items
• replace combs
• convert single earrings to necklaces
• repair broken joints
• stretch rings

I can't:

• retip stone settings
• replace bands on engagement rings

Whilst I will take great care of item given to me, I do not accept any responsibility for additional damage or breakage as I attempt the repair. I will ask you to confirm you agree to this by signing a form you can download here.

Before		After
	What you see to the left is a cast bracelet which was too small, but of personal value to the owner, who wishes to be able to wear it.  I copied the pattern using delft clay casting and inserted a 10 mm section which you can see on the right.  One satisfied owner!
	When the recipient of a medal died, sometime the widow had it made into a brooch.  I have done a number of exercises to regenerate the medal.  My customer provides the components - bars and suspenders as appropriate to the owner of the medal - and I reassemble it. Just below for an example where I worked on the medal too.
	This medal had been 'converted' to a brooch. I removed the debris and fixed a new suspender that had been made elsewhere.
	These show one of set of silver goblets that had been damaged in transit that I restored.
	The cork on the left had snapped and been glued together, but I replaced the cork completely.
	The owner of the ring on the left had worn off the plating. I created a very similar looking ring entirely of fine silver. Fine silver is soft, so with continual use it will wear away, but it won't change colour.
	This silver watch strap had worn through in a couple of places. Some careful soldering restore it to good working order.
	This comb was lacking some teeth, though it had more than shown here. The owner provided a new comb. I removed the old one and fitted the new.
	This whistle had been caught in a door jamb and was crushed. I managed to remove most of the damage, though it didn't whistle - at least I couldn't hear it, but I am losing my high frequency response.

	This beautiful peridot had fallen out of the original claw setting. The owner disliked the claw setting as it tended to catch on things. I replaced the claw setting with a bezel setting.
	A simple case of shortening two chains to allow this cartouche to sit at the desired height. I used the surplus chain to make matching earrings.
