Repairing a Broken Amber Rose Pendant: Advice & Options
Question
Amber Rose Pendant
My amber rose pendant dropped on a ceramic tile floor and a piece of the 'petal' broke. This was acquired in Gdansk. What can I possibly do to fix it?
Thank you for any advice you can give.
AnswerHello Evie and thank you for your inquiry. Amber is very difficult to repair. If you cannot find a gemologist or jeweler that will attempt it and you still want to wear it anyway, I'd try a very small amount of super glue especially if the piece is a smooth fit. I've never tried it myself but if you can't wear the piece the way it is, you've nothing to lose. Watchmakers glue is very good especially on delicate items. You can purchase it online at FDJ Jewelry Supplies or possibly at your local jewelry supply house. Hope this helps and good luck..
