JEWELLERY REPAIRS
Jewellery repairs are a highly specialised service.
We mend your jewellery with care in our local workshop. Some repairs take place at our shop, but most of the time we need specialised tools and equipment. We know you love your jewellery, and that is why items never leave our care - Items are fully insured and taken by hand to and from our local workshop where our team of jewellers, watch and clock makers repair your items for you in house.
From ring sizing or simple chain repairs, to complex bespoke handmade items of your own specific design, we offer a fully insured gold, platinum and silver jewellery repair service.
Just because something is broken, doesn't mean its ruined. Practically everything can be repaired, and the cost to do so is often much less that you'd imagine - far less than the cost to replace it!
If it's not something particularly precious to you though, and you don't want to have it repaired, ask about our jewellery recycling. We can purchase the item from you for the metal price.

ENGRAVING
We engrave all kinds of things at Underwoods. We can make and engrave Medic Alert bracelets, dog tags, trophies, medals, the inside and outside of rings, cufflinks, tankards and watches etc. If it is made of metal, then usually it can be personalised. We use the latest technology and can even engrave photographs onto items for you.
VALUATIONS & JEWELLERY INSURANCE
Underwoods offers a choice of two jewellery valuation packages to meet your requirements. Valuations can be made for insurance purposes, probate, investments or just peace of mind.
Our In House valuation service is undertaken by our jeweller. Your items are fully appraised, stones measured and qualified, detailed notes and photographs are taken and a record kept on file. We issue you with a schedule for insurance documenting the items replacement value at the date we appraised them. In the event of a loss, precious items can then be replaced with similar through your household insurance company.
In addition to this, any items that you purchase at Underwoods can be insured through March Guard - a simple and immediate Jewellery and Watch Insurance that gives you peace of mind from the moment you walk out of our shop. There are two schemes available for either 1 or 3 years covering up to £5000 per item without any excess. Simple and straightforward to set up, ask for details from any of our staff.
For Watches and more unusual jewellery items, we are pleased to offer a premium level of valuation through SafeGuard. We will be happy to advise you of the most appropriate level of valuation, and the most cost effective.
CLEAN & POLISH
Underwoods can gently clean and polish your jewellery. Daily wear can build up hard to shift dirt or you could find that your beloved items have tarnished. To give a real sparkle and shine we can clean your items ultrasonically and then buff them up for you so that they gleam again. For day to day cleaning, why not try one of our dips or cloths for sale in store.
Most people don't know that 9ct & 18ct White Gold jewellery is plated with rhodium. These items gradually lose their brilliance due to wear over the years and can sometimes start to look a little yellow. We can remedy this by polishing and re rhodium plating your jewellery, and have it looking brand new again.
