Cleaning, Polishing, and Inspection Services
When jewelry is worn every day, it is exposed to accidental glancing hits and bumps that can cause damage, the damage that you might not notice at the time. Jewelry should be inspected at least once a year. The below is what we do at Malka Diamonds to inspect your valuable jewelry:
So, what does a jewelry inspection usually involve?
CLEANING
First, your jewelry will be professionally cleaned by our experienced staff. There is no charge at Malka Diamonds to “clean” your jewelry in our modern ultrasonic cleaner.
SAFETY CHECK
There is no charge to do a jewelry inspection at Malka Diamonds. Checking the safety of your items is the main reason you should have your jewelry inspected. Our staff of professionals will use high powered magnification to check your setting for problems such as worn, bent or broken prongs. Your stones will be examined to see if they are loose, and if they are, they will be tightened by our master diamond setter. Any tightening or setting work will be done. If prongs or areas of the precious metal are worn, we can rebuild or replace the worn areas and restore them to their original condition.
POLISHING
Polishing jewelry is NOT the same as cleaning jewelry. Cleaning just removes dirt and soil; it does NOT polish the surface.
Polishing is a complete hand process of using a series of a few buff wheels, This process will remove the majority of surface scuffs and scratches. The precious metal then receives a final high luster polish so that it looks like new.
