Bracelets experience frequent contact and flexing, so wear can develop at hinges, links, clasps and solder joints.
When this repair may be needed
- A link or hinge has failed
- The clasp opens unexpectedly
- A bangle has distorted
- Connections have become thin
How the repair is assessed
Assessment focuses on movement, repeated stress points and whether wear extends beyond the visibly damaged area.
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
Do not continue using a bracelet with an unreliable clasp or damaged hinge, particularly if the piece is valuable or sentimental.
Start with an assessment
If you have a piece that may need bracelet repair, send clear photographs and describe what has happened. We will use those details to identify the most appropriate next step.
