    Jewellery Restoration

    We will assess your item of jewellery that is to be restored and advice you on the work that is needed. We can also provide an estimate before the work is carried out. Most antique pieces are of sentimental value so we endeavour to restore the original settings this includes, matching old cut stones, polishing damaged stones and so maintaining the intrinsic value of the piece.

    Cleaning and Rhodium Plating

    Antique jewellery can gather huge amount dirt over time; we have various methods to clean most jewellery products. One method is using an ultrasonic machine to clean diamonds and precious metals, this machine sends out high frequencies vibration, which sterilises the product making it look as good as new. If a product has been bought here we have no problem giving it a clean if needed.    

    White gold and platinum pieces can be rhodium plated (Rhodium is a member of the platinum family), this gives the item a high polished finish. There is a certain procedure to rhodium plate a product, firstly the item of jewellery has the old rhodium removed, then polished to remove any marks or scratches and lastly the new plating of rhodium is applied, so leaving the piece as new. Customers often have pieces rhodium plated to enhance their lustre.
