More to know…
At Binded by Kim, I specialize in the repair and restoration of precious pieces, ensuring they can be worn and cherished once again. Whether you need a simple rebind or a more intricate restoration, I offer three styles to choose from:
Classic Rebinding – A clean and functional rebind similar to traditional styles.
Creative Rebinding – A personalized touch with unique knotting techniques.
Advanced Rebinding – Complex and detailed binding for intricate or unconventional pieces.
Selecting the Right Rebinding Option
To ensure your piece is suitable for the type of rebind you choose, please compare it to the example images provided. If you’re unsure, feel free to contact me—I’m happy to review a photo of your piece and advise on the best options available.
Important Considerations
Not all pieces can be bound in every style. Here’s what you need to know:
Toki Rebinding – A Toki must have shoulders carved into the stone to allow the cord to wrap securely. Please refer to images under creative rebinding
Teardrop & Advanced Rebinding – If your piece is a teardrop shape and you want an advanced rebind, it must have a drilled second hole and/or the stone under the bind be roughened or slashed to provide grip for the cord.
Why These Requirements? – For a durable and secure bind, the cord needs anchor points. Without grooves, shoulders, or a second hole, the binding will not hold as intended.
Shipping
After completing your checkout, you’ll receive a confirmation email with all the details you need for the next step.
This includes instructions for local drop-off (if you're nearby) or where to send your items by post from anywhere in New Zealand — return postage details to be included.
In Addition
I believe in full transparency, so you know what to expect. If you're uncertain whether your piece is suitable for a specific bind, just email me a photo, and I'll guide you through your options.
I look forward to helping restore and enhance your treasured piece!
