Necklace restringing is an option when a favourite bead necklace breaks.
I can offer this service for all types of jewellery repairs and with prices from only £5 you can afford to get that broken piece of jewellery
repaired or altered.

Some high street jewellery shops charge high prices to repair jewellery. I don't ! I use a material called *Soft Flex' for most jewellery repairs and restringing.It consists of 19-49 strands of steel wire coated in nylon.

This material is very long lasting and can hold even large heavy beads safely.In addition I can restring an old bead necklace in a contemporary style shortening or lengthening it if needed.

How to send your jewellery repairs

1.email or phone me (01579 350055) first so we can discuss the repair

2.post jewellery using special delivery or recorded delivery to:Rebecca Coombes,1 West Burraton, St Dominick, Saltash, PL12 6ST

3.payment for necklace restringing can be made after the work is completed or a cheque can be included when sending beads but please add return postage.

How often does a necklace need restringing?

Pearls knotted on silk or cotton thread every 3 months to 1 year for average ( 5 times weekly wear) Silk thread stretches over time and the space between knots lengthen

Bracelets and necklaces strung on soft leather or suede thread as above..

Sharp crystal or gemstone beads every year but if beads are 'remmed' can be longer.

Valuable beads should always be knotted in case the string breaks and any are lost

.I am able to source most types of antique/ethnic beads for repair work.
I can use silk or linen threads for stringing pearls and other gemstone beads.

Customer's responses after receiving necklaces

Many thanks for doing such a good job on my necklace - I thought your choice of beads to extend it was ideal, and I'm very pleased with the result. GT

"I would like to thank you very much for such excellent service.The necklace was not expensive but meant a lot to me" CW

"Thank you very much for my necklace that arrived on Saturday. It fits perfectly and I am thrilled with it." MD

"Necklace etc arrived safely this morning and I am extremely satisfied. You have done a beautiful job very quickly indeed and it all looks marvellous.I am especially pleased with the bracelet as I wondered at first whether it was really possible". DPJ

"You have done a superb job at a great price and the little clasp on the bracelet is just the ticket, as well as the addition of the tiny silver beads on the necklace. I am going to see my mother this weekend and am taking all the items with me so she can see that I am now able to wear the garnets that belonged to her grandmother".

"Also really like the little jade horse brooch and have put it on my black coat, where it stands out beautifully". HE
