Repairing antique and vintage jewellery

What we repair

At Adin, every repair begins with respect for craftsmanship, for history, and for the story each jewel carries. Whether a diamond has loosened, a clasp has worn, or a setting needs restoring, our workshop treats every piece with the same care it once received when newly made. All transactions are handled with complete confidentiality and professional discretion.

We repair and restore:

• Antique, vintage and estate jewellery in gold, silver and platinum, even when damaged or incomplete
• Diamond jewellery with missing, chipped or cracked stones
• Precious stones such as diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds and pearls
• Platinum, gold and silver items requiring structural repair or cleaning

Each repair is carried out by experienced goldsmiths trained in both traditional and modern techniques. Our workshop has access to an exceptional stock of gemstones, including loose diamonds in historical cuts that date back to the fifteenth century, as well as natural half-seed pearls. This allows us to match original materials with remarkable precision, ensuring authenticity in every restoration.

Our approach

Repairing antique jewellery is more than technical work; it is conservation. Whenever possible, we restore rather than replace, preserving original parts and historical integrity. If a missing element must be recreated, we do so with period-appropriate materials and methods. Before beginning any work, we examine the jewel carefully and discuss the best approach with you. You will always receive a clear explanation and quotation before any restoration begins.

Historical restoration

Some jewels require more than a repair; they need restoration. At Adin, this means reconstructing what time has taken away while preserving the soul of the jewel. When a missing element must be recreated, we use period appropriate materials, traditional techniques and handwork that reflect the craft of the era in which the piece was born. Our approach ensures that restored parts blend seamlessly with the original structure, both visually and historically.

Before beginning any restoration, we will always give you honest advice on whether the work is worthwhile, both technically and financially. Whether the restoration involves *millegrain edges, historic settings, hand cut gemstones* or the *mounting of rose cut diamonds on silver foil*, our aim is not to make a jewel look new but to make it whole again, as if time itself had been kind enough to spare it.
