Hi I have a silver table centre which is lovely but quite thin. My husband (bless him) managed to snap off a bracket on the side of the vase which holds a smaller vase . Has anyone any idea how I can fix this please? I have tried superglue but it didnt work.

Take it to a silversmith and ask them to fix it - if it's real silver, it's not good to fix it with superglue. (This was one of my mother's failings - whatever broke, out came the Araldite!)

It needs professional work - shouldnt be too expensive - give it to your hub to pay up....may as well get it polished too (not too heavy if it is thin)

I did ask 2 different jewellers and they quoted £50 and £55 Husband will pay but it seems a lot and I wondered if there was an alternative

It doesn't sound a lot to me if they are repairing it with precious metal. Have you got accidental damage cover on your contents insurance? You might be able to claim.

Ooo never thought of that boxtops. Mind you they would probabally increase my premiums by £60!! I think I may just have to bite the bullet. Thankyou anyway
