This is a list of common repairs performed on a regular basis onsite in my Ottawa workshop. I'm proud of 30+ years of experience in repairing, refurbishing and refinishing jewellery. I've spent literally thousands of hours performing these tasks. I have a good sense of what's possible and what isn't. If I can't repair something I will explain to you why not. Estimates are free. All repairs are performed in house, by me, the person you will talk to about the job. There is no middle man or shipping of jewellery involved. I'm trusted by many people when it comes to dealing with precious, valuable or sentimental pieces.
