While home cleaning is great for maintenance, professional cleaning at our Sacramento studio involves high-grade ultrasonic and steam technology that removes deep-seated oils, lotions, and debris. Most importantly, a professional cleaning includes a "Jewelry Health Check," where our master jeweler inspects your settings to ensure no stones are loose and no prongs are dangerously worn.

Our comprehensive cleaning and inspection service includes:

• Deep Ultrasonic Cleaning: To vibrate away dirt in hard-to-reach areas.

• Steam Finishing: To restore a high-level shine and "store-front" brilliance.

• Expert Inspection: A master jeweler examines the piece under magnification to check for metal fatigue or structural issues.

• Polishing (Optional): We can also provide professional polishing and rhodium plating (for white gold) to remove surface scratches and restore the original luster.

We recommend a professional cleaning and inspection every 6 to 12 months for pieces you wear daily, such as engagement rings or wedding bands. For heirlooms or items worn occasionally, once a year is usually sufficient to ensure the metal and stones remain secure.

Yes, for routine maintenance. We recommend using warm water and a mild, grease-cutting dish soap with a very soft-bristled toothbrush.

Important Note: Avoid home cleaning for delicate stones like pearls, opals, turquoise or emeralds without expert guidance, as these can be damaged by certain soaps or temperatures. Feel free to ask us for a specific care guide tailored to your gemstones.

We recommend booking a 15-minute consultation so we can provide dedicated attention to your pieces. During this time, we can perform a quick health check and discuss any necessary repairs or restoration work on the spot.

Standard clean-and-check services can often be completed while you wait or within a short window. If your piece requires professional polishing, rhodium plating, or structural repair, we will provide an accurate timeline during your visit.
