Repairs & Maintenance
I believe jewellery is meant to be worn, cherished, and repaired. In a world where so many things are replaced rather than cared for, I see repair as an important part of a more sustainable and circular approach to jewellery. By extending the life of the pieces we already own, we reduce waste, preserve craftsmanship, and honour the stories attached to them
As an independent jeweller and goldsmith, I offer a wide range of repair and maintenance services for a variety of jewellery pieces. This includes cleaning and polishing, straightening bent pieces, re-sizing rings, re-soldering broken components, replacing clasps, re-gluing elements where appropriate, and re-stringing pearl and bead necklaces. Whether your jewellery needs a small adjustment or a more substantial repair, I approach each piece with care and attention to detail.
I also specialise in laser welding, a precise and versatile technique that allows me to repair delicate pieces that can be difficult to solder using traditional methods. Laser welding is ideal for fine chains, jump rings near gemstones, earring posts, gold-plated jewellery, and many other intricate repairs. I can work with both precious and non-precious metals, often achieving strong, discreet repairs while minimising the impact on the surrounding material.
Every repair begins with an assessment of the piece and a conversation about the best solution. My aim is always to preserve as much of the original jewellery as possible. Repairing jewellery is not only practical—it is a way of valuing craftsmanship, reducing unnecessary consumption, and keeping meaningful objects in use for years to come.
If you have a piece that needs repair or would like advice on its condition, please get in touch. I am happy to assess your jewellery and discuss the most appropriate options for its care and restoration.

How it’s made
Who? All my work is handmade by me in my little studio in Antwerp-Berchem!
What? All my stainless steel jewellery is laser-welded by me with my laser-welding machine (see video below for a demonstration!) My ‘Repeat One’ collection is made of 100% solid sterling silver, hand finished by me.
The colouring method I use on some of my pieces is called KLIAR Nano-ceramic e-coating, developed by a company called LEGOR who are based in Italy.
When? Made to Order pieces are, as the title suggests, made from scratch for each order that comes in. I start working as soon as I see the order arrive, but sometimes I need to order extra material or a replacement tool. With this in mind though, I can promise to have your order shipped within maximum two weeks/ten working days but usually within a week!
Collaborations
Do you have an idea for a piece of jewellery that you can’t find anywhere else? Something that you’d like me to try in my own style? (a ‘remix’ perhaps?) Please don’t be shy and send me an email (or slide into my instagram DMs!) with your wonderful ideas and lets see what we can do together!
It Broke!
I put the utmost care and effort into creating pieces that are built to last. Unfortunately accidents do happen and I am happy to repair my own pieces free of charge. I also gladly offer repair services for other items of jewellery, priced on an individual basis. A circular economy and low-waste lifestyle is something I am deeply committed to!
