Things you should do before having your jewellery fixed by a jewellery repair workshop

When you need jewellery repair, it's important that you do some preparation first. That way, you can ensure the process goes smoothly and avoid any issues with your jewellery. Here are some of the steps we recommend before visiting Jewellery Clinic - Kelowna, a jewellery repair workshop in Kelowna.

Review the workmanship

When you are choosing a jewellery repair workshop to fix your jewellery, review the workmanship. Look for signs of quality and craftsmanship. Take a close look at the piece, including any stones in it. If there are any cracks or chips in the stone (or other parts of your piece), ask them if they can fix those before bringing your item in for repair. It is important that you know what kind of repairs will be done before having them done on your valuable piece of jewellery as some adjustments may not be able to be made once it has been fixed by someone else. The best way to ensure that you have chosen an experienced and trustworthy jewellery repair workshop is by asking them if they can show examples of their previous work with similar items so that you can see how they handle delicate pieces like yours

Ensure the repair workshop is reputable

Before you take your jewellery to a repair workshop, make sure it's reputable. You can start by checking the reviews of other customers who've had work done there. Many people are hesitant to leave reviews, so if you find a few positive ones that mention the same things (like great service and quality repairs), that's a good sign.

You could also ask for recommendations from friends and family—it might be worth paying attention to what they say about their experiences with certain jewellery repair shops. They may have some insight into what makes a good one.

If you're still not sure about where to go, ask for references from the person who recommended the shop in the first place: if they have any links or phone numbers for satisfied customers, call them up and ask them about their experience at this particular jewellery repair shop! It never hurts to get as much information from others as possible before committing yourself (and your valuables) somewhere new!

Clean your jewellery

Lightly clean your jewellery before bringing it to a jewellery repair workshop. Use mild soap and water for all types of materials, including gold, silver, platinum, and gemstones. For emeralds and other types of precious stones that require special care, you will need to use specialized cleaning solutions or cloths.

If your jewellery is tarnished or rusted, you can remove the tarnish with a polishing cloth. There are also some cleaning solutions specifically designed for removing rust from metal surfaces like gold or silver; however, these should be used carefully as they may damage softer metals like sterling silver if they're not applied correctly.

Take a photo of it beforehand

Taking a photo of your jewellery is important because it makes it much easier to compare the original piece to the repaired one. If you're using a camera, make sure it isn't too close when taking photos of your jewellery. A selfie stick will distort the images, and if you use too much flash on your camera or phone, that can also affect how things look in photos.

You may also want to take several different shots from different angles and lighting conditions so that there's more than one version of each section of your piece (for example, one shot with flash for metals, and another without for gems).

Doing these things before having a jewellery repair workshop fix your jewellery can help everything go smoothly and avoid issues.

  • Review the workmanship. If you're getting a piece of jewellery fixed, it's a good idea to check it out beforehand. Look at each piece closely, and make sure all of the stones are still in place, that there aren't any dents or scratches on the metalwork, and that everything is polished smoothly.

  • Ensure the repair workshop is reputable. Make sure they've been around for a while and have an established reputation in your local community as being trustworthy and reliable.

  • Clean your jewellery before handing it over for repairs—this will help ensure that your pieces don't get damaged while they're being worked on or cleaned by someone else!

Jewellery repair workshops are a simple way to fix your jewellery. They can also help you find a new look for an old piece, or repair something that has been damaged by normal wear and tear.
