Jewelry Cleaning & Inspection
Clean. Checked. Documented.

Ultrasonic and steam cleaning paired with a bench-master inspection — stone security, prong wear, and structural integrity reported back on every piece.

What jewelry cleaning & inspection is

And when a piece
actually needs it.

Professional cleaning uses ultrasonic cavitation and steam to lift the compacted skin oil, soap, and lotion that dulls a piece from underneath the stones, where a cloth cannot reach. The inspection that comes with it is the more valuable half: a bench jeweller checks prong tips, stone security, solder joints, and shank wear under magnification. This is where a loose stone gets caught while it is still a $15 tightening rather than a claim.

Typical cost

Quoted in writing after evaluation — no bench work begins until the price is approved.

Overview

Engineered for
retail programs.

Cleaning is the most visible service a retailer offers — and the most common entry point for catching a loose stone before it becomes a warranty claim. Every piece we clean is inspected under magnification by a bench jeweler.

Inspection findings are reported back with a clear repair recommendation, so retail staff can have an informed conversation with the customer instead of guessing.

FAQ · Jewelry Cleaning & Inspection

Jewelry Cleaning & Inspection,
answered.

Specific questions about jewelry cleaning & inspection — what it costs, when it's needed, and what we do differently.

Is ultrasonic cleaning safe for every piece?
No. Emeralds, opals, pearls, turquoise, and fracture-filled or heavily included stones are cleaned by hand and steam instead. We identify those at intake, before anything goes into a tank.
How often should a ring be cleaned and inspected?
Every six months for daily-worn pieces. The cleaning is cosmetic; the inspection is what prevents stone loss.
What do I get back besides a clean piece?
A written condition note covering prong wear, stone tightness, and any structural findings, with a clear recommendation — so the conversation with the customer is informed rather than a guess.
