Jewellery Repair Services Explained
Reputable jewellery repair workshops in India offer a comprehensive range of services. Here's what to expect and when to use each service:
Making a ring larger (adding metal) or smaller (removing metal and soldering). Most yellow and rose gold rings can be resized 2–3 sizes in either direction. White gold rings need rhodium replating after resizing. Cost: ₹200–₹1,500.
White gold jewellery is plated with rhodium to give it that bright, mirror-white finish. The plating wears off over time (6 months to 2 years). Replating restores the original appearance. Cost: ₹400–₹2,000.
Loose stones are tightened (prong tightening), or stones that have fallen out are replaced in their settings. Also covers upgrading settings (e.g., prong to bezel). Cost: ₹300–₹3,000+ depending on stone.
Replacing worn lobster clasps, fixing broken links, reattaching charms, and restringing pearl or bead necklaces. Cost: ₹100–₹800.
Ultrasonic cleaning removes grime and oils; polishing restores shine to gold and silver. Matte/brushed finishes can also be restored. Cost: ₹150–₹600.
If your old jewellery lacks a BIS hallmark, many certified workshops can arrange hallmarking under the HUID scheme. Cost: ₹35 per item (BIS fee) + workshop charges.
What to Do Before Giving Jewellery for Repair
Take detailed photos of the jewellery from multiple angles before handing it over. This protects you if stones go missing or damage occurs during repair.
Insist that the workshop weighs your piece and records the exact weight (in grams) on the job receipt. Compare weight before and after — legitimate workshops do not short-change metal.
Any repair above ₹500 should come with a written cost estimate. Understand what's included (labour, any replacement metal, new stones if needed).
Simple repairs (clasp, polishing) take 1–3 days. Complex work (resizing, stone setting, full restoration) can take 7–21 days. Get a confirmed collection date in writing.
If stones are set to be replaced, confirm whether you supply the stone or the workshop provides it. Ask to see the replacement stone before it is set.
