Proper Chain Repair

Monica brought in her favorite 14k gold rope chain that she wears everyday. It was recently repaired at another store and she was unhappy with the way it turned out. The repaired spot was very obvious, it was an unsightly glob.

We told her that it was a not a good repair job. A proper repair was one that visually you could not tell where it was repaired and the only way you could detect it was to run your fingers along the chain to feel the slightly stiff spot where the chain was repaired.

We took it in for repair and when she returned to pick it up was very happy to have her beautiful chain back looking like new with no evidence of the glob.
