Care And Repair At Deutsch Fine Jewelry

By: Deutsch Fine Jewelry

Let’s talk jewelry upkeep. It’s important to stay on top of regular cleaning and maintenance of luxury jewelry. There are plenty of ways to keep up that gorgeous shine at home, as we cover in our article on how to polish and preserve jewelry from home, and depending on the metals and gemstones, some luxury jewelry pieces might need more care than others. A consistent cleaning and polishing routine will keep the gemstones shining, but we recommend carving out time to schedule a professional cleaning appointment on a regular basis. How often a piece gets professionally cleaned depends on how often it is worn and the material makeup of the jewelry piece. If it’s a wedding ring or a favorite necklace that gets daily use, it might be a good idea to bring it in every few months for a professional cleaning. On the other hand, if it is something that rarely sees the light of day, it can be brought in about once a year for upkeep. Deutsch Fine Jewelry provides complimentary watch and jewelry cleaning services to all of our clients because we want our clients’ jewelry to shine as brightly as possible.

Jewelry Spa Day: Cleaning and Polishing Services

Cleaning and polishing achieve two different goals, but both are important to the sparkle and shine of the jewelry. At Deutsch, we’re happy to clean and polish all watches and jewelry, whether they are from Deutsch or an heirloom from the family vault. After the Hulchi Belluni Double Bead Stretch Bracelet goes through a few too many late-night events, we provide a cleaning service that focuses on the buildup around the setting prongs between the rows of diamonds and a polishing process that will make the delicate gold beads shine. Professional cleaning and polishing go hand-in-hand, and both require the expertise found at Deutsch Fine Jewelry.

The Clean

When a piece of luxury jewelry is worn on a regular basis or if it is particularly prone to grease or dirt buildup, regular cleaning is paramount to getting the most out of a beautifully designed luxury jewelry piece. A pair of long earrings like the Vine Drop Earrings with Diamonds by Kwait is exposed to all manner of contaminants like hairspray and makeup. Diamonds are notorious for attracting grease, so a professional cleaner at Deutsch Fine Jewelry would hone in on the setting around the diamonds, where buildup is most likely to present itself. Freed from any grease or dust, these earrings can be back to shining brightly after one trip to the experts at Deutsch Fine Jewelry.

The Polish

Polishing luxury jewelry may seem akin to cleaning, but they are two distinct measures that we take to ensure the greatest shine for a jewelry piece. While cleaning removes dirt, dust, or grease from a luxury jewelry piece, polishing luxury jewelry brings out the overall shine. We recommend professionally cleaning jewelry every few months to a year, depending how often the jewelry is worn. When we polish gold jewelry, the polishing wheel takes a very slight top layer off the surface of the gold, leaving the piece shining a polished. Because of this top layer removal, we recommend that gold be limited to no less than two professional polishings a year. Wedding rings and engagement rings are in consistent need of cleaning and yearly polishing, and the Asscher Cut 3-Stone Rings Semi Mount by Deutsch Signature is no exception. Upkeep for a beauty like this would look like a full cleaning with careful dedication to the center mounts that tend to build up grease, as well as a full band and gemstone professional polish to make the entire ring shine like the first day it was opened. Deutsch Fine Jewelry is here for all cleaning and polishing needs, completely complimentary to our neighbors – whether it’s a jewelry piece that has been passed down from generations or a watch that we sold last month, our experts can’t wait to make your collection shine.
