Some of the most meaningful pieces that come through our studio door aren't new. They arrive wrapped in a scarf, tucked into a pill box, or zipped into a little velvet pouch someone has been carrying around for months. Sometimes years. A ring that belonged to a grandmother. A chain that snapped at the worst possible moment. A prong that's been catching on sweaters long enough that the stone is genuinely at risk.
These pieces matter. The people who bring them to us aren't just looking for a repair. They're looking for someone they can trust with something irreplaceable. That's what jewelry repair at Universal Deco is about.
Fine jewelry repair services in Denver
At Universal Deco, we offer a complete range of fine jewelry repair and restoration services, each handled with careful craftsmanship and attention to detail. Whether your piece needs a simple adjustment or a full restoration, we bring the same level of care to every project.
If your piece needs something outside of this list, bring it in anyway. We're always happy to evaluate it and give you an honest sense of what's possible.
Jewelry repair for everyday pieces and heirlooms alike
We work on everything from rings you wear every day to pieces you've been afraid to touch. A prong that needs retipping before you lose the stone. A vintage clasp that stopped working years ago. A ring you inherited that doesn't fit and has been sitting in a drawer ever since.
We also work on pieces that need more than a repair. If you have inherited jewelry you love but wouldn't wear in its current form, our team can talk you through redesign options at the same time. Sometimes a repair conversation turns into something more, and we're ready for both.
Heirloom jewelry restoration in Denver
Restoring an heirloom requires a different kind of attention than repairing a newer piece. You're working with older construction techniques, metal that may have thinned over decades of wear, and settings that were built to different standards. Our team understands that. We approach every restoration with care for what the piece already is, not just what we want it to become.
If you're not sure whether your piece needs a repair or a full restoration, bring it in. We'll take a look and walk you through what we recommend and why.
Why bring your jewelry to Universal Deco
Universal Deco is a fine jewelry studio and boutique in Denver's LoHi neighborhood, founded by Fernanda Durmer. We're a WOC-owned, independent business that has been part of this community since we opened our doors at 1600 Boulder Street. When you bring a piece to us for repair, it's handled with the same attention and intention we bring to every custom commission we take on.
All metal additions and repairs are done using 100% recycled gold.
How to book a jewelry repair in Denver
Start by scheduling a repair appointment online. You'll have the option to share photos and a brief description of what needs attention so our team can prepare before you come in.
You're also welcome to stop by the studio at 1600 Boulder Street in LoHi, Wednesday through Saturday from 12 to 7pm, and bring the piece with you. Sometimes it's easiest to just put it on the table and talk through it in person.
