Costume Jewelry Repairs Overview

Costume jewelry is also called fashion jewelry, and is typically made from metals such as tin, zinc, copper and silver. Costume jewelry usually contains stones made from glass, plastic, or cubic zirconia that are used to simulate precious stones like diamonds rubies, sapphires and emeralds. In the past, costume jewelry was low cost and considered disposable jewelry, but today it can be very expensive and ornate. Also, costume jewelry styles evolve very quickly today, so the jewelry piece that you bought last year is usually no longer made by the manufacturer, and has been replaced with newer styles. Unfortunately, if your favorite costume jewelry piece is broken, it is difficult or impossible to buy another exact copy. So, if your favorite costume jewelry piece is broken and you can't find another, try our costume jewelry repair service by mail.

Our costume jewelry repair by mail service can also be used to change, improve or modify your costume jewelry to make it more wearable. For example, we can make modifications or enhancements to your costume jewelry such as shortening a chain or bracelet, changing stone colors, changing clasps or even adding a magnetic clasp. These modifications are now available through our costume jewelry repair by mail service.

Below are some of the typical costume jewelry repairs (fashion jewelry repairs) and modifications that we have performed over many years. If you don't see the repair or modification you need need, just ask.

 

Costume Jewelry Repairs

Replace Missing Stones

If your ring, bracelet, necklace or pendant is missing stones, we can replace these missing stones with similar stones.

Tighten Loose Stones

If your ring, bracelet, necklace, pendant has loose stones, we can tighten these stones to prevent them from falling out.

Restring Pearls

If your pearl string has become broken or loose, we can make it like new again. We can restring your broken pearls professionally using silk thread with knots between each pearl and finish the ends with french wire. These knots prevent the pearls from rubbing against each other causing the nacre to be scratched or damaged and the french wire prevents the silk thread from being damaged near the clasp.

Restring Beaded Necklace Or Bracelet

If your costume jewelry bead necklace or bracelet is loose, stretched or broken it can be repaired. We can restring your fashion jewelry necklace or bracelet using wire, cord or stretch cord.

Replace Broken Clasps

If your costume jewelry bracelet or necklace has a broken clasp,we can replace it with one that is similar in size and color.

Repair Broken Chain, Bracelet Or Necklace

If your favorite costume jewelry chain, bracelet or necklace is broken, we can repair it.

Reattach Pearls

If the pearl on your costume jewelry earring, ring or pendant have fallen off, we can re-attach it. We can also replace missing beads or pearls.

Broken Tiara or Broach

Many costume jewelry or fashion jewelry is constructed from several stone settings attached together forming clusters. Occasionally, these stone clusters break apart rendering the jewelry unusable. These can usually be repaired by reattaching the broken areas. An example of this type of construction is the typical quinceanera tiara, broaches and bracelets which are constructed using this stone cluster method.

 

Costume Jewelry Improvements

Shorten A Necklace or Bracelet

If your costume jewelry necklace or bracelet is too long, we can shorten it.

Lengthen A Necklace or Bracelet

If your costume jewelry necklace or bracelet is too short, we can lengthen it by adding an extender which will also make the necklace or bracelet adjustable by several inches.

Shorten Chain And Make Bracelet From Excess Chain

If your costume chain is too long we can shorten it. If the chain is long enough, we can take the excess and make a bracelet. For example, if you have a 26” chain and you want to shorten it to 18” we can shorten the chain and use the excess to make an 8” matching bracelet.

Install Magnetic Clasps On Necklaces and Bracelets

If you are having trouble opening and closing your necklace or bracelet, we can add a magnetic clasp. Our magnetic clasps are small but strong and come in silver or gold tone.

Fashion Ring Is Too Loose

If your favorite costume ring is too big and falls off your finger, we have a solution. We can add a ring spacer to the inside of the ring so that the ring better fits your finger.

Connect Rings Together

If you are trying to wear several costume jewelry rings on one finger but they are loose and move around we can usually attach the rings together so that they become one ring. For example, a wedding ring and an engagement ring are typically connected together and essentially converted into one ring making it easier to wear.

Replace Pendant Bail

If your pendant does not fit onto the chain because the pendant bail is too small, we can help. We can replace the small bail with a larger one that fits your chain.

Clean & Polish

Over years of wearing, costume jewelry will attract dirt and grime and the stones will become dull and lack the sparkle it once had. This fashion jewelry is seldom cleaned because of it's delicate construction and potential damage due to cleaning. We can professionally clean and polish costume jewelry without damaging the settings or stones and bring back the sparkle.

Change Earring Backs

If you love your costume earrings but wish they had different backs, we can change them. We can convert your earring backs to clip backs, post(stud) or wire hooks.

Adjust Spring Back Earrings

If your costume earrings with spring backs are falling off, we can usually adjust them or replace them.

Change To Large Clasp

If the clasp on your costume jewelry bracelet or necklace is difficult to open and close, we can remove it and replace it with a larger clasp. We can also add a magnetic clasp making opening and closing very easy.

Change A Clasp

If the clasp on your costume jewelry bracelet or necklace is too big or too small or just don't like it, we can remove and replace it with a different clasp that you that you like better.
