iKandies- Have us Repair Your Jewelry or Design a Custom Piece for You

The designers at iKandies have had requests to repair jewelry pieces that we have not designed, and we have always been happy to do our best to transform your items back to their original condition.  These repairs have included lengthening necklaces, repairing clasps, restringing, and even redesigning older pieces.  What is involved in these kind of repairs?

First, photos are taken of your item and an inspection is made to ascertain what repairs are needed.  If replacement parts are required, we make a diligent search to find the closest duplicate to the part to be replaced. The item is careful disassembled and laid out on a jewelry mat. In most cases we use Accu-Flex 49 strand Beading Wire or Berkley Fireline braided cord to restring an item.  Sterling silver components are replaced with sterling silver parts while plated metal components are replaced with plated metal parts. Similarly, we replace crystals, glass, pearls, and metal beads with the same type of component.  

If an item is to be redesigned, we will discuss your vision for your piece and answer any questions you have about changes you would like made.

If after the initial inspection we find we are unable to repair your jewelry piece, it will be returned to you in the same condition in which it was received.

Prices will be quoted after photos and the inspection have been made and before we proceed with any repairs.  Rates are based on time and materials, and a flat $5.00 rate is added for shipping for most items. Shipping insurance may be added upon request. 

Additionally, we have created beautiful custom pieces that have been requested to match specific outfits or for special occasions. Customers who have sent us photos and asked us to recreate the piece for them are not only pleased with the results but surprised at how well we are able to duplicate the jewelry piece in the photo.
