Specialist Repairs
Some pieces of jewellery require a more specialist touch, and our extensive professional network allows us to ensure that your piece is seen by the relevant expert. Such as gemstone cutting and polishing, antique jewellery restoration, enamel repairs, pearl stringing and opal repairs.
Engraving
We offer an engraving service for silver, gold and semi-precious stones. Our engravers can translate even the most complex image into an engraving suitable for the item in question.
- Seal engravings for signet rings or cufflinks are hand carved by extraordinarily gifted individuals - a dying art in these modern times. This is a deeper engraving, traditionally in reverse, and may be suitable for a family crest or monogram.
- Surface engravings are slightly more shallow, primarily used for text inscriptions and some crests. These can be done by hand or by machine.
Watch Repairs
We are able to provide the following watch and timepiece services:
- Watch battery replacement
- Pocket watch repairs
- Watch servicing
Valuation
It is worth noting that different types of valuations will produce a different numerical value, as they have a different purpose. We can assist you with valuations for:
- Insurance (replacement value)
- Probate (scrap value)
These involve detailed descriptions of the item, including stone measurement and assessment, and therefore cannot be produced ‘on the spot’. Valuations are £35 + 1% the total item value, and if we are renewing a previous valuation it is £35 + 1% value difference.
