When you consider the amount of stress that an antique piece of jewellery may have been under during its' lifetime it is surprising that any still exists. The wear and tear of day to day use, and the ravages of time and the elements all have a bearing. So when you do have a piece that requires antique jewellery repairs in Devon you need to weigh up your choices. Do you opt for repair, restoration, or renovation? Not all jewellers undertake antique jewellery repairs in Devon , not even the big high street chains. Certainly, they will take your piece and get it repaired, but they simply send to another jeweller who DOES do repairs and restoration. To repair is to restore by replacing a missing part or putting together what is broken or torn.

Christmas is coming and if you need some extra cash a very good way to find some is to sell any scrap gold that you have lying about the house. Most jewellers undertake gold buying in Devon , and you can also sell it by post as there are gold buying companies who operate entirely this way. What they do is to buy scrap gold then melt it down and sell it on to make a profit.

Look in old jewellery boxes and drawers, and it may even be worth hunting down the back of the settee.

Before taking your old gold to a jeweller who engages in gold buying in Devon it is best to get an idea

Here at Banwells we recently had the incredible experience of adding another little member to our family. When a brand new little human is welcomed into the family there is a surge of love that flows through each connected person. You fall in love again with a fresh, innocent warmth reserved for tiny newborns in warm hats and cosy blankets. Giving jewellery can be a way of celebrating this. As a family jewellers we are in the wonderful position of being able to source unique pieces of jewellery for anyone wishing to celebrate extending, or expanding, their family. An engagement ring, an eternity band, a dearest ring or a diamond pendant can then be handed down through the family. We are able to help families start their own generation jewellery. Part of the beauty of jewellery that is handed down through generations are the stories they come with.  Read more at Jewellery shops Devon
