Necklaces may combine several components, so a reliable repair often requires checking more than the point where failure occurred.
When this repair may be needed
- A chain or link has broken
- The clasp no longer closes securely
- A pendant fitting is worn
- A strung or linked section has failed
How the repair is assessed
We consider the whole load path of the necklace, including connections, clasp, jump rings and any pendant fittings.
What can affect the work required?
Metal type, construction, previous repairs, stone settings, wear, access to the damaged area and the finish required can all change the correct repair method. Photographs are useful for an initial assessment, but some pieces need physical inspection before a firm quotation is possible.
Care after repair
Check clasps and connecting rings periodically, particularly on heavier or valuable necklaces.
Start with an assessment
If you have a piece that may need necklace repair, send clear photographs and describe what has happened. We will use those details to identify the most appropriate next step.
