Before You Visit

What to Bring

A little preparation helps us assess your piece quickly — but if you're not sure, just bring it in and we'll take it from there.

  • The piece, even if heavily tarnished or long unworn
  • Any loose stones or parts, kept together with the item
  • Details of any repairs or resizing carried out elsewhere
  • Old photographs of the piece, if you'd like it restored to match

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I get my jewellery professionally cleaned?

We'd suggest an ultrasonic clean once or twice a year for pieces worn daily, or sooner if a ring or bracelet has lost its shine or a stone feels loose.

Can you restore an old or antique piece?

Yes, restoring antique and heirloom jewellery is one of our specialities at our Brighton workshop — from re-polishing to rhodium plating and stone tightening.

Is a stone-tightening check included with cleaning?

Every clean includes a check of your stone settings, so we can flag anything that needs attention before it becomes a bigger repair.

Will cleaning remove scratches from my ring?

Ultrasonic cleaning lifts dirt and restores shine, but for scratches or dents we'd recommend a polish or light restoration alongside the clean — we'll advise when you bring it in.

What is rhodium plating and does my ring need it?

Rhodium plating adds a bright, hard-wearing finish to white gold, and naturally wears thin over a few years. We'll tell you honestly if your ring would benefit from it.
