Best Places To Get Your Jewelry Cleaned Around Los Angeles

Giving your bling a professional cleaning and check-up is a good idea every now and then. It keeps your jewelry looking its absolute best and allows for the earliest possible identification of any damage or wear and tear on your favorite pieces. Many shops offer free cleaning, but you'll find they will charge you for repairs and re-polishing. Protect your jewelry from discoloration, tarnishing and from turning dull and dingy by visiting your local jewelry store. Make some time to shine.

Since 1965, Morgan & Company Jewellers in Westwood has been an invaluable source for lovers of antique and vintage jewelry. These experts say to visit your local jeweler every 6-12 months for a full jewelry check-up. Morgan and Company inspects your pieces first to check on settings, prongs and tips and for any damage like scratching on the gemstone or diamond. Here, jewelry goes into an ultrasound machine and is then steam cleaned at no charge. Depending on the piece, your gold rings, bracelets, or necklaces may need a repolish and clients often choose to refinish the metal or rodium plate so pieces look brand new. Repolishing is an actual repair that can be labor intensive with several processes, so cost varies.
