At Toulson Jones Jewellers in Tunbridge Wells, we understand the sentimental and financial value of your jewellery. Our experienced workshop offers a comprehensive jewellery and watch repair service, helping you restore, repair and enjoy your favourite pieces for years to come.

Our aim is to restore both the beauty and practicality of your jewellery, with skilled craftsmanship and attention to detail at every stage.
Professional Jewellery Repairs in Tunbridge Wells
Even the most cherished pieces of jewellery can show signs of wear over time. Everyday use can cause clasps to weaken, rings to become misshapen, settings to loosen and precious metals to lose their shine.
The good news is that many of these problems can be repaired by an experienced jeweller.
At Toulson Jones Jewellers, we assess each item individually to determine the most appropriate repair. Whether your jewellery needs a simple adjustment, a replacement component or more specialist restoration, we treat every piece with the care and respect it deserves.
Our jewellery repair services include:
Ring Resizing
A ring should feel comfortable and secure. If your ring has become too tight or too loose, our ring resizing service can help achieve a better fit.
Whether it’s a wedding ring, engagement ring or another favourite piece, we assess the design, metal and setting before recommending the most suitable approach.
Stone Replacement and Stone Setting
A loose or missing gemstone can be worrying, particularly when it’s part of a sentimental or valuable piece.
Our jewellers can assess loose stones, inspect settings and advise on securing or replacing missing gemstones. Where a replacement is needed, we can discuss suitable options to complement the original stone and design as closely as possible.
If you’ve noticed a stone moving in its setting, it’s best to have it checked promptly to reduce the risk of losing it.
Chain, Clasp and Necklace Repairs
We repair broken links, damaged chains, clasps and catches, helping restore your jewellery so you can wear it again with confidence. If a component is worn beyond repair, we can advise on suitable replacement options.
Jewellery Polishing and Cleaning
Over time, jewellery can accumulate dirt, lose its lustre and develop surface scratches through everyday wear.
Professional jewellery cleaning and polishing can help restore the appearance of many gold, silver and platinum pieces. The appropriate treatment depends on the metal, finish, gemstones and overall condition of the item.
Regular professional checks and suitable cleaning can also help identify signs of wear before they develop into more significant problems.
Ring Re-tipping and Re-shanking
The small prongs that hold a gemstone in place can gradually wear down, increasing the risk of a stone becoming loose or falling out.
Ring re-tipping involves rebuilding or strengthening worn claws or prongs to help secure the stone. Re-shanking involves repairing or replacing a worn or damaged section of a ring's band, particularly where repeated wear has made the metal thin.
These specialist repairs can help extend the life of a much-loved ring and preserve its original character.
Watch Repairs and Battery Replacement
A watch is both a practical timepiece and, often, a treasured personal possession.
Toulson Jones Jewellers offers watch repair services and watch battery replacement to help keep your timepiece working. We support watches from a range of brands, with the appropriate service depending on the make, model and fault. Brands include Seiko, Rotary, Cartier, Rolex, Longines, Citizen and Casio.
If your watch has stopped, is losing time or needs attention, bring it in for an assessment so we can advise on the next steps.

Is It Worth Repairing Old or Damaged Jewellery?
In many cases, repairing jewellery can be an excellent way to preserve a piece you already own rather than replace it.
An inherited ring, a broken gold chain or a damaged bracelet may have sentimental value that cannot be replicated by buying something new. A suitable repair can help retain the original design, preserve family memories and allow you to enjoy the piece again.
The best option depends on the item's condition, materials, design and the nature of the damage. Our jewellers can assess your jewellery and explain the options, helping you make an informed decision.
If a piece has been sitting unworn in a jewellery box because it is damaged or no longer fits, it may be worth bringing it in for professional advice.
How to Look After Your Jewellery Between Repairs
A little regular care can help keep your jewellery in good condition and reduce unnecessary wear.
Check settings regularly. If a gemstone feels loose or a claw appears damaged, stop wearing the item until a jeweller has assessed it.
Store pieces carefully. Keep jewellery in a suitable jewellery box or separate pouches to reduce scratching and tangling.
Remove jewellery when appropriate. Heavy manual work, exercise and activities that expose jewellery to knocks or harsh chemicals can increase the risk of damage.
Clean jewellery appropriately. Different metals and gemstones need different care. Avoid harsh cleaning products and seek advice if you are unsure.
Arrange professional inspections. Periodic checks can help identify worn clasps, thinning bands and loose settings before they cause further problems.
If you notice a change in your jewellery's condition, having it assessed early may help prevent a more extensive repair later.
