Jewelry Polishing

Years of daily wear dull even the finest gold. A professional polish removes the scratches and haze that home cleaning can't touch.

Solitaire ring and pendant polished to a mirror finish

There's a difference between clean jewelry and polished jewelry. Home cleaners remove dirt; a professional polish at the jeweler's wheel removes the thousands of micro-scratches that make gold look tired — restoring the mirror finish it had in the showcase.

Our polishing service includes

  • Ultrasonic and steam cleaning to lift built-up grime
  • Machine polishing to remove surface scratches from gold, silver, and platinum
  • Rhodium plating for white gold that has yellowed (ask for a quote)
  • Stone tightness check under magnification — free with every polish

When to have jewelry polished

Engagement rings worn daily benefit from a professional polish about once a year. It's also the perfect finishing step after a repair or resizing, and the best way to prepare a piece before an anniversary, wedding, or photos.

Not sure if a piece can be revived? Bring it by — the honest answer is free.

Frequently asked questions

Will polishing remove deep scratches?

Light and moderate scratches polish out beautifully. Deep gouges can be improved and sometimes removed, depending on the metal and how much material can safely be worked.

Is polishing safe for gemstones?

Yes, when done by a professional who knows which stones tolerate ultrasonic cleaning and which need gentler methods — that judgment is part of the service.

How long does it take?

Many single pieces can be polished same-day. Larger batches or pieces needing rhodium plating take a bit longer.
