Jewellers who repair locally

Options
Is anyone aware of a local jewellers preferably belfast or antrim direction that would carry out a simple repair (resoldering) on site or at least locally.

I have to get the DWs necklace fob repaired & its a family heirloom from 1910 so dont want to have it sent away if at all possible.

Thanks in advance

    Lunns II repair on site. I have had an item repaired there however they did make it so not sure if they repair things they haven't made. It's worth calling and they were not that expensive.

    My dh recently had my late grandmothers ring restored by Margaret Forbes in Arthur Street in Belfast and they did a fantastic job (can pm you pics and details of what was done if you want to see it) Only problem was that they did send it away but it was back a week later.

    There is a little jewellers at the bottom of the Holywood Road called Vine (opposite the road that leads to the Arches Health Centre) who I have used for a few small repairs... very good, quick and easy to pay.

    I can also recommend Vines, holywood Road. A nice man, dosent stick the arm in unlike some of the bigger shops.
    By the way, he is excellent for watch repairs.

    Yep! Vines is a great wee place with personal service second to none - a dying breed nowadays.
