What services does the Art'emi workshop offer?

What is the turnaround time for professional jewelry repair in Brussels?


In general, having jewelry repaired by a professional can take a few weeks, or even a few months. However, some jewelers offer shorter turnaround times, sometimes just a few hours. Yet, to be properly restored, most broken jewelry deserves much more time and attention than just a few minutes!


Artémi Vasilakis, for her part, generally takes fifteen days for a gold or silver jewelry repair. This timeframe can of course change depending on the jewelry model and the different repairs to be undertaken. Thus, for particularly complex jewelry such as fine jewelry or containing precious stones of great value, this timeframe can reach a month.

What is the price of silver or gold jewelry repair?


To begin with, the jewelry repair price will vary according to the expertise required for its restoration. However, other criteria will also need to be considered.

 

First of all, the price calculation for your jewelry repair will depend on the piece of jewelry you want to restore.

The material therefore necessarily factors into the estimate of your restoration budget.

For example, for gold jewelry repair, price differences will follow market purchase prices according to the degree of purity and carats.



This jewelry repair is also possible on all possible gold colors, namely: 

- Gray gold or white gold;

- Rose gold;

- All types of yellow gold.

Similarly, for silver jewelry repair, changing links or resoldering a ring in solid silver or sterling silver alloy will not cost the same amount.


Artémi Vasilakis thus offers a fully tailor-made service, with prices adapted to the various constraints of the jewelry brought in. For a free quote, you can contact her by phone or email!

What work is involved in jewelry renovation or repair?

Depending on the condition and project, jewelry renovation or repair may include:

  • Transforming or evolving the design
  • A complete polishing to revive the shine
  • Replacing or adding stones
  • A partial redesign, while respecting the identity of the jewelry 

Can a piece of jewelry be re-gilded?

Yes. We offer re-gilding of solid 925 silver or white gold jewelry to give them the appearance of 18-carat yellow gold. The plating is done in our workshop with 18-carat gold, at a thickness of 3 microns, ensuring an elegant and durable finish.

When does repairing antique jewelry become difficult or risky?

Repairing antique jewelry can indeed become difficult when their structure is weakened or their materials are too delicate. The alloy used in antique jewelry is often less durable than those used today, which can make handling tricky. Their metal is sometimes worn by time and can be damaged during repairs. 

Antique jewelry often contains stones sensitive to heat that could be damaged if not handled delicately. Additionally, many pieces are handcrafted and nearly impossible to reproduce identically if broken. Repair becomes even more difficult and risky when the jewelry has already undergone several interventions. At Art’emi, we carefully assess each piece to determine the safest method to preserve your jewelry. 

Are jewelry repairs and creations guaranteed?

Yes. All our repairs and creations come with a warranty, according to the terms defined in Art’emi’s warranty policy.

What types of damage require jewelry repair rather than a complete replacement?

Some common damages only require simple repairs, especially if the jewelry holds sentimental value for you. Among the repairs we most frequently perform are faulty clasps, broken chains, and bent rings. These repairs are generally quite easy to carry out and allow you to keep your precious jewelry. 

If your jewelry is made of silver or gold, it is likely to have deep scratches. In this case, a simple polishing is usually enough to restore your jewelry. Complete replacement is only considered when the jewelry is too damaged to be repaired, after multiple breaks for example. At Art’emi, we always prioritize repairing your jewelry when possible. Thanks to our quality repairs, you extend the lifespan of your jewelry.

Can I entrust several pieces of jewelry to your workshop for repair?

Yes, you can entrust several pieces of jewelry at the same time for repair. Art’emi handles a large number of jewelry items, whether rings, chains, bracelets, earrings, pendant necklaces, watches, among others. Each piece is evaluated individually to determine the appropriate type of repair.

By entrusting several pieces of jewelry to Art’emi, you benefit from precise and rigorous expertise while optimizing your time. Furthermore, detailed tracking is provided for each piece to keep you informed of the repair progress. Your jewelry will be returned as a priority according to your needs. Do not hesitate to let us know if the jewelry repair is urgent so that we can take care of it as soon as possible.

What types of materials are accepted for jewelry repair?

The expertise of Art’emi jewelry allows for the repair of jewelry on any type of material. It works notably with gold (gray/white/rose/yellow), silver, and platinum. Each material is evaluated individually to determine the most suitable repair method. The method varies depending on the nature of the jewelry: ring, chain, pendant necklace, watch, or other. Art’emi repairs any type of old or modern jewelry to bring it back to life.

Regarding stones, Art’emi handles almost all types of stones used in jewelry such as sapphires, rubies, topazes, pyrites, chrysoprases, among others. These are first evaluated and then repaired to ensure their durability. If a stone is severely damaged, a replacement can be considered at the customer's request. Art'emi thus ensures careful work on each material and stone while providing advice for the maintenance of your jewelry.
