Find out whether the damage is isolated
A break from an accidental pull can be different from links thinning through years of wear. Look at the whole chain with a jeweller, rather than considering only the visible break. Repeated breakage can point to more widespread problems.
Weigh cost against value
Compare the repair quote with the cost of a suitable replacement, then consider sentimental value. Repair may make sense even when it is not the cheapest option. Equally, replacing a heavily worn chain may protect a pendant you want to keep.
Keep the parts and avoid temporary fixes
Put the chain and any loose fittings in a small closed bag. Glue and home soldering can make later repair harder. A clasp or jump ring may be the real issue, so include every part you have.
