Repair day Nov 2025 - Jewellery Repair and Reconstruction

Do you have a piece of jewellery sitting in a box needing a revamp or waiting for a new lease of life? Do you own a piece of inherited or pre-loved jewellery with a missing link, clasp or clip. Looking to shorten or give extra length to a thrifted piece or needing to restring a well-worn favourite? Bring along one broken item of jewellery and Anna will teach you how to fix it. Learn some basic jewellery repair tips and tricks while you get your item repaired and find out what tools are needed to do this. Necklaces, bracelets and earrings can be fixed on the day.

Anna Kocsis from Mancika Designs asks -Why buy new jewellery? She has been an upcycling jeweller for the past 15 years and have definitely learned to appreciate the craft and imagination that go into making something new from something old. Not only will your piece be unique but will also have a story to tell as well as obviously look stunning :)
