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.\

“Thank you, thank you, thank you. Recently I sent you my Bulova watch for cleaning and overhaul. I was unable to find any jeweler in my immediate area, the Little Rock, AR area or the Memphis, TN area to do the work. I found you online and with some hesitation and apprehension, sent you my watch. You did acknowledge receipt and did provide an analysis of necessary repairs. I did call a couple of times and was a little concerned that repairs would require more time than I thought and that parts needed to be ordered. My apprehension grew. You had my watch and my payment. Then you notified me that my watch had shipped and when it arrived a couple of days ago I could not have been more impressed with your packaging and more so with the results. My watch looks better than new and now is keeping perfect time. I am absolutely satisfied with your work and will without hesitation recommend MyJewelryRepair to any and everyone that may need your services. You deserve the highest rating for a job well done!”
