The Clean & polish process
Jewelry isn’t just an accessory; it’s a treasured reflection of your style and memories. Our guide covers everything you need to keep your jewelry, whether it’s sterling silver, gold, or plated metals, in pristine condition. With expert cleaning, polishing, and inspection, we ensure your pieces always shine like new.
Routine Care for Timeless Elegance: Clean, Polish, and Inspect
Regular maintenance is key to preserving the beauty and longevity of your jewelry. Our process involves:
- Buffing and Polishing: This initial step removes minor scratches, smoothing the surface to restore its shine and smoothness.
- Thorough Cleaning: We meticulously clean your jewelry to eliminate dirt, oil, and residues. The method varies depending on the gemstones, using an ultra-sonic cleaner for hardy stones like diamonds, rubies, and sapphires, while providing delicate care for sensitive gems like opals and pearls.
- Steam Cleaning: A final steam clean ensures no dirt or cleaning agents remain, leaving your jewelry spotless.
Reviving the Shine: The Plating Process
For many jewelry items, a crucial fourth step is the plating process. This includes:
- Rhodium Plating for White Gold: To achieve that bright, white finish, white gold jewelry requires rhodium plating after cleaning and polishing.
- Re-Plating Silver and Gold-Plated Items: Jewelry made of sterling silver or brass, plated with gold or silver, also needs re-plating post-cleaning to refresh its appearance.
A Reminder for Jewelry Owners
While not all jewelry demands repair, every piece benefits from routine care and maintenance. By entrusting your jewelry to our expert services, you ensure its beauty and durability for years to come. Keep your treasures looking as magnificent as the day you received them with our specialized clean, polish, and inspection process.\

“Sent my automatic watch to these folks for repair as it was no longer keeping accurate time, they assessed the watch for needed repairs and sent me the estimate which I approved.
About three weeks later I received a email stating that my watch had shipped, they provide a tracking number that I might keep a track of it, upon receiving the watch I inspected it and have to say that they did a beautiful job on the exterior cleaning and polish plus they replaced the clasp, I can only assume that the work done to the movement is of equal quality and detail this will be born out over time as I see how the accuracy is.
They also provided the pressure test ticket in the return package.
I would recommend this company if you have need of jewelry repair.”

“I cannot say enough about this company!! I have a 20+ year old Ebel watch, and hesitated to take it to a jewelry store again for a new battery because of the exorbitant cost. I found this company online and decided to take a chance. I am so happy I did. Their communication is exceptional, as are their repair services. I also could not believe how much less it cost me. I just received the watch, and it looks great and is keeping perfect time. I wholeheartedly recommend them!”

“I was so nervous about sending out my wedding rings, but this company went out of the way to ensure that they were safe, they contacted me when it got there, when it was inspected, which included pictures, an estimate on the repairs and the reasons they were being made, once the estimate was approved, they let me know exactly how long it would take to repair and return to me, which only a few days, and it looks amazing. I would recommend this to everyone”

“Just got my rings back and they look ten times better then when we bought them. They fit perfectly and you can’t tell they were resized at all. I’m so thankful for the work My Jewelry Repair did after being told by multiple places they wouldn’t or couldn’t resize my rings because of the material or the jewels in the bands.”

“I was a little skeptical about having my jewelry fixed through a company via internet, however, every part of the process was excellent! They walk you through entire process and it is secure and turn around was quick. They fixed a necklace I had worn only twice and polished it and returned back to me within 2 weeks time. Price was very affordable as well. I HIGHLY Recommend this company for all your jewelry repairs.”
