<p>[QUOTE="Hinarushi, post: 9860183, member: 87032"]Hello again everyone! I have an issue. I've got a Chinese export bracelet that's been sadly idling in my jewellery box for some time for no other reason than that it's missing the closure system. I grabbed it for around £30 in a bundle with 4 other antique pieces, so it was a total steal in my book. I knew that I wanted to keep and repair it, so I went to my local jeweller who said that "it's not worth repairing it", as well as she could create a clasp for around £50-60. I previously went to another jeweller and I've been advised that, because this piece is not made from solid gold or silver, not many jewellers would work with it. My question is, would £50-60 be the standard price for a closure system for a piece of this type? Or would I be overpaying? I would be grateful for any input. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]494290[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]494291[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]494292[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]494293[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]494294[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
