At MDTdesign, we offer expert chain and bracelet repair services for pieces made from gold, platinum, or silver, all performed onsite in our Melbourne boutique and workshop. Whether your piece has snapped, the clasp has broken, or you’ve noticed signs of wear, our skilled jewellers will assess the damage and provide the most appropriate repair solution to restore its strength, functionality, and appearance.
Each chain or bracelet is unique, and so is the repair it may require. There is no flat fee or universal repair cost, as pricing depends on several key factors—such as the type of metal (gold, platinum, or silver), the carat of gold (9ct, 14ct, or 18ct), and the colour (yellow, white, or rose gold). We thoroughly assess every piece to determine the best method of repair and provide an accurate quote. In addition to fixing the visible damage, we also inspect surrounding links or components to ensure the overall piece is still safe and wearable.
All chain and bracelet repairs are completed in-house in our fully equipped onsite workshop. By keeping the process local and handled entirely by our own jewellers, we ensure faster turnaround times, clear communication, and the highest level of craftsmanship and care throughout the repair process. We generally advise around 5 to 7 business days to repair a chain but it does depend on the individual piece and the work needed.
Clasp replacements are one of the most common bracelet and chain repairs we perform. In many cases, broken clasps are replaced rather than repaired, as the internal mechanisms often wear out or snap. The cost of a new clasp can vary depending on several factors, including:
Our jewellers will match the clasp as closely as possible to the original and recommend a secure option suitable for the wear and weight of your chain or bracelet.
Hollow chains and bracelets are light and often more fragile than solid designs. Their thin, hollow structure can make soldering difficult, and in some cases, repairs may not be durable or possible. We will assess your item thoroughly and let you know whether a safe and lasting repair can be carried out.
Diamond tennis bracelets are elegant, flexible, and often feature a continuous line of individually set diamonds. Due to their intricate construction, they can be prone to damage over time—whether through general wear, impact, or accidental pulling.
At MDTdesign, we specialise in diamond tennis bracelet repairs, including:
All work is performed with care by our expert team onsite to ensure the bracelet is restored with precision and durability in mind.

Q: Can you replace my clasp with one in the same metal?
