Free Jewelry Cleaning & Inspection

Take advantage of our JEWELRY INSPECTION AND CLEANING service! Entirely FREE!

We clean and inspect thousands of jewelry items every year, and have averted numerous close calls as a result of these inspections. On one occasion we were able to alert one fortunate lady that her diamond was being held by only ONE remaining prong on a setting that had at one time had six prongs!

If repair work is required on your ring we will provide you with a no obligation estimate for the repair of your item. We will be happy to show you under magnification the problem areas, and discuss the reasons why a repair is recommended.

What we do:

Inspect

• your setting to any issues that should require attention.
  • all gems are tight
  • metal holding the gems in place is sufficient to withstand daily wearglued gems are tight
  • prongs are all straight
• gems for damage
• the metal
  • look for thinning shanks on rings
  • examine delicate elements and stress points for excessive wear and cracking
  • look for worn links on bracelets
  • inspect bails on pendants to ensure security
  • check security of clasps
  • study chains for weak links that are vulnerable
  • ensure that earring backs are snug

Clean

• quick cleaning with high pressure steam (for those who cannot leave for longer periods - 5 minutes or so)
• deep cleaning with heated, ultrasonic cleaner followed by high pressure steaming (20 mins to several hours)
• some pieces must be hand cleaned due to heat or chemical sensitivity, or settings that are vulnerable to damage from high intensity ultrasonic vibrations.
