 Beadworks Boston,
Cambridge and Salem are pleased to accept most stringing and
knotting repairs that involve beads. By definition a repair is
the exact reconstruction of an existing, broken or worn-out piece
of jewelry. We accept weaving repairs on a case by case basis. We do not accept repairs
that require soldering. A reputable jeweler in your area is always
your best resource for soldering repairs.
Many jewelry repairs
we can actually teach you to do yourself. We teach classes year
round and we lend tools in the shops, sell most necessary materials,
and offer friendly staff support on weekdays.
We hope you will understand
that on the weekends we are frequently too busy to offer the
level of customer service you deserve when learning to do your
own repairs. Please stop in any weekday and let us assist you
with your beaded jewelry repairs.
When we accept
a repair from you, we will give you a written estimate of both
time and cost. We reserve the right not to accept any repair
that we do not feel we can complete satisfactorily. During some
times of the year the wait for a repair may exceed four weeks.
Please understand that on weekends we are frequently too busy
to offer the level of customer service you deserve when dropping
off a repair. Please stop in any weekday and let us assist you
with your beaded jewelry repairs.

Customers often
bring us broken or worn-out jewelry and/or new materials to be
made into finished jewelry. This is actually custom work. By
definition, custom work is the re-design and/or re-working of one
or more pieces of existing jewelry and/or new materials. 
We are pleased to now offer Private Appointments in our Boston store. Private Appointments are available for anyone who would like one-on-one assistance shopping, designing or constructing their jewelry or for anyone who is interested in one-on-one instruction in any jewelry making technique that uses beads.
