Master Jeweller Andrew Berry Announces the Forthcoming Publication of Jewellery Repairs At The Bench

12 Feb 2026

Jewellery Repairs At The Bench, due for publication in the coming weeks, is a comprehensive, fully illustrated professional handbook created from a lifetime of real bench experience. Written by Andrew Berry, master jeweller, educator, and founder of At The Bench, the book offers an in‑depth exploration of practical, workshop‑proven techniques that reflect the real demands and challenges of modern repair work.

With decades spent at the bench, Andrew Berry has become internationally recognised for blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary, efficient workflows. His meticulous attention to detail, focus on professional standards, and clear, accessible teaching style have made him a trusted figure within the global jewellery trade. Through At The Bench, Andrew has supported and trained thousands of jewellers, helping to elevate repair and manufacturing standards across the industry.

In addition to his educational work, Andrew is a respected industry demonstrator and influencer, collaborating closely with leading jewellery tool manufacturers and equipment suppliers. His live demonstrations, workshops, product showcases, and in‑depth technical reviews have positioned him as a key voice at the intersection of craftsmanship, innovation, and bench‑top technology. These long‑standing relationships ensure that his teaching remains current, credible, and directly aligned with the tools, materials, and workflows used by today’s professionals.

The book shines a spotlight not only on technical excellence, but also on the responsibility, value, and artistry inherent in jewellery repair. Repair is framed as a discipline of both skill and care—one that preserves sentiment, extends the lives of treasured pieces, and supports more sustainable practices within the trade. At a time when customers increasingly seek to repair rather than replace, the book positions repair work as a vital and rewarding specialism central to modern jewellery services.

Beyond technique, the book addresses the realities of a professional workshop:

• assessing risk and responsibility when working on customer pieces
• understanding structural integrity, wear, and long‑term durability
• improving workflow efficiency without compromising craftsmanship
• selecting the right tools for each job based on cost, precision, and safety
• communicating repair options clearly and professionally to clients

Jewellery Repairs At The Bench is already generating strong interest among jewellers, trade suppliers, educational institutions, and industry partners. Its blend of technical depth, real‑world experience, and professional insight makes it ideally suited for training programmes, apprenticeship pathways, retail workshops, independent makers, and anyone seeking to refine or expand their repair expertise.

This book represents Andrew Berry’s ongoing commitment to raising standards, supporting skill development, and advancing the profession worldwide. It is poised to become an essential resource for jewellers seeking to improve confidence, accuracy, and efficiency at the bench.
