Examination fees and valuations

Ask about the examination fee before you leave the piece. Some workshops charge a non-refundable fee of NZ$50 to examine and assess a restoration, which pays for the jeweller's time on a thorough check, and one workshop says the examination usually takes about half an hour. A valuation certificate for insurance is a separate service: a Christchurch jeweller can arrange one through an independent third-party valuer, so say in your request if you need it.

Metal, stones and ring size

Workshops here repair gold, silver and platinum, and each metal is priced differently. One Auckland workshop quotes sterling silver resizing at NZ$65 plus an NZ$8 metal charge per size, so the change in size matters as much as the metal. A loose stone, a broken clasp and a resized ring are different jobs, so name each one. Give the ring size, or the inside diameter in millimetres if you have measured it.

Season and timing

New Zealand's seasons run the other way round from the northern hemisphere. November is late spring, and summer runs from December to February. A repair needed for a wedding, a birthday or a holiday should have that date in the request, and ask the workshop how long the job takes before you agree to a deadline.

How repairs are priced and sent

Prices are quoted in New Zealand dollars, per item rather than per hour. Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton and Tauranga are far apart, so a piece sent from another city needs packing and a secure delivery, and you should agree who pays for postage before you post it. For a local visit, one Christchurch workshop offers on-site ring resizing, which is often the quickest route.

On BlaBlaPrice you describe the piece in your own words in a chat, and you can add a photo. The AI asks for missing details such as the metal, the stones and the deadline, then looks through jewellers' websites and price lists in New Zealand and shows the prices and businesses it finds. Local jewellers registered on BlaBlaPrice receive the request and reply in the chat with their own offer, price and terms. Your contact details stay hidden until you decide with whom to exchange them.

Simple jobs such as polishing a ring or chain start from about NZ$20, and a plain gold item has a standard fee from NZ$85. Rebuilding a setting can cost NZ$100 to NZ$900 or more, so send a photo before you decide.

Do I pay if I decide not to go ahead after the examination?

Can a jeweller give me a valuation for insurance?

Yes, some Christchurch jewellers arrange a valuation certificate through an independent third-party valuer. Ask for it when you send the request, because it is a separate service.

How long does a repair take?

The examination itself usually takes about half an hour at one workshop, but the repair depends on the job. Give the date you need the piece back in your request.
