Choose the care your jewelry needs
Residue, surface wear and a loose setting call for different kinds of attention. Cleaning removes buildup; polishing changes the metal surface. Discuss both separately, especially when a piece has delicate details or a finish you want to preserve.
An inspection before cleaning or polishing
Bring rings, bracelets, necklaces or earrings and tell us what you have noticed. The stones, treatments, settings and metal help determine an appropriate cleaning method. Mention any loose stones, repairs or changes in appearance.
For an heirloom or collectible piece, point out engraving, hallmarks, patina and edges you want to retain. Polishing is optional and should be considered on its own. If a setting or clasp needs attention, start with our jewelry repair service.
Visit our showroom at 2801 N Federal Hwy, Boca Raton, FL 33431.
Before you bring your jewelry
Describe the concern
Tell us whether you see buildup, dullness, scratches or a change in the setting. Mention anything that feels loose or catches on clothing.
Share what you know
Bring available gemstone reports and describe earlier treatments, repairs or plating. If you do not know, say so before a cleaning method is chosen.
Explain what to preserve
Point out inscriptions, hallmarks, textured finishes or signs of age that matter to you. Discuss the effect of any proposed polishing.
Agree on the scope
Review which services are suitable, their cost and the expected completion time. Cleaning, polishing, plating and repairs are separate choices.
How a jewelry care visit works
Bring the piece for review
Use the repair consultation calendar and mention cleaning or polishing. The team can assess the condition and discuss your priorities.
Choose the appropriate service
Review the proposed method, expected result and any limitations. Approve the scope, estimate and timing before work starts.
Review the result and care advice
At collection, discuss the work performed and how to care for the piece at home. Ask when another inspection would be appropriate.
What affects the care recommendation
Stone and treatment
Gemstones and treatments can respond differently to heat, chemicals and vibration. There is no single cleaning method suitable for every piece.
Settings and condition
Loose stones, worn prongs and earlier repairs may need attention before cleaning. Describe any recent impact or change you have noticed.
Metal and plating
The metal, surface coating and existing finish affect the options. Ask whether plating is present and whether it needs separate care.
Original details
Polishing removes metal and may soften fine details. Discuss engraving, maker marks, edges and textured surfaces before deciding on refinishing.
The result you want
A cleaner appearance does not require every sign of wear to disappear. Discuss the tradeoffs between surface improvement and preserving the original finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should jewelry be professionally cleaned?
The right interval depends on how often you wear it, the setting and its condition. Ask for guidance for your piece rather than following one schedule for all jewelry.
Is polishing the same as cleaning?
No. Cleaning removes residue. Polishing changes the metal surface and can remove material, so it should be discussed separately and used only when appropriate.
Is ultrasonic cleaning suitable for every gemstone?
No. Some stones, treatments and settings can be damaged by ultrasonic cleaning. Have the piece assessed first. GIA explains these limits in its jewelry care guidance.
What if a stone feels loose?
Set the piece aside and arrange an inspection before wearing or cleaning it again. The setting may need repair before a cleaning service is appropriate.
Can you complete the service while I wait?
Ask about availability when booking. Timing depends on the condition, service needed and workload. Confirm the estimate after inspection rather than assuming same day completion.
Can I bring a watch for cleaning or polishing?
Contact the team with the brand and model. A bracelet, case and movement require different care. See our watch repair and servicing page to discuss suitable options.
Will polishing affect an engraving or hallmark?
It can affect fine details. Show the team any markings, edges or finishes you want preserved and discuss the limitations before authorizing surface work.
Are cleaning, polishing and repairs included together?
Ask for an estimate that identifies each service and any charges. Confirm whether plating, setting repairs or other work is needed and review any applicable written service terms.
