Amber teething necklace repair?

Postby smilinglou » Fri Apr 05, 2013 11:04 pm

Does anyone know of anyone who could repair and replace one part of the screw clasp on an amber teething necklace, I can't really afford to buy a new one and this one is perfect other than one missing side of the screw clasp, obviously I would pay for this and postage etc.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I'm no expert at all (I play at making beaded jewellery :lookround: ) but it's probably easiest and cheapest for you to replace the clasp yourself. You could get another screw clasp for almost nothing (eg http://www.beadtime.co.uk/clasps.php?item=8823, not a site I've ever used myself but these were the first screw clasps I saw in a quick search!) and open the ring on the end to put it onto the thread loop/jump ring on the necklace. Or maybe use extra jump rings to attach it if you don't want to work on the clasp itself?

HTH?

Thanks for your help slebro I possibly could do it myself but it looks more like that above and its for a baby or small child to wear so I'd be worried about knotting it right etc they have special ways of doing them usuall.
That's a pic above of the clasp and necklace
Thanks again for your help and the link x

I would ask Kate at Dino Daisy, she probably wouldn't charge a lot to fix it xx

Amazingly I found the other side of the screw clasp today in a clear out so I might try and fix myself, I think its just tying it on.
I've contacted kate at dino daisy too
