Jewellery Repairs & Alterations

At Caledonia & Rose, we believe jewellery should last generations. Whether your favourite piece needs to be resized, repaired, or refreshed; our artisan workshop can restore and rejuvenate your cherished items, making them as beautiful and meaningful as the day you first fell in love with them.

 

What services do we offer?

 

Jewellery Redesign

Sometimes a treasured heirloom doesn’t quite fit your style, so you may want to give a beloved piece a new lease of life. Our redesign service allows the transformation of existing jewellery to evolve into something fresh and personal, whilst retaining the sentimental value of the original. Whether it’s resetting stones into a new design, updating metalwork, or modernising a family piece, we’ll collaborate with you to create a jewel that feels truly personal and unique for you.

 

Ring Resizing

Comfort is key. If your ring is too loose or too tight, we can adjust it precisely. We’ll either add in metal or remove a section of the band, then hand-polish it so that no marks remain. Not sure of your ring size, contact us for a consultation.

 

Claw Re-tipping & Stone Replacement

Over time, metal claws wear down and stones can loosen or even fall out. Our jewellers can rebuild worn claws, replace stones, and match colours and cuts carefully, so your piece looks whole again.

 

Clasp, Link & Chain Repairs

Broken chains or clasps? We can repair or replace them, restoring both function and beauty.

 

Pearl Restringing & Care

The silk or thread holding pearls can stretch or fray. We offer high-quality restringing, alongside cleaning and clasp inspections, to preserve their lustre.

 

Rhodium Plating

Restore the brilliance of your jewellery with our rhodium plating service. Ideal for white gold pieces, rhodium plating renews the bright, reflective finish, enhances durability, and provides a protective coating against scratches and tarnish. A popular way to revive engagement rings and other much-loved pieces.

 

Professional Polishing & Cleaning

Everyday wear leaves scratches, dullness, and residue. Our polishing and ultrasonic cleaning removes surface marks and restores a mirror-like finish. We recommend annual polishing to keep your jewellery sparkling and to catch any wear early.
