A broken necklace can look beyond repair, but many chain problems can be professionally fixed. At Gems & Jewels Fine Jewelry in Long Beach, we repair gold chains, necklaces, clasps, and other fine jewelry so you can get your favorite pieces out of the jewelry box and back into rotation.
Common Necklace and Chain Repairs
We regularly see necklaces with:
- Broken links
- Damaged clasps
- Worn jump rings
- Broken solder points
- Missing components
- Damaged pendant bails
- Stretched or weakened sections
- Broken chains near the clasp
The right repair depends on the chain's construction and condition.
Can a Broken Gold Chain Be Repaired?
In many cases, yes. A jeweler can often reconnect a broken gold chain by carefully soldering or repairing the damaged area.
However, it is important to look at why the chain broke.
If one section has become extremely thin from years of wear, repairing a single break may only temporarily solve the problem. Another weakened section could break later. That's why we examine the entire necklace before recommending a repair.
Clasp Repair and Replacement
Sometimes the chain itself is perfectly fine, and the problem is simply the clasp. A worn or damaged clasp can put an otherwise valuable necklace at risk. Depending on the piece, we may repair the clasp or replace it with an appropriate new one that keeps the necklace secure while maintaining its appearance.
Repairing Sentimental Necklaces
A necklace doesn't need to be expensive to be important. We regularly work with jewelry that has sentimental value because it belonged to a parent, grandparent, or loved one.
Whenever possible, we aim to preserve the original piece while making it secure enough to enjoy again.
