Jewellery remake & repair in the North East for those who don't want loose their jewellery

With gold and silver prices where they are, plenty of people across the North East are digging out the odd earring, the snapped chain and the ring that no longer fits, and heading straight for the nearest scrap merchant.

We understand the temptation. But scrap is the lowest price your jewellery will ever fetch. You’re paid on weight alone — nothing for the craftsmanship, nothing for the stones, and nothing for the fact that it was your mother’s. Once it’s melted, that’s the end of the story.

There is another option

A local jewellery remake turns metal you’ll never wear into something you’ll wear every day. That heavy 9ct chain becomes a bracelet. Three worn-out rings become one. A brooch nobody has pinned on since 1987 becomes a pendant your daughter will actually ask to borrow.

The same goes for silver. It’s often written off as barely worth weighing in, yet it redesigns beautifully and keeps the piece in the family rather than in a smelter.

Your stones are worth far more than the setting

This is where scrapping really costs people. Diamonds, sapphires, opals and pearls are usually valued at nothing on a scrap counter, but they’re frequently the most valuable part of the piece. We remove, clean and reset them into a design that suits how you live now.

Worn claws, thin shanks and stones sitting loose are all everyday jewellery repair jobs — and they’re worth sorting before a stone goes missing rather than after.

Come and see the workshop

Everything happens on the premises. Your jewellery isn’t posted off to a faceless workshop hundreds of miles away and returned three weeks later; it stays here, with the goldsmith doing the work. If you want to find out more about how our customers feel about our jewellery workshop

That’s the real benefit of choosing a local jewellery rebuild — you can stand at the bench, talk through the design, handle the metal and see exactly what’s possible before you commit to anything.

So bring it in. Empty the drawer into a bag, pop into the shop and let’s have a proper look at what you’ve got. You may well walk out with something far better than a weight in scrap. If you want to book in click here on our enquiry form
