Our expert designers here at JewelSmiths can work with virtually any idea to create breathtaking, artistic, beautiful pieces that set you apart from any custom designer collection. Come by today to see the difference working with a professional jeweler makes.
Our retail jewelers can handle all types of jewelry including fine, delicate or costume items. Our craftspeople are trained to evaluate, prepare and repair jewelry that requires special attention. We have the expertise and knowledge that separates our master jewelers from the rest.
Our jewelers have prepared these cleaning tips to keep your jewelry looking new:
A toothbrush is the easiest and oldest cleaning tricks in the book. Make sure that you use an old, soft bristle brush, because the hard bristle can loosen gemstones from their settings. Lightly brush at hard to reach areas with the brush while frequently applying cleaning solution. Never use the brush to remove caked on dirt or grime because sometimes the dirt is holding the gemstone into place, especially if the setting is worn or weak. Old toothbrushes are also great for cleaning watchbands, but remember to stay away from the watch case/movement, as it will develop rust - a killer of quartz or mechanical movements.
Avoid cleaning damaged, abrasive, cracked or broken jewelry. As with any other item broken our badly scratched items can exacerbate or worsen the problem. Also, if you see that your items are damaged while you are wearing them it only makes sense to remove and have them looked at. You know the old saying, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."
You should have all your jewelry checked by our professional jewelers to look out for problems or concerns. A jewelry inspection allows your jeweler an opportunity to professionally clean and inspect wear areas that can lead to breakage, abrasion or god forbid a lost gemstone! Treat your jewelry like your health and it will take care of you - emotionally and financially.
A major shortcut like a polishing cloth must not be used on gemstones unless they are the major colors of the flag - red (ruby) white (diamond) blue (sapphire). Some gemstones can have their facets/angles polished off or rubbed out by hard polishing. One good example is tanzanite, any polishing on the gemstone can rub out or dull its brilliance.
