What We Offer

An Atelier for Jewellery & Time

From ring resizing to watch batteries, our Brighton workshop handles jewellery and watch repairs, cleaning and restoration, and gold & silver buying — all carried out on-site, under one roof.

The Detail

Seen Under the Loupe

A jeweller's eye is trained to see what a glance misses — a hairline crack at a claw, a worn hinge, a stone sitting a fraction loose. It's this level of attention, learned over 20 years at the bench, that we bring to every piece that crosses our counter.

  • Every repair assessed by eye and loupe before we quote
  • Work carried out on-site, by our own jewellers
  • Nothing sent away to a third party

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an appointment for a repair or watch battery in Brighton?

No appointment is needed for most jobs. Pop into our Brighton workshop on Baker Street and we'll assess your piece on the spot — watch batteries, strap fittings and many simple repairs are completed while you wait.

Do you buy gold and silver in Brighton?

Yes. We offer free, no-obligation valuations on gold, silver and platinum, with same-day payment on anything we accept. Bring items in-store and one of our jewellers will value them in front of you.

How long do jewellery repairs take?

Many repairs, from ring resizing to clasp and chain fixes, are completed the same day. More involved restoration or stone-setting work may take a little longer, and we'll always give you a clear timeframe before we start.

Where is The Wishing Well located?

We're on Baker Street in the heart of Brighton, a five-minute walk from Brighton railway station (less than a mile), and easily reached from Hove, Kemptown and across the city.

Is The Wishing Well an independent jeweller?

Yes. We're independent and family-run, with every repair carried out on-site by our own jewellers rather than sent away to a third party.
