Jewellery Repairs
Restoring Your Treasured Pieces with Care and Craftsmanship
At Tatham Jewellers, we understand that jewellery is rarely “just jewellery”. It represents love, family, milestones and memories.
With over 50 years of combined experience, Mr and Mrs Tatham have dedicated their careers to carrying out delicate and intricate jewellery repairs with the utmost respect for each piece and full awareness of how special it is to its owner.
All repairs are undertaken with traditional craftsmanship, careful attention to detail, and a commitment to preserving both the integrity and sentiment of every item entrusted to us.
Ring Repairs
Rings naturally experience daily wear and, over time, may require professional attention.
Resizing
Whether due to life changes or comfort, rings can be expertly sized up or down while maintaining strength and symmetry.
Prong Re-tipping & Replacement
The fine claws holding gemstones can wear thin over time. We carefully rebuild or replace prongs to secure stones safely and discreetly.
Shank Repairs
The band of a ring may thin or crack with years of wear. We can strengthen, rebuild or replace sections of the shank to restore durability without compromising design.
Reshaping
Rings that have become misshapen are carefully restored to their original round form.
Necklace & Bracelet Repairs
Chain Repairs
Fine chains can break through accidental strain. We carry out precise soldering repairs to restore strength and appearance.
Clasp Replacement
Worn or unreliable clasps are replaced to ensure security and ease of wear.
Pearl & Bead Restringing
Pearls and beads are professionally restrung using appropriate materials to maintain drape, security and longevity.
Stone & Setting Repairs
Stone Tightening
Loose gemstones are carefully secured to prevent loss.
Stone Replacement
Should a stone be lost, we source high-quality replacements to match the original as closely as possible, particularly in sentimental or antique pieces.
Re-setting & Setting Repairs
Damaged settings can be rebuilt or remade to ensure long-term security while respecting the original craftsmanship.
Restoration & Finishing
Rhodium Plating
White gold jewellery can be professionally re-plated to restore its bright finish.
Polishing & Refinishing
Surface scratches and signs of wear are carefully removed, reviving the piece while preserving its character.
Engraving Restoration
Sentimental engravings can be deepened or refreshed where they have faded over time.
Earring Repairs
Bent or broken posts are replaced, and secure backs provided to ensure comfort and safety.
Preventative Care
We strongly recommend periodic inspections — particularly for engagement and frequently worn rings — to check for loose stones, worn claws or weakened areas before they develop into more serious issues.
Professional cleaning and inspection not only preserves appearance but protects sentimental and financial value.
Our Promise
At Tatham Jewellers, every repair is approached with patience, skill and discretion. We do not believe in quick fixes for treasured pieces — only careful, considered craftsmanship carried out to the highest standard.
With over five decades of experience, Mr and Mrs Tatham continue to provide a level of personal service and traditional jewellery repair that is increasingly rare.
