Cost of repairing necklace

[EvianBaby]

Wasn't sure where to put this but I was wondering if anyone had a rough idea on how much it would cost to have 9ct white gold chain that has been snapped repaired?

If it only needs the clip repaired, it could be about a tenner. If the chain itself needs repairing - sorry, no idea.

It's the actual chain rather than the clasp.

I think it depends what type of place you take it to. It recently cost me £70 just for a new 9ct clasp on a curb chain but that was in a posh independent jeweler (gold is sky high at the moment) but yours might just need soldering.

Beaverbrooks (where it was bought from) repaired the clasp a few months ago which was about 25 quid.

Someone else is meant to be having it repaired, I'd just be intrigued to know how much it's going to cost them.

Silver solder and a micro blowtorch, 5 minute job. cost 10pence. Get to know a retired or hobby silversmith.

not sure about a chain but i had a link on my bracelet repaired at a cost of £36 now broken again

Hi, OH had hers done few weeks ago and it cost her £15. Another shop wanted £25 for same thing, so it does pay to shop around. As it is a very fine chain both of them said it could show so you take your chance with that as it happens you need a magnifying glass to see the mend.

take it to a jeweller - they should get it repaired for you. Where I work, it costs £7-10 for a solder of a break but white gold will also need re-rhodium plating when the repair takes place and that will cost you about another £10 to £15. You can always get an estimate which is free before you give the go ahead. Worth having done unless the chain is brittle as a new 18 inch fine white gold chain will currently set you back about 70-100 pounds
