Sample Repairs and Pricing

Restoring Gucci Angry Forest Wolf Head Rings

Before
Before restoration: Gucci wolf head rings

A client brought me a set of Gucci Angry Forest Wolf Head Rings that had been gifted by a family member. While the rings were still in good condition, the original finish had completely worn away.

I cleaned them in the ultrasonic, researched reference images, and confirmed the look with the client before starting. The rings were then darkened in liver of sulfur to bring out the depth in the wolves’ fur and faces.

In-process detail during restoration

Using a Sunshine Cloth, I carefully polished away the excess so the raised areas shone while the recessed details stayed dark. After a final rinse and steam cleaning, the restoration was complete.

After
After restoration: Gucci wolf head rings

The project took two days, including research, and cost $45.


Macramé Turquoise Necklace Repair

Before: macramé turquoise necklace needing repair

A client brought me a natural turquoise beaded necklace that had been repaired once before by a friend. The original piece was made entirely with macramé knots, but her friend had re-knotted it using the traditional pearl-knotting technique with silk cord. Since this was her favorite necklace and she wore it almost every day, the silk cord eventually broke — the natural turquoise beads were simply too heavy for silk.

I suggested re-knotting the necklace using S-Lon, a strong synthetic cord designed for knotting heavier beads. The client wanted to return to the original macramé style and was hoping for a specific color as well, which was easy to accommodate since S-Lon comes in a wide variety of colors.

After: re-knotted macramé necklace

I re-knotted the necklace using the macramé technique to bring it as close as possible back to the original design, including recreating the macramé clasp.

After
Final result: macramé necklace restored

Turnaround: 4 days

Cost: $125
