If you're into jewelry making business, then you definitely need to know how maintain and repair these jewelries in case something goes wrong. If you can offer your clients free or discounted repair service, you will find that you have better customer relations. Even better if you could offer guarantee your pieces and offer free repairs for a specified period of time after the sale. This is a good business strategy and it will set you apart from many of your competitors.
Repairing jewelries may not be as hard since you're the one who made them on the first place. The repair that is needed is probably the simple replacement of a piece on the jewelry, such as a clasp or replacing a stone that has come lose. This type of work can usually be done quickly, and at very little expense. However, in order to offer a business with good service, you may need to repair jewelries that weren't made by you. In this case, you need to learn some jewelry repairing skill, and you need to purchase some jewelry making or jewelry repair tools. These tools are very small, and they were specifically designed to make or repair jewelry. For the most part, these tools are very inexpensive.
One piece of equipment that you will need is a magnifying glass that stands on its own, allowing you to use both of your hands. You also need very good lighting that can be pointed directly onto the jewelry that you are repairing. Both of these are essential if you want to do a good job, and avoid eye strain at the same time.
You will need some jewelry supplies as well, such as extra clasps, chains, and possibly even gemstones. Of course, you don’t want to keep too much of this on hand, as you may never use any of it…so use your best judgment here.
If you're selling jewelries that aren't made by you, instead you get them from a wholesale jewelry company, find out if they offers guarantee services. If they do, then it will be good news for you. If not, things could get a little tricky since factory manufactured jewelries need more sophisticated tools to repair. Try to find someone that offers repairing services for these kind of jewelries and you could calculate the repair fees before you decide on a price for a piece of jewelry.
Be creative. And most importantly, think about what you could do in order to provide good wholesome services to satisfy your clients.
