Can chains that have broken multiple times be salvaged?
One of the most frequently asked questions concerns severely damaged chains. The good news: even chains that are broken in several places can usually be salvaged. Philippe Pfeiffer uses special joining techniques and modern laser technology to carry out even complex repairs.
When dealing with chains that have broken multiple times, he first checks the overall stability of the material. Weak points are reinforced before the actual repair begins. By using a precision laser welder, the broken sections can be joined virtually invisibly. The result: a chain that is often stronger than the original.
If a complete repair is not possible, Philippe Pfeiffer offers creative alternatives. He can use the existing material to create a completely new piece of jewelry – true to his motto "From old to new".

Transformation: When repair becomes reinvention
Philippe Pfeiffer's particular strength lies in the redesign of antique jewelry. Instead of a simple repair, you can opt for a complete redesign. Existing gemstones and materials are integrated into a modern design.
This approach is particularly useful in the following situations:
- Inherited jewelry that does not match personal taste
- severely damaged pieces where a simple repair is insufficient
- Jewelry from past decades that needs to be modernized
