Jewellery repair in South Africa: prices and how to order

Jewellery repair in South Africa costs about R495 to resize a men's signet ring, about R550 per item for a platinum or palladium repair, and R340 to R600 as a repair fee for silver or gold damaged by improper care, according to sellers' websites, November 2026. The quickest way to a price for your piece is a request on BlaBlaPrice, where you describe the job and sellers reply with their own quote.

Men's signet ring resizeR 495
Platinum or palladium repair (fracture, fill, joint solder), per itemR 550
Repair fee after damage from improper care, silverR 340
Repair fee after damage from improper care, goldR 600

The platinum figure comes from a jeweller's price list dated 2018, so treat it as a guide and ask for a current quote before the work starts.

Permits: what a workshop should be able to show

Making jewellery from gold, platinum or other precious metals in South Africa needs a permit issued by the South African Diamond and Precious Metals Regulator (SADPMR). The published guidance names the Precious Metals Jeweller's permit (PMJ) for this work, and a refinery licence as the other option for gold. Before you leave a gold or platinum piece, ask whether the workshop holds a jeweller's permit, and ask for the quote in writing.

Season: plan around the December holidays

November is early summer in South Africa, and summer runs from December to February. The holiday weeks fall in the same period, so a piece handed in late December may not be back in time for a gift or an event. If you have a date in mind, send the piece in early November and ask the workshop for a return date before you hand it in.

How pieces are sent and quoted

Workshops in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria and Gqeberha take walk-in repairs, and several workshops in the search results repair items posted in from across South Africa. Quotes are usually given per item, so list each ring, chain or earring separately. For gold, silver or platinum pieces, give the weight in grams.

What to write in your request

Name the item (ring, chain, bangle or earring) and the work needed, such as a resize, a claw repair, a clasp or polishing. Add the metal, the chain weave if it is a chain, and any stones. Say when you need it back, which city you are in and your budget. A photo of a broken claw or a crack helps a seller see the job before quoting.

On BlaBlaPrice you describe the repair in your own words in a chat, free for buyers, and you can add a photo. BlaBlaPrice asks for any missing details, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in South Africa, and shows the prices and businesses it found. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own offer, price and terms. Your contact details stay hidden, and you decide with whom to share them.

Questions and answers

How much does jewellery repair cost in South Africa?

Prices we found for November 2026 run from about R495 for a men's signet ring resize to about R550 per item for a platinum or palladium repair. The repair fee after damage from improper care is R340 for silver and R600 for gold. The final price depends on the item and the metal, so ask for a quote.

Does a workshop need a permit to work with gold in South Africa?

A workshop that works with gold, platinum or other precious metals should hold a jeweller's permit (PMJ) from the South African Diamond and Precious Metals Regulator. Ask the workshop about it before you leave a piece.

Can I send a piece for repair from another city?

Yes. Several workshops in the search results repair items sent from across South Africa, not only in the big cities. Ask the workshop how it returns the item before you post it.

When should I send a piece if I need it for December?

Send it in early November. December is the holiday period, and a piece handed in late December may not be ready in time. Ask for a return date in writing.
