Yo dawg. I had my size b box & tounge resized as it was too big. I went to a local jeweler and they did it for me. It didn't look great at first, but as it has aged a bit, the area where the link was joined has smoothed out a bit. So just be aware that the job from a local person may not be as nice as GAH could do. But I paid $60 and GAH quoted me with $300 something which is bananas.

@Oaktavia Awesome! My curb chain is a bit smaller, so it would show repair even less. That’s good to know!! Thank you

[Anesthetist]

Any competent jeweler should be able to size a bracelet. $300 for a link removal is absurd!

[Oaktavia]

@Danimal506 yep I meant to say that in my post, it'll be easier to repair something smaller.

You gotta be careful, with curb bracelet don’t end up getting it twisted.

I recently inquired about having some links removed and was quoted $350.

[goosehd]

@jebrand @Oaktavia was quoted a year or two ago if I recall correctly.

I just looked it up and can confirm it was $350 as well.

In the new world order, that’s likely the cost to shorten a ball chain…

[Mizmazzle]

$700 to remove a link in 2026

With the supposed price increase due to raw materials prices, they should be giving a freaking refund to remove a link.

@Danimal506 I had some links removed on my curb chain bracelet size C. Brought it to a local silversmith and they dialed it in for $120 CAD. I just did some digging for local custom silversmiths as opposed to going the store front jeweler route.

[Danimal506]

@derek111 That’s smart. Going straight to someone who works primarily with silver. I’m sure there is no shortage of them here in Austin, TX. Thank you for the tip

[Chibs]

@pechelman wouldn’t they send back the extra removed link(s)?

[pechelman]

i don't know and i was only half joking @Chibs

Supposedly if you send back cut off ball chain links they'll send you back a few stickers for the silver? At least I swore i read or heard that somewhere.
