AboutBill and Sally Jarrett Expertise We are collectors, hobbyists and dealers in memorabilia and antiques - especially antique vintage and costume jewelry items. For 10 years we owned an antique shop here in Central Florida but retired and reopened a site on the internet that specializes mostly in antique jewelry and accessories such as perfume bottles, etc. Bill is informed on general antiques specializing in china and silver or sterling tablewares while Sally tends to jewelry and paper/advertising ephemera. We receive a lot of general questions from our site and would be glad to try and answer or give direction not considered for official appraisal purposes, i.e. estate or insurance.

Question I have a Victorian Jet collar necklace that has become very frigile in places, and wondered if there is anyone who repairs or restores these types of pieces.
Thank you
Answer Hello Gia and thank you for your inquiry. Below I have listed a link for jewelry and bead repair/restringing. Just copy and paste it into your browser address field and hit enter:
If you want someone locally, I would suggest you check with your local antique shop, mall or museum. They often have listings of people who do their repairs.
