Jewelry Repair

At Maxferd, we offer onsite repair of your jewelry by our expert jewelers as well as special orders on jewelry and timepieces.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING JEWELRY REPAIRS?

Whether you’re restoring an antique watch or repairing an heirloom bracelet, the process will begin with a thorough deep cleaning. By clearing any build-up on the surface of your items, we can gain a better understanding of the necessary repairs. At this stage, we’ll also remove dull spots and restore the former shine of any tarnished metals. Next, our state-of-the-art polishing system will remove minor to moderate scratches.
After we’ve completed the deep cleaning work, your jewelry repair process will be driven by the unique needs of your item. For example, we may need to restring beaded necklaces because threads and wires naturally break down over time from exposure to body oils and perfume, Our certified jewelers can use advanced technology such as computerized engraving machines and laser welders to correct even the smallest imperfections.

THE BENEFITS OF PROFESSIONAL JEWELRY REPAIR

When you’ve made an investment in your jewelry, professional repairs and maintenance can ensure that your items retain their value over time. There is simply no substitute for the craftsmanship of our certified jewelers. While it may seem simple enough to repair a broken necklace clasp, most household tools are not designed for delicate work and they are not well-suited for shaping precious metals (which are known for their softness and malleability). Unfortunately, do-it-yourself repair efforts can often leave behind scratches and other marks in these soft metals.

At Maxferd, our professional jewelers will only use the highest quality materials for your repairs. If you need to replace cracked or missing gemstones, we carefully inspect each replacement to verify that the cut, clarity, and dimensions will match the setting and the surrounding stones. We also rely on an exhaustive verification process to ensure the authenticity of any materials used in our repairs.
