Professional Jewelry Cleaning

While cleaning your jewelry yourself is certainly an option, having your pieces cleaned by our team will make a world of a difference. Here are some things to keep in mind:

Equipment, Expertise, and Experience:
Professional Jewelers have the specialized equipment and expertise necessary to give a deep clean of your jewelry to bring out its original shine. Our team at Kim Quang Jewelry makes use of specialized equipment meant to make your piece look its best. In this aspect, a simple do-it-yourself job at home is great for jewelry maintenance, however, you will need to use professional grade tools and expert knowledge to accomplish a restorative deep cleaning

Risk
If you use proper home jewelry cleaning solutions, or very mild detergents (ex. hot water and a little dishwashing soap), the risk of damage to any of your jewelry is generally pretty low. However, certain types of colored stones and precious metals are more sensitive to chemicals and heat, and should be handled properly. If you are ever in doubt, having a professional cleaning done is the way to go.

At Kim Quang, we have over 40 years of experience cleaning all types of jewelry, with all different kinds of gemstones and precious metals. With every piece that’s brought in, we know the precise steps to take to ensure its maintenance and care.

Inspection
With every jewelry cleaning project we undertake, we always perform a preliminary inspection of the piece to examine it for any damages or wear. Whether it’s a loose prong on your diamond ring, or a faulty clasp on your gold chain, we will find it and let you know. Proper inspection of your jewelry is crucial in extending its life and keeping it in top condition.

Our jewelry cleaning process involves a few different steps, depending on the piece that’s being cleaned.

Generally speaking, every jewelry cleaning project begins with an initial inspection of the piece. Our team will examine your jewelry for any faults or damages. This part of the process is crucial in maintaining the integrity of your jewelry and is often overlooked or done incorrectly by those who try to clean and maintain their jewelry themselves.

Once the piece has been thoroughly inspected, we then begin the cleaning process. Cleaning a piece of jewelry often makes use of a couple of different technologies, namely, an ultrasonic cleaner with specialized chemicals, a polishing machine, and a steam cleaning machine. The whole objective here is to use these technologies to remove all foreign dirt, debris, oils, and bacteria from your jewelry, and to polish it so that it shines as it was meant to.

Of course, every piece is different, and as such the process, techniques, and machinery used might differ depending on the situation. In any case, the team at Kim Quang will ensure that your jewelry will receive the best maintenance and care according to its type.
