A Legacy to Be Proud of Since 1909

Jewellery Repairs

Our workshop is able to carry out a wide range of Jewellery repairs and these are just a few examples of the work we can undertake.

Maintenance or Repairs

If worn regularly rings can get a lot of rough treatment and will from time to time need some essential maintenance or repairs.

Re-Tipping

The little claws or prongs as they are often called, that hold the stones in place can become worn or broken which, if not repaired, can result in the stone falling out and becoming lost. When we repair this it is known as re-tipping.

A little tip I often offer to check if your claws are damaged or sharp is to rub the ring against the back of your hand to see if it scratches. If it does it needs attention.

Replacing Stones

If you are unfortunate enough to lose a stone when it has fallen out of a ring, pendant or earring then we can replace it.

Broken Chains . . .

When a chain, necklace or bracelet, has snapped or a clasp is broken we can usually repair this.

Rhodium Plating

White gold jewellery is now often rhodium plated. This gives your jewellery a whiter, brighter look but this plating can wear. Our workshop is equipped to re rhodium plate your jewellery and bring back it’s sparkle.

Ear Piercing

We offer an ear piercing service which is carried out in a small room which we call the library that is situated off our main showroom.

Watch & Clock Repair

We handle a wide range of watch and clock servicing, repairs and restorations.    These can be carried out either by the original manufacturers or our independent watch makers.

Battery & Strap Replacement

We stock a range of high quality watch straps from Hirsch in various designs and styles that are compatible with most watch brands.  Whether you are looking for something timeless or more contemporary a new Hirsch strap will enhance your watch and can usually be fitted while you wait

Valuations

We offer a wide range of jewellery valuation services carried out by our registered valuer. The most common of which is valuation for insurance.

Sally and all the team at A A Thorntons are absolutely fabulous - professional yet friendly !I recently had a ring set redesigned and they were so helpful, keeping me updated every step of the way so that I had input into the settings.I would definitely recommend them for this type of work and also for the wonderful range of items, jewellery and gifts, that they have in store.Sally - I can't thank you enough for all your hard work and the utterly beautiful result.
