Repairs & Restringing: Restoring Beauty, Preserving History

At Thomas Glover, we understand that your jewellery carries more than just aesthetic value—it holds memories, emotions, and often, family history. Our comprehensive repair and restringing services are designed to restore your precious pieces to their former glory, ensuring they continue to be cherished for generations to come.

With Andrew's background as a fully trained goldsmith, we bring an unparalleled level of expertise to every repair job. Our deep understanding of jewellery construction, particularly antique pieces, allows us to approach each repair with the precision and care it deserves.

We take pride in our specialisation in antique jewellery restoration. Our team's extensive knowledge of historical jewellery-making techniques enables us to faithfully restore period pieces while maintaining their integrity and value.

Our services include:

• Ring sizing: Ensuring your rings fit perfectly for comfort and security.

• Stone replacement: Carefully sourcing and setting replacement gemstones.

• Pearl restringing: Revitalising your pearl necklaces and bracelets.

• Watch repair: Addressing both mechanical and aesthetic issues in timepieces.

• Clasp repair and replacement: Ensuring your jewellery fastens securely.

• Ring repairs: Securing loose stones and preventing loss.

• Professional  cleaning: Restoring the sparkle and shine to your pieces.

Our pearl restringing service deserves special mention. We use high-quality silk thread and expert knotting techniques to ensure your pearls are secure, well-spaced, and hang beautifully.

While we handle many repairs in-house, we also collaborate with a carefully curated network of highly skilled goldsmiths and specialists. This ensures that each piece is repaired by an expert in that specific type of work.

For antique and valuable pieces, our restoration work aims to preserve or even enhance the item's value. We always strive to maintain the original character and craftsmanship of the piece.

We begin each repair project with a thorough consultation, providing you with a detailed assessment and estimate. We'll explain the repair process, discuss any potential challenges, and offer our professional recommendations.

​

Every repaired piece undergoes rigorous quality checks before being returned to you. We ensure that not only is the specific issue addressed, but that the entire piece meets our high standards.

Upon completing your repair, we'll provide you with advice on how to care for your jewellery to prevent future damage and maintain its beauty.
