Jewelry Tips

Clean your jewelry often using jewelry cleaner, non abrasive soaps, or ammonia and water mixture.

Jewelry repair can be minimized by periodic inspection and evaluations. Take you Treasured Jewels to a professional Jeweler once a year to make sure its in good shape.

Always check to see if your jewelry is becoming worn or dull. Invest in a magnifying glass or jewelers loop so that you can identify problem areas.

The number one cause of lost gemstones is worn or broken prongs or tips. Check for rattling or movement among gemstones. Inspect in all areas around stones to see if settings are tight and secure. Use a pair of tweezers or a toothpick and gently nudge stones to see if any wiggle or move.

Some jewelers work on jewelry work in the store. Many jewelers also send out their repairs to other "trade shops" for repairing. This is a common practice among large jewelry firms, but any jeweler worth his/her salt should be doing their work onsite. Take your items to an "onsite" jeweler.

Make sure when repair prices are quoted that they are coming from a price book rather than someones head. When a retail establishment takes the time to put his/her prices down on paper they have thoroughly researched their investment of time and materials to complete the job correctly.

Its helpful if the jeweler can show you pictures of what or how the item will be repaired. If your item needs a part,
then a picture will best describe how it will look once attached to your piece. It was said best that a picture is worth a thousand words.

If your item is important to watch while you wait, see if you can set up an appointment to have it done. Some jewelers will accommodate you if you are willing to set up a day and time to work on the item while you wait for it.

Sometimes a repair can be different from what you want done and want can be done. A good jeweler will either tell you up front that there might be some conditions that you will have to live with if it is repaired. Repairing costume or silver jewelry will have some inherent problems and they must be addressed if you want it repaired. Just out to market is a new laser technology that allows any and all jewelry to be repaired without compromising the metal.

When you pick up your repair, there are some areas that you should look over before accepting the item. First, make sure it is the right item. Second, make sure that the repair was done or done where indicated. Third, make sure that the item is presented to you completely polished and cleaned, not just around the area of repair.
