Polishing, Cleaning & Rhodium Plating, by Mail

Dull, scratched or gone slightly yellow? Mail your jewelry in and our master jewelers polish, deep-clean and re-plate it to look new again, then return it insured. Firm quote before any work begins.

What we do

Professional Polishing

Surface scratches and scuffs removed, original luster brought back.

Ultrasonic Cleaning

Deep cleaning that reaches behind settings and under stones, safely.

Rhodium Plating

White gold re-plated to a bright, protective white finish that lasts.

Scratch Removal

Light refinishing to lift deeper scratches before final polishing.

Refinish & Restore

Matte, brushed or high-polish finishes restored to how the piece was made.

Full Detailing

Cleaned, polished, plated and inspected — returned looking new.

Made to look new — safely

Over-polishing thins metal and rounds off detail; the wrong cleaner harms soft or treated stones. Our master jewelers polish appropriately for each metal and setting, protect delicate and treated gemstones, and re-plate white gold with rhodium for that bright white finish — with trained gemologists (HRD Antwerp and ERIJ) on hand for anything set with stones.

You approve a firm, flat quote after we inspect the piece, and it ships back to you fully insured, looking the way it did the day you got it.

Left alone, buildup does more than dull the shine — a film of lotion, soap and skin oil around a setting can hide a chip or a loosening prong that would otherwise be caught early, and deep surface scratches only get deeper with continued wear. It's also why we don't treat every piece the same in the cleaning room: an ultrasonic bath is fast and effective on solid gold and diamonds, but the same vibration and heat can crack or cloud porous or heat-sensitive stones like opals, emeralds, pearls and turquoise, so those are cleaned by hand instead. A wedding band worn every day for a decade needs a different amount of work than a brooch that's sat in a drawer growing tarnish in its detail — either way, the piece is assessed before anything touches it.

Where polishing and plating start

$99

Polish & Cleaning start at $99. That group covers ultrasonic cleaning, hand polishing, rhodium re-plating and deep steam cleaning for all metals.

This is the lowest starting point for the group — not the final price. Every piece is inspected and quoted individually, you get one firm number, and nothing is worked on until you approve it. What that number always covers is listed under what your quote includes, and every group’s starting price is in one table on the home page.

Wondering what that one number actually buys? Here is what a repair quote covers, line by line — and what would ever be quoted separately.

Cleaning it at home first? Here is the safe five-minute method and the six things to never use.

Vintage costume or plated piece? Whether re-plating is worth it depends on what is under the plating — repair or replace covers that honestly.

Scratches and dullness usually start in the drawer, not on the hand — see how to store jewelry so it stays off the bench.

Polishing & rhodium FAQ

Does polishing remove scratches?

Yes. Professional polishing removes surface scratches and scuffs and restores the original luster. Deep gouges may need light refinishing first, which we include in your quote.

What is rhodium plating and do I need it?

Rhodium plating is the bright white finish on white gold. It wears off over time and turns slightly yellow; re-plating restores the bright white look and adds protection. It's recommended for white gold, not for yellow gold or platinum.

How often should white gold be rhodium plated?

Roughly every one to two years for rings worn daily, less often for pieces worn occasionally. We can advise based on how the piece looks.

How much does polishing or rhodium plating cost?

It depends on the piece and the finish. We send a firm flat quote after we see it, and you approve it before any work begins.

Will polishing damage my jewelry?

Done by a professional, no. We polish appropriately for the metal and stones, protecting delicate settings and gemstones throughout.

Is my jewelry insured when I mail it?

Yes. You ship on a prepaid, fully insured FedEx label through IFS (In4Sure), tracked, with signature required, both ways.
