There comes a time in the life of a lot of
jewellery that the item becomes damaged and in
need of repair. Sometimes, the damage is minor so
you can get it fixed relatively simply, and with
less expense. However, there are times when it is
not economically viable to repair the jewellery
which leaves you with something that you can no
longer wear. So, what do you do?

FINDING THE PROBLEM

• The first thing that you will need to do before
  you can make a decision as to what to do with
  your damaged jewellery is to find out what the
  problem is. When you know the issue that you are
  dealing with, then you get weigh up the viability
  of having the item repaired, or consider other
  options that you have available. In the first
  instance you should speak to well-known jewellers
  like Kalmar Antiques, who will be able to list
  your available options, as well as offer you a
  quote for repairs.

MAKING REPAIRS

• If you do decide that you wish to repair your
  jewellery, then it is important that you shop
  around and get as many different quotes as you
  can. Although the cost of the previous metals to
  repair an item of jewellery may be very similar,
  the standard of the craftsmanship as well as the
  cost of the repairs will vary between different
  jewellers.

SELLING FOR SCRAP

• One of the best options available to you is to
  sell your broken and unwanted jewellery for
  scrap. If the jewellery is costume jewellery,
  then it is highly unlikely that you will get a
  lot for it. However, if your jewellery is made
  from precious metals and stones, then you may be
  able to get a wad of cash for your rings with
  exceptional style.

REUSE AND REPURPOSE YOUR JEWELLERY

• An excellent idea available to you is to
  repurpose your jewellery to something different
  which will allow you to use the broken pieces and
  not leave them gathering dust. You can make a
  bracelet from your broken earrings, or you can
  use a brooch to embellish packaging on a present
  that you are giving. You can also use your
  jewellery in floral arrangements to provide
• them with some panache
• and style.

SELL YOUR BROKEN JEWELLERY IN A PRIVATE SALE

• Rather than selling your jewellery for scrap, you
  may be able to find a buyer for it, who is
  willing to put the time and effort in to repair
  the piece. You may be able to sell to a friend or
  a family member, or you may also find a buyer
  online after placing an advert. There are many
  ways that you can seek a buyer for your unwanted
  shiny jewellery.

Whatever you do with your jewellery, it is
important that you know just how much it is worth
before you throw or give it away, or even sell
it. If you decide to use the services of a
company to buy your items, then make sure that
you shop around and get as many quotes as
possible. There is no reason to leave your broken
and unwanted jewellery in a draw or cupboard when
you can repurpose it, or even sell it for some
quick cash. For those sentimental pieces, though,
you may wish to repair them and make them into a
family heirloom!
