Our Most Popular Repairs

A ring should fit comfortably and securely. Whether your ring needs to be made larger or smaller, our experienced goldsmith can resize most gold, platinum and silver rings while maintaining their original appearance.

Yellow and rose gold ring resizing starts from £110, with white gold resizing from £125.

Broken chains, damaged clasps and worn jump rings are among the most common repairs we undertake. Many soldering and chain repairs can even be completed with our same-day service, helping you get back to wearing your favourite jewellery as quickly as possible.

Prices start from £20.

Over time, jewellery naturally becomes dull through everyday wear. Our professional cleaning service restores sparkle by removing built up dirt and polishing precious metals.

White gold jewellery can also be replated with rhodium, restoring its bright white finish and helping it look like new again.

Pearls should be restrung periodically to prevent the silk thread from weakening. We carefully restring pearl necklaces and bracelets using high-quality thread, with optional knotting between every pearl to improve durability and protect against loss should the strand ever break.

Pearl restringing starts from £55.

Add a personal touch with our professional engraving service. Whether it's initials, a meaningful date or a heartfelt message, engraving transforms jewellery into a unique keepsake that's treasured for years to come.

We can engrave jewellery purchased from Judith Hart Jewellers as well as items bought elsewhere.

Engraving starts from £25.

Yes. We repair broken gold, silver and platinum chains, replacing or soldering damaged links and clasps wherever possible. Our aim is to restore your chain so the repair is both secure and as discreet as possible.


As a general guide, pearl necklaces worn regularly should be restrung every one to two years. Over time, the thread naturally weakens through wear. We professionally restring pearls using high quality thread and can knot between each pearl for added security.

We can source and replace diamonds and a wide variety of precious and semi-precious gemstones. We also check and rebuild worn claws where necessary to ensure your stones remain secure.
