Jewellery can mean a variety of things to different people. For some, it's a status symbol or an important fashion accessory that completes the look. Others see it as purely sentimental, a reminder of a specific person, place, or time in their lives.
Whatever your reasons for cherishing a piece, it can be extremely upsetting if it is damaged. This could happen in a variety of ways, including daily activities like cleaning or exercising, and even something as seemingly innocuous as applying aftershave or perfume.
Jewelry repair is a precise, delicate skill that requires years of specialized training to master. You run the risk of making things worse and even irreversibly damaging the piece if you attempt to repair it yourself. As a result, it's always worth taking any damaged item to a jeweller or repair shop to be examined by a professional.
If the piece has monetary or sentimental value, you may have had the foresight to purchase jewelry insurance. If this is the case, it is worth reviewing the terms and conditions of your documents to determine what is and isn't included. You may be covered for repairs, replacements, or compensation for any damages, for example. If your collection is not currently insured, it may be worthwhile to purchase a policy to help protect yourself in the event of any future issues.
If the piece can no longer function in its current form, all is not lost. You might be able to turn it into something else. A stone from a damaged ring, for example, could be used to make a special necklace or bracelet, preserving the sentimentality attached to it.
If the damaged item was not one of your favorites to begin with, you may decide that now is the ideal time to thin out your collection a little. It is critical to conduct market research and obtain a few independent valuations before listing anything for sale. To avoid misleading potential buyers, you must state that the piece is damaged.
