Does anybody here do solder repairs? I think these are worth saving if for no other reason than because I like them. They're signed Judith Jack sterling and marcasite earrings. Can this be repaired and have the repair be reliable?

Hi- I can ask my jeweler on Monday when I'm there- he gives us wholesale prices ( he does most of the jewelry store repairs for the whole city) - I'm guessing it would be 10-12 dollars based on what I've had him do- just not sure if you add shipping it back and forth you wouldn't be able to get a new pair on eBay for the same price. But I'll check so we know. Pretty earrings and a nice quality designer. Jen

Yeah. We have one jewelry store up here and he doesn't do repairs. It's an hours drive down the mountain to the "Big City". Just the gas money alone makes it not cost effective. Welcome to the wonders of small town mountain life.
As much as I like them I may just go ahead and sell them as a repair set. Now that I think about it, any other option is probably too expensive to consider. Just a little sad about that, but oh well, it's been that kind of week.
