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.\

“Since the 1980s, I had my dad’s montblanc 149 pen. It never worked, scratched and chipped. Through the years I check other businesses, but no one would touch this quality pen. I saw an ad for my jewelry repair and decided to send it off. I was very glad I did! They were prompt with repair cost and answered my inquiries when they experienced delays. I received it today and it is in perfect working condition; it looks new and no one suspects it is over 60 years old. It was worth waiting 4 months. The communication and service are top notch and I encourage those needing a Montblanc pen doctor, check these folks out.”

“I do understand that this was harder project given that it’s a vintage Russian movement, but I can’t tell you enough how much it meant that you searched all over Russia/Ukraine for the parts needed to complete the work. The watch is running absolutely amazing and can’t believe how good it is running. It’s truly a centerpiece to my vintage watch collection and I absolutely love it. Thanks again for all the hard work and time you put into it and that’s what prompted this message. I do believe in acknowledging hard work and this is truly wonderful. Thank you again and keep up the good work.”
