How To Do Costume Jewelry Repair

By Nita McKinney


As time goes by, the treasured jewellery that one once had gets old. By oldness, we mean maybe some stones falling off or fading. This makes the owner of it lose interest in it even if they loved it so much. However this is not necessary since this pieces of art can be mend. There are different shops that offer costume jewelry repair at certain costs. After they have been mend, the piece of item returns its glamour as though it were new.

An example of repair to jewellery involves soldering broken necklaces and bracelets. This is done on say a broken bracelet whereby it is put back to place and becomes whole again. They also offer electroplating services. It returns the shiny nature of the jewellery. In case stone had fallen off, they are usually replaced.

There are times that re-manufacturing is actually called for. This is a step that is taken because some of them are made as pairs. It is therefore to manufacture the missing pair so as to make the jewellery whole again. Care should however be taken for one not to come up with the exact material, they should look for them carefully.

So as to avoid confusion, the repairing company will always contact the owner of the item to establish some things. One of them is what the material is made of. They have to know this so that they do not inconvenience their customers. They also have to confirm with the customers what the price of the material is at the moment. This prepares them for the costs involved.

Restyling of the costume items is the other thing that can be done. They have to consult the owner before dong this. By restyling it, they make it look different from what the original one looked like. This is however only done whereby the original piece is actually irreparable.

Selling them after repair is a choice made by some people. However it only happens in certain situations like where one loved the piece of art no more. The other situation is where they needed the money direly and then only source would be by selling them. It could also be possible for one to sell the old ones in order to get new ones.

In such situations, one can either choose to repair them then sell them to a gold smith in case they were made of gold. They could also choose the simplest way which is to sell it to the repairer himself. In such situations, they can either sell them before they are repaired, or let them be repaired first then sell it to make more money out of it.

Lastly, it is notable that almost everyone loves jewellery. It is therefore very unfair to 'throw' the ones that have lost their glamour away from the ones that you love at the moment. Repairing them can be the best step that one can take since it is even cheap. If the jewellery is in a very bad state, then this is where the costume jewelry repair becomes more costly. Just repair it though, for selling or for wearing it again.
