Celebrating Repair Week

11th - 17th March is London Recycles Repair Week and this year the team here at Warrenders are excited to be joining this great initiative to help promote the importance of reusing and repairing what you have!

Launched in 2020 with a focus on helping build more resilient, low carbon circular cities, Repair Week aims to encourage people across London and beyond to share knowledge and make use of the amazing repair services available throughout the city.

Our jewellery services have always been of great importance to us and to our customers. Thoughtful purchasing and looking after the beautiful pieces you already have, is at the heart of what we do, and therefore we strive to provide a wide range of services specially designed to prolong the life of your jewellery and reduce waste.

From our popular remodelling option to jewellery cleaning, repairs, watch restoration and more, our wide range of services have been tailored to ensure you get the very best out of your jewels.

As a 2024 Repair Week Partner we will be offering free jewellery repair appraisals as well as double loyalty points on all repairs brought into our Cheam Road store between 11th - 17th March. These points can be used for anything we have in-store, including future repairs and our jewellery maintenance services! As always, our expert team will be on hand to advise you on the best course of action to keep your much-loved jewellery looking its best and are happy to offer routine inspections on anything you bring in.

Over the years we have been lucky to help hundreds of people transform their damaged or unworn jewellery into something they will wear for many years to come. Keep reading for just a handful of our favourite jewellery remodelling and repair stories...

This beautiful pendant was designed and created using diamonds from two of our customer’s existing rings, along with a gorgeous blue sapphire.

“From the very start with the initial design, suggestions and advice, the service has been exceptional. I am delighted with the finished pendant and want to give special thanks to Gemma for all her help.”

Turning old into new, we were lucky enough to work on this unusual and fascinating commission. Our customer came to us with an inherited set of spoons each housing an ancient Roman coin. The coins were found long ago by her great-grandfather whilst excavating in Greece. He had turned one coin into a ring and the other three he had set into spoons, all of which now belonged to our customer.

Using the original coin ring as a guide, we carefully remounted the coins into rings for our customer's three sons, giving them each an ancient piece of family history to treasure.

 

This stunning diamond was housed in a setting worn and damaged by decades of wear. We transformed the inherited piece back to its former glory, replacing the damaged band and remounting the beautiful stone in a fresh new setting.

These beautiful bracelets were created for our dear customer Mrs Todd and they hold a tender story of family love.

From a gold cigarette case inherited from her grandfather, Mrs Todd asked us to create gold trilogy links to represent herself, her sister and her brother who had sadly passed away.

Some of the trilogy links we made were turned into a beautiful pair of matching bracelets, one for her and one a gift for her sister who was recently married. On the wedding day the sisters swapped their identical bracelets to form the bride's 'something borrowed' and also provide a loving tribute to their brother.
