1803 18 kt yellow gold bracelet refurbishment in Europe

High All,

Any ideas of cast and who to send a 1803 18kt yellow gold bracelet to in-the Uk / eu for service and refinishing? The bracelet has moderate stretch. I would like to be tight again.

Cheers,
M

Michael Young would be your best bet on that side of the globe. He is in Hong Kong. Figure about $70-90 per link for tightening and polishing. It will look brand new when done.

This guy is based in the UK.
Apparently his work is good but takes a good while.

Goldschmiede Beste in Winterberg, Germany did two President bracelets for me.
One of those "upgraded" to a solid gold.

Top notch job, truly Meisterschaft and very friendly in communicating.
Not the cheapest but absolutely flawless and that's the only thing I care about.

Check out their website.

Sorry, no before pics, it wasn't all that bad really but here a pic after restoring it.
