Repairs
As part of the services provided at Buck & Co Jewellers, we offer a wide range of Jewellery repairs, all carried out in house within the safety of our shop. From basic simple chain repairs to complex gem setting and plating, we have the tools, knowledge and experience to provide a comprehensive and professional service.
Plating Services
We are able to carry out gold, silver and rhodium plating, all to a high standard and done on the premises
​
Most commercially purchased white gold jewellery is now rhodium finished at the time of manufacture, Buck & Co are able to reinstate this finish for you.
Ring Sizing
We also provide a ring sizing service where we can resize your precious rings by either adding or removing metal. We can work in all precious metals, including the notoriously hard to work platinum.
​
We offer a precise measuring service and, it is important to note that we do not stretch rings. This is poor practice and can damage the piece and destroy the integrity of the metal. Attempts to stretch rings rarely end well or yield a good result.
Gemstones
We can supply and set missing gemstones to a very high standard. By having access to some of the UK's premier polished coloured stones and diamond suppliers, our Gemmologist Alexandra is able to accurately match stones and replace missing ones.
​
This service is particularly relevant in the case of very old and antique jewellery where value can be hugely affected by the quality of replacement stones and the work which is carried out. The outcome can massively affect the value of the piece concerned and in most cases, restoration work should be sympathetic to the age of the piece concerned.
Watches
We offer a comprehensive range of quality watch straps which on most occasions, we are able to change whilst you wait. We believe a quality strap is an integral part of your watch, therefore we do not stock inferior or low quality straps. This is to minimise the risk of losing a watch which can be both valuable and have sentimental meaning to you and your family.
​
We also stock a comprehensive range of watch batteries, and in most cases we are able to change a battery for you within a few minutes. We also offer in-house water resistance testing service for watches.
What to know About Repairs
Repairs can sometimes be complex and, because of the variable nature and make up of a piece of jewellery, we will only give estimates if we have physically seen the piece. Our estimates are free of charge, and because all our work is carried out in house we will do our best to accommodate special occasions, or tight deadlines if possible.
​
Buck & Co Jewellers are always happy to provide you with our professional opinion and advise on individual restoration work.
