Chain Repair — Macomb Mall, Roseville MI
Chain Repair in Roseville, MI
A broken chain doesn't have to mean a lost necklace. At HA Jewelers, our bench jewelers solder, re-link, and restore broken gold and silver chains every day — usually returning your necklace to you in the same visit. From delicate 1mm cable chains to heavy Cuban links and herringbone styles, we have the equipment and the experience to bring it back to life.

About Our Chain Repair Service
Chains break for predictable reasons: a snagged sweater, sleeping in a necklace, a pendant that's too heavy for the chain's gauge, or simply years of wear thinning the links at the back of the neck. Whatever caused it, the fix usually takes us 15–30 minutes once you walk in.
We repair every chain style — rope, box, Figaro, Franco, mariner, herringbone, snake, Singapore, Cuban, anchor, and beaded — in 10k, 14k, 18k, 22k gold, sterling silver, gold-filled, and platinum. We can also shorten a chain that's too long, lengthen one with a matching extender, or replace a damaged clasp at the same time.
If a single link is broken, we solder it closed and re-finish the area so the repair is invisible. If multiple links are damaged or the chain has thinned in one section, we'll quote you on a partial re-link or recommend replacement — always in writing, always before any work starts.
Why Chain Repair Matters
- A weak chain can drop a pendant you can't replace — a missing diamond, a baby's footprint pendant, a charm from a passed loved one. A $35 solder protects an irreplaceable piece.
- DIY chain repair (super glue, jump rings from a craft store) almost always makes the eventual professional repair more expensive and visible.
- Chains weakened in one spot will break again in the same spot. We inspect the whole length and tell you if the rest is at risk.
Our Chain Repair Process
Inspection
We examine the chain under magnification to confirm whether it's a clean break, a worn link, or a clasp failure.
Free Written Quote
We tell you exactly what's needed — solder, link replacement, clasp upgrade — and confirm the price before any torch is lit.
Laser or Torch Solder
Modern jewelers' lasers and traditional torches give us a clean, strong joint that matches the original chain's metal exactly.
Polish & Clean
We polish out any heat marks, ultrasonically clean the chain, and pressure-test the clasp before returning it.
