Bracelet Repair
Hinged. Linked. Restored.

Tennis bracelets, bangles, cuffs, link bracelets, and charm bracelets repaired across gold, silver, and platinum — link by link, hinge by hinge.

What bracelet repair is

And when a piece
actually needs it.

Bracelets absorb more mechanical abuse than any other category — they sit on a joint that moves constantly, catch on desks and door handles, and carry a clasp that cycles daily. Tennis bracelets add a second failure mode: dozens of tiny two-prong settings that all have to hold at once. You need bracelet work when a link binds or gapes, when a hinge pin has walked out, when a bangle has gone out of round, or when stones in a tennis line have started to move.

Typical cost

Link and clasp work runs $40–$90; tennis-bracelet stone tightening is $10–$25 per stone.

Ranges are consumer-facing guidance from our published guides. Every job is confirmed in writing after evaluation.

Overview

Engineered for
retail programs.

Bracelets take more wear than any other category — clasps cycle thousands of times, links flex on every wrist movement, and tennis-bracelet stones rely on dozens of tiny prongs all at once.

We repair, re-tension, and rebuild every common bracelet construction with the same bench discipline applied to engagement-ring work.

FAQ · Bracelet Repair

Bracelet Repair,
answered.

Specific questions about bracelet repair — what it costs, when it's needed, and what we do differently.

Why do tennis bracelets lose stones so often?
Each stone is held by only two small prongs, and every wrist movement flexes the line. We re-tension the whole run rather than only the loose settings, because the neighbours are usually next.
Can a bangle that has gone oval be re-rounded?
Yes, on a mandrel with controlled pressure, and we check for stress cracks afterwards — an oval bangle has already been over-flexed once.
Is a safety chain worth adding?
On any bracelet with sentimental or high value, yes. It costs a fraction of a clasp replacement and keeps the piece on the wrist if the primary clasp releases.
