Repairs & Alterations
From our jewellery workshop in Leighton Buzzard, we carry out all sorts of repairs and alterations to old and new jewellery, even if you think your jewellery might be beyond repair.
Scroll down to see if we provide the service you’re looking for, and if not, contact us, either by using the button below, by email at info@sajewellers.co.uk, or by phone to speak directly to one of our team.
Re-sizing
Whatever the reason your ring doesn’t fit anymore, don’t let it become the reason why you stop wearing it. Here at Stephen Alan’s Jewellers in Leighton Buzzard, we regularly resize rings, whether it’s to make them smaller or larger, without affecting the overall integrity.
Polishing
Over time, jewellery becomes scratched, and loses its shine. By getting us to professionally polish your jewellery at our Leighton Buzzard workshop, you’ll see it’s original, deep shine return, and, if it’s white gold, we’ll reapply its rhodium plating, to really bring it back to its former glory.
Re-threading
Your pearl or beaded necklace is precious, but over time the thread used to hold the pearls or beads in place, becomes worn, and prone to breaking. To prevent this happening, at our Leighton Buzzard jewellery workshop, we provide a rethreading and restringing service, making sure your necklace looks its best for a long time to come.
Engraving...
Hand Engraving
Hand engraving is a centuries old craft, and a dying artform, that we keep alive in our Leighton Buzzard workshop. Carried out using a series of handheld tools, our skilled engraver carefully scribes the text, image or pattern directly onto the precious metal, creating an effect unmatched by machine.
Machine Engraving
This is where the item is clamped into a machine, and a template is followed, adding the desired pattern to an item. This makes it easy to reproduce fonts multiple times, at speed. Although this process is a more cost effective way of engraving, the results of using a machine will never match hand engraving, in the hands of a master engraver.
