Licences and what to check

Malaysian law requires jewellers to hold a licence from the Licensing Officer under the Jewellers (Licensing) Act 1917. Sabah's version of the law (Cap. 66) sets an annual licence fee and expires every licence on 31 December of the year of issue. Before you hand over a ring or chain, ask the workshop to show its current licence and check that the name on the licence matches the name on your receipt.

Climate and timing

Malaysia is hot and humid all year, with wet and dry seasons instead of winter and summer, so there is no single season when repairs are easier to book. In rainy spells, walk-in drop-offs and postal returns can take longer, so ask for a timeline before you send a piece away.

How repairs are priced and delivered

Quotes are given per job, not per hour, and depend on what the piece needs. Prices are usually confirmed after inspection, because the cost can change once the condition is clear. The main factors are:

• the metal and karat, such as 14K or 18K gold or PT950 platinum
• the work itself: resizing, polishing, re-plating, stone replacement or a structural repair
• the number and size of the stones, measured in millimetres
• the condition of the piece, which can change the labour charge

Cities covered for this category are Kuala Lumpur, George Town, Johor Bahru, Ipoh and Shah Alam, so say which one you are in. Outlets and postal options vary by workshop, so ask how a piece is sent in before you post anything valuable.

What to put in your request

Name the item (ring, chain, bangle or pendant), the work you need, and the metal with its karat. If it is a chain, state the weave; if it has stones, say how many and whether they are loose. Add your deadline, your city and your budget. Sellers usually need to see the piece before giving a firm price, so a clear description and a photo help them answer in one go.
