There are professional jewelry making classes available that deal with just jewelry repair. As a professional, jewelers must not only know how to handle a large variety of repair problems, they must work quickly. I met a jeweler once who had a job where she got paid per piece that she fixed. She had to learn quickly, and she learned all kinds of repair techniques. As a jewelry hobbyist, I cant hold a torch to her abilities, but I have developed my own way to deal with jewelry repairs that I do for friends and family. This feature explains some repair tips and describes a repair job I completed once as a way to give you an idea of how to approach offering your own jewelry repair services.
