Is there a ring in your drawer with a loose stone, or a bracelet that lost its shine years ago? The festive season is when those pieces come out for year-end functions, family lunches and gifts, and it’s the worst time to discover a missing diamond. Jewellery repairs in Durbanville don’t have to wait until something breaks. At Gold and Diamond Traders, our workshop at Graanendal Shopping Centre handles everything from quick alterations to full refurbishments, so your favourite pieces are ready to wear when it matters.

Why Repairs Are Worth Doing Before December

Small problems get bigger with daily wear. A worn claw can let a stone drop out without warning, a thin ring shank can crack, and a white gold ring that has turned yellow only looks more tired with time. Booking repairs now, before the December rush, gives our jeweller time to do the work properly instead of in a hurry. Planning your jewellery repairs in Durbanville early also leaves time for a final clean and polish.

It’s also the time of year when rings that no longer fit come back into use. If a ring spins on your finger or won’t go over the knuckle, our guide to ring resizing explains how we adjust it safely.

What We Repair in Our Workshop

Our jewellery repairs service covers the most common problems we see:

  • Stone setting: tightening loose diamonds and gemstones, or setting a new stone.
  • Plating and gilding: rhodium plating to bring back the bright finish on white gold, and gilding for yellow gold.
  • Cleaning, polishing and refurbishment: removing scratches and dullness so older pieces look close to new.
  • Quick alterations: smaller jobs can often be done while you wait, depending on the item.
  • Basic watch repairs and ring resizing, up or down.

Jewellery Repairs in Durbanville You Can Trust

Handing over a sentimental piece takes trust. Every item is checked with you at the counter, so you know exactly what work is needed before we start. For valuable pieces, we can also prepare an insurance valuation certificate once the repair is done, which is useful if you’re giving jewellery as a gift or adding it to your policy.

Because the work happens in our own Durbanville workshop, you deal directly with the people repairing your jewellery, not a courier to an unknown workshop elsewhere.

Choosing Who Repairs Your Jewellery

Wherever you go, ask how the work will be done, whether the jeweller does it on site, and how long it will take. The Jewellery Council of South Africa is a useful resource for understanding the local trade and what to expect from a reputable jeweller.

If you’re in the Northern Suburbs, our jewellery repairs in Durbanville keep things simple: one counter, one workshop and a team that has looked after local families for years.
