Our Cleaning & Polishing Services
From a complimentary quick clean to a full professional polish, we’ll have your jewelry looking like the day you bought it.
Ultrasonic Cleaning
Our complimentary ultrasonic cleaning removes dirt, oils, and everyday buildup from watches and jewelry. No purchase required — just bring your items in. Includes a quick condition assessment.
Professional Polishing
Deep scratch removal, buffing, and finishing to restore your jewelry to showroom condition. Rhodium plating available for white gold. Every polished piece is cleaned and inspected before return.
What Our Cleaning & Polishing Includes
We take great care and attention to detail with every piece. Our jewelers inspect, clean, and restore your jewelry using professional-grade tools and techniques.
Ultrasonic Cleaning
High-frequency sound waves loosen and remove dirt, oils, lotion buildup, and grime from hard-to-reach settings and chain links without damaging your piece.
Buffing & Polishing
Skilled hand polishing and machine buffing to remove surface scratches, scuffs, and dull spots. We restore the mirror finish on gold, silver, and platinum pieces.
Rhodium Plating
Restore the bright white finish on white gold rings, bracelets, and necklaces. Rhodium plating protects against tarnish and gives your jewelry that brand-new look.
Free Inspection
Every cleaning includes a complimentary inspection. We check prongs, settings, clasps, and overall condition so you know if any preventive maintenance is needed.
Tarnish Removal
Professional tarnish treatment for sterling silver and silver-plated jewelry. We remove oxidation and discoloration to restore the original luster.
Watch Cleaning
Exterior cleaning for watch cases, bracelets, and bands. We remove buildup from links, crowns, and bezels without affecting water resistance seals.
See Our Polishing Process & Results
From the buffing wheel to the finished piece — here’s a look at the care and craftsmanship behind every polish at Watch Technicians.
Bracelet Polishing on the Buffing Wheel
Each link is carefully polished by hand against the wheel to restore the original finish without removing excess metal.
Diamond Baguette Ring — After Cleaning & Polish
Channel-set baguettes and round diamonds restored to full brilliance with a polished white gold band.
Watch Case Detail Polishing
Precision rotary tools reach tight areas around lugs, crowns, and bezels that a buffing wheel can’t access.
Two-Tone Link Bracelet — After Polishing
Gold and silver tones restored with crisp edges and mirror-quality finish on every link.
Expert Care for Every Piece
Whether it’s a ring with many components or a simple band, our professional team will clean, buff, and polish surfaces to bring shine and beauty back to your piece. Everyday wear causes buildup from lotions, soaps, and natural oils, along with unwanted scratches to the surface of your jewelry.
We inspect each piece before assessing the best approach to bring the shine back. Different metals and gemstones require different techniques — our jewelers know exactly how to treat gold, silver, platinum, and delicate stones like opals and emeralds without causing damage. The result is jewelry that looks and feels like it did the day you first wore it.
