Jewelry Cleaning

The cleaning process here at our store is one that cannot be replicated at home because of the required equipment necessary for professional cleaning. Although you can’t get follow the same process as we do in store, a little bit of at-home jewelry cleaning is never a bad idea to keep that ring sparkling bold and bright!

• Inspection

One of our goldsmiths will thoroughly inspect the ring for needed maintenance such as loose diamonds or gemstones, and worn prongs.

• Polishing

After inspecting the ring for repairs and loose gems, it is then sent to polishing. The metal of the ring is applied to a high-polishing wheel, which brings the luster back to its almost original bright finish. In extreme cases where a ring has deep gouges, it might also be necessary for it to be polished on an additional wheel.

• Ultrasonic Cleaning

From there, the ring soaks in a bubbling ultra-sonic bath to help remove the polishing compound and any additional residue.

• Steam & Sparkle

The final step is placing the ring under a high-pressure steamer to add that last bit of brilliant sparkle!
This year as you begin to check off your resolutions checklist, don’t forget the importance of adding your jewelry as the final step to kick-starting the new year!
