  I really can't recommend Tinker's Jewellers enough.  We have utilised their services a number of times for resizing, rhodium plating, watch battery and wristband adjustments, and they have always been helpful, efficient and done an excellent job.
But more recently, I approached them asking for their advice about reselling an engagement ring which I had replaced with a different style of ring.  They offered such helpful, wise and honest advice, and went above and beyond in helping me navigate what to do.  If you're looking for a helpful, trustworthy and highly skilled jeweller in the Outer-Eastern suburbs of Melbourne, then you should definitely try Tinkers.

  Had a tricky job modifying a vintage clasp. Alex set my expectations on what could go wrong. In the end he completed the job perfectly in under an hour. Very happy and would recommend.

Why Choose Tinkers

Why Tinkers are the best

We save you time

We’re experts at what we do. Let us take care of your repairs, so that you can spend your time on what you really need to.

We save you money

Buying new all the time can get expensive. It’s often cheaper to buy a better quality product and have it repaired when and if needed. It also reduces unnecessary waste.

Convenient Location

We’re conveniently located at the Mountain Gate Shopping Centre, so you can drop off your repairs before you go shopping.

We care about the earth

With the amount of unnecessary waste growing around the world, we believe that if something can be repaired, rather than thrown away, then it should be!

Our Services

Jeweller

For all your jewellery needs, we’re here to help. Whether you are looking at gold or sterling silver, engagement rings, special anniversary rings, or necklaces, brooches or pins. We stock a wide range of jewellery. If you have something particular in mind, we can have it made for you. We love helping you find the perfect piece for whatever special occasion you might have in mind.

Shoe Repairs

Our onsite cobbler offers a full service for your footwear needs. From basic stitching, zip replacements, shoe stretching and heel and sole replacement, to key cutting and quality hand engraving. All our materials used are of the highest Italian made quality and made to last longer. No need to throw out your comfortable favourites, simply come see Mick for the right advice.

Tailor / Clothing Alterations

Our onsite dressmaker will handle all your tailoring needs. From simple hems and repairs to a full dress making service. We can perform clothing alterations to make that “good” piece of clothing “perfect”. Come and see Julie and experience the way tailoring should be, good old fashioned quality and service.

Key Cutting

Have you been locked out of your house and only have one set of keys left. Come in and we cut your keys while you wait. We have a range of light-weight colourful key blanks available. They are not only helpful for remembering what key unlocks each certain door, but being an aluminium compound, they are strong and very light in your pocket.
