Services and Workshop
At Berry’s we have an in-house workshop where all our jewellery is created on site. We also offer a comprehensive repair and remodelling service so your jewellery is serviced without leaving the premises.
Remodelling
Time for a change? At Berry’s we can take your old jewellery and reuse the stones and metal to make something new and exciting. Just bring in anything you no longer wear and you can sit down with a jeweller and discuss design ideas incorporating the materials you already have.
Custom Design
Collaborative design - Introducing design possibilities and concepts whilst tailoring to your personal preferences.
Form and function - Beauty with comfort. When making an outstanding statement or complementing an existing treasured piece, understanding your desires
As designers, master jewellers, and technicians any piece is possible, creating lovely individual pieces that interface gemstones, metal preferences and the considerations of the wearer. In this manner we are creating contemporary heirloom jewellery that will delight you is the key.
Repairs
After years of wear jewellery sometimes needs maintenance work. We can assess your jewellery as you wait and let you know if any repair or maintenance is needed. Accidents unfortunately do occur, so in this situation we are happy to evaluate any damage to jewellery and provide a quote for the repair. We carry out all repair work on-site so you can be sure your goods are secure.
Some common repairs are:
-Resizing of rings and bangles
-Lengthening/shortening/repairing of chains and bracelets
-Maintenance work on rings e.g. new claws, new shank/band
-Supply, match and re-setting of diamonds and gemstones
-Broken chain? No problem! No repair is too small; it is our pleasure to assist!
Insurance Valuations and Appraisals
Often your insurance company will require you to have a comprehensive Valuation/Appraisal on specifically itemized pieces of jewellery in order to be covered against loss, burglary or accidental damage. In the unfortunate event that you have to make a claim on an item of jewellery we are happy to liaise with any insurance company to assist in the processing of your claim.
Insurance Valuation
We can provide an Insurance Replacement Valuation for any item of jewellery. Our valuations are carried out on-site by a qualified Gemmologist and Manufacturing Jeweller. All jewellery is cleaned and checked before valuing.
Post Loss Valuations
If an item of jewellery is stolen/lost or damaged, insurance companies will often require a Post Loss Valuation with a quote to replace or repair the item. We are happy to sit down with you to gather the necessary information to write up a Post Loss Valuation for your insurance company with no cost to yourself.
Rethreading
We offer a rethreading service for pearls and beads of any size and length.
Along with an extensive selection of silver and gold clasps should you need one.
We can also help with deciding on the best overall length for necklaces and bracelets and whether your piece needs rethreading or reknotting.
