Our 10-member team of Tasmanian jewellers offers a huge range of skills and craftsmanship and can tackle the most demanding repair or alteration. All work is completed in house, we do not outsource labour giving our client’s peace of mind knowing where their jewellery is at any given time. Doing work entirely in-house also allows Metal Urges to back our jewellery craftsmanship and we proudly stand by our reputation for quality and apply the same dedication and attention to even the smallest jewellery repair jobs.
We provide obligation-free quotes and we don’t accept deposit or payment until you are completely satisfied and happy with our work.
