Expert Jewellery & Watch Repair Services
At Goodwins Edinburgh we are very proud of our jewellery and watch repair services — quietly carried out by our family workshop, and overseen across four generations.
Our specialist workshop, staffed by trusted craftsmen
At both our branches we are able to carry out minor jewellery and watch repairs while you wait, including watch battery and strap replacements. We have an onsite workshop which allows our highly trained staff to offer a full jewellery cleaning, polishing and rhodium plating service.
Rest assured that all items are fully insured while in our care. At Goodwins we pride ourselves on our honest and steadfast advice.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to get in touch — you’ll find us in Edinburgh’s New Town and West End.
Jewellery Repairs and Alterations
At Goodwins, we are dedicated to providing exceptional jewellery repair services and alterations. Our specialist workshop, staffed by trusted craftsmen, regularly works with silver, gold and platinum — whether antique or modern. We provide a comprehensive aftercare programme for jewellery purchased from our shops, ensuring your precious items receive the care they deserve.
Visit Goodwins Rose Street or Queensferry Street to enquire about our pearl stringing service. We can arrange for stone re-polishing and a full estimate is always provided before any work begins.
Whether you need a ring resized, a bracelet adjusted, or a piece redesigned to better suit your style, we offer free and friendly advice along with no-obligation quotations for all jewellery repairs and alterations.
Watch Repairs
We specialise in providing a comprehensive watch repair service. Both our shops handle watch repairs — including battery replacements and strap changes — all done while you wait where possible.
We also offer in-house polishing and rhodium plating at competitive prices. Our experienced craftsmen are well-versed in working with a wide range of timepieces, ensuring that your watch is in safe hands.
Valuations
We provide professional valuation services for jewellery, silver and watches, ensuring each item is carefully assessed by our experienced team. Jewellery valuations are charged on a per-item basis, with an estimate provided on inspection of the items requiring valuation.
All items are fully insured whilst they are with us. If you’d just like some general advice, please feel free to visit one of our Edinburgh shops with your jewellery.
Purchasing
At Goodwins we have been purchasing jewellery and silverware from the public for well over 80 years. We continue this tradition and can offer to buy or part-exchange while you wait.
If you are looking to sell, we recommend visiting either our Edinburgh Queensferry Street or Rose Street branch. If your items don’t happen to be suitable for our stock, we will endeavour to advise you the best place to take your items and receive a fair offer.
Engraving
At Goodwins we offer a comprehensive hand-engraving service on all precious metals, by hugely experienced engravers with specific expertise.
From engraving simple initials to detailed seal engraving, we will ensure your item is professionally engraved to your specification. We are always happy to suggest styles and fonts — if you have any inspirational images or ideas, visit us in store and we’ll help guide you through the process.
