Chain Repair
Expert Chain Repair: Necklaces, Bracelets, and Clasps
We can seamlessly repair most broken gold, silver, and platinum chains and bracelets, as well as replace broken clasps. Repair costs vary based on the design, material, and specific items that need to be fixed or replaced. The simplest chain repairs, such as fixing snapped necklaces or replacing and soldering lost jump rings, typically cost between $30 and $50, depending on the metal and design. On average, the cost of repairing more intricate and complex chain designs, such as rope and hollow rope necklaces, as well as higher-karat gold and platinum necklaces, ranges from $50 to $100.
The cost to replace broken gold and platinum clasps varies depending on their size, weight, and type of gold. We invite you to visit our store to inquire about specific pricing for your chain. Simple repairs can often be completed by the next business day, while typical repair times range from 2 to 3 days. Some more complicated repairs may take up to one week. Rush chain and necklace repairs (completed on the same business day) start at $50 per piece.
A Few Notes on Hollow and Plated Chains/Necklace:
Hollow gold chains, such as hollow rope chains, can be repaired just like regular chains. However, please keep in mind that repairing them will cost more than fixing standard chains due to the complex techniques and high level of expertise required to ensure a clean repair.
Hollow chains often break multiple times, typically at different points. We want our customers to be informed about this before proceeding with repairs, as the cost remains consistent for each repair. Please note that we do not offer discounts for repeat repairs of the same necklace, as each repair requires equal time and labor.
As a friendly piece of advice, we generally recommend against repairing worn-out hollow chains, as they are highly prone to breaking again. Instead, we suggest considering the purchase of a new, solid-link chain necklace. However, we are certainly ready to help fix your chain if you choose to proceed.
Gold-plated silver necklace chains can also be repaired. However, please be aware that these pieces may experience slight discoloration at the soldered spot after the repair. While we will do our best to ensure a quality repair, it is possible that the plating may wear off due to the heat applied during the soldering process, and please note that we are unable to re-plate necklaces if this occurs.
