Jewelry Maintenance

Jewelry Cleaning & Inspection

Protect Your Investment. Keep It Shining.

We recommend having your jewelry professionally cleaned and inspected twice a year. Regular maintenance helps prevent damage, loose stones, or costly repairs. At Claudia’s Jewelry Inc., we offer free inspections to ensure your pieces stay secure and in top condition.

Our expert goldsmiths also provide precision polishing — restoring your jewelry’s original brilliance. Even with careful wear, scratches and buildup are inevitable. When that happens, bring it in and let us bring back that eye-catching shine.

Jewelry Cleaning & Polishing

Where Skill Meets Shine

While it may seem simple, cleaning and polishing require expert precision. At Claudia’s Jewelry Inc., we use advanced ultrasonic and steam cleaning equipment, paired with modern polishing tools, to restore brilliance without compromising the integrity of your piece.

Regular inspections and maintenance help prevent costly damage, and our trained team ensures each item is handled with the utmost care and attention to detail.

Our master goldsmiths are skilled in refining gold, platinum, silver, and more — expertly removing surface imperfections using precision tools and abrasive compounds. Years of experience have shaped their ability to bring out the natural luster and elegance of fine metals.

Trust Claudia’s Jewelry Inc. to maintain your jewelry’s beauty — with expert care and flawless results.

Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaning

Deep Clean. Brilliant Results.

At Claudia’s Jewelry Inc., we use ultrasonic cleaning technology to safely and effectively remove dirt, oils, and buildup from your jewelry. High-frequency sound waves create microscopic bubbles that lift contaminants from hard-to-reach areas — restoring brilliance to both metal and gemstones.

This process reaches deep into settings and crevices, offering a level of clean that traditional methods simply can’t match.

Steam Cleaning

The Final Touch of Brilliance

After polishing, your jewelry is professionally steam cleaned using a high-pressure steam nozzle to remove any remaining residue or compounds. This final step restores maximum shine, bringing out the brilliance in every detail.

At Claudia’s Jewelry Inc., our steam cleaning process ensures your jewelry sparkles like new — safely and professionally.

Pavé & Micro-Pavé Settings

Delicate Detail. Brilliant Impact.

Pavé and micro-pavé settings use tiny metal beads or prongs to hold small diamonds closely together in a precise, uniform pattern. This creates a continuous, shimmering surface of diamonds with minimal visible metal.

Traditionally crafted by hand, this technique requires expert precision to achieve a seamless, high-end finish.

Ideal for adding elegant sparkle with a refined, luxurious look.

Bezel Setting

Secure. Sleek. Timeless.

A bezel setting surrounds the gemstone with a custom-shaped rim of metal, which is pressed over the edges to hold the stone securely in place.

Available in full (encircling the entire stone) or partial (holding opposite sides), bezel settings offer a modern, protective design ideal for daily wear — without compromising elegance.

 

A perfect blend of style and durability.

Channel Setting

Sleek. Secure. Sparkling.

Channel setting features diamonds set flush between two metal walls, creating a clean line of stones with no prongs. Each gem sits securely in a custom-cut seat, offering both brilliance and protection — perfect for active wear.

 

A refined, durable setting with continuous sparkle.

Prong Setting

Secure. Brilliant. Timeless.

Prong settings use metal claws to hold diamonds or gemstones securely in place, allowing maximum light to enhance sparkle. Ideal for center stones, this classic setting is most commonly seen in solitaire engagement rings.

 

A popular choice for showcasing brilliance with elegant simplicity.

Halo Setting

The term (halo) is used to describe a row/s of paved melees that outline the perimeter of a center stone. The halo setting secures the ring’s center stone underneath a rim adorned with pavé, invisible-set or channel-set
diamonds.
Popular with celebrities, the halo setting creates a spectacular diamond look that is feminine and delicate. Halo settings can be round or squared in center or on the sides of the ring.

Rhodium Finishing

Rhodium Plating for White Gold

Restore the Shine. Protect the Beauty.

If your white gold ring is starting to show a yellowish tint or looks dull, it’s likely time for rhodium plating. Over time, the original rhodium layer wears off, revealing the natural yellow hue of the gold beneath. This is normal — and completely fixable.

At Claudia’s Jewelry Inc., our expert jewelers professionally replate white gold jewelry with high-quality rhodium, restoring its bright, reflective finish while adding scratch resistance and long-lasting protection.

Why Rhodium?

  • Member of the platinum family

  • Adds brilliance and a mirror-like white finish

  • Enhances diamond clarity and sparkle

  • Resists tarnish and everyday wear

 

Keep your white gold looking like new — let us restore its original shine with precision rhodium plating.

Rhodium Plating FAQs

Does rhodium plating last forever?
No — longevity depends on wear. Necklaces and earrings may retain plating for years, while rings worn daily typically need replating every 1–2 years.

Why is rhodium used on white gold?
White gold is naturally an off-white, yellow-toned alloy. Rhodium plating gives it a bright, reflective white finish similar to platinum, enhancing its beauty and brilliance.

How often should I replate my jewelry?
We recommend every 1–2 years, depending on wear. When your piece starts to lose its shine or show yellow tones, bring it in for a professional evaluation.

 

From rings to chains, bracelets to watches — we restore shine with expert rhodium plating and guaranteed results. Let us bring your jewelry back to life.

Why White Gold Turns Yellow

White gold is made from pure yellow gold mixed with white alloys, but it naturally retains a slight yellow tint. To achieve its bright, platinum-like finish, it’s coated with rhodium — a brilliant, reflective metal.

Over time, this rhodium layer wears off, revealing the gold beneath. If your white gold jewelry is starting to yellow, we can restore its shine with professional rhodium plating — all at a fair price based on the size of the piece.

 

Bring back the brilliance of your white gold — affordably and professionally.

Pearl & Bead Restringing

Pearl Restringing

Preserve the Elegance. Restore the Strength.

Over time, the silk or nylon threads in pearl necklaces and bracelets can weaken, stretch, or break. At Claudia’s Jewelry Inc., we specialize in professional pearl restringing to restore both beauty and durability.

Whether your strand is broken, needs a new clasp, or simply looks worn, our experts can restring, re-knot, and inspect your pearls — giving new life to heirloom and cherished pieces.

Don’t let your pearls sit unworn — let us bring them back to their original elegance.

Ring Sizing & Adjustment

Perfect Fit. Every Time.

Is your ring too tight or too loose? At Claudia’s Jewelry Inc., we specialize in expert ring sizing for all metals — including yellow gold, white gold, platinum, sterling silver, and palladium.

Whether you need to size up, size down, or solder rings together, our jewelers will ensure a flawless fit. Most sizing adjustments are completed while you wait.

Let our team help you find the perfect fit — quickly, comfortably, and professionally.

Sizing Up vs. Sizing Down

Ring Sizing Up

Comfortable Fit. Seamless Finish.

When increasing a ring’s size, our expert jewelers ensure a perfect fit without compromising strength or appearance. While stretching is an option, we typically recommend adding matching metal to preserve the ring’s integrity.

Using precise techniques, we cut the shank, insert a piece of gold, platinum, or silver, then solder, polish, and refinish the ring — leaving no visible seams and restoring a flawless finish.

Your ring will look and feel as perfect as the day you bought it — just in your size.

Diamond Remounting & Invisible Setting

Custom Precision. Seamless Beauty.

Our master jeweler specializes in diamond remounting and advanced setting styles, including channel, bead, bezel, and the highly skilled invisible setting — all tailored to your vision.

Invisible Setting

Invisible-set diamonds are precisely grooved to fit into a hidden metal framework beneath the surface, creating the illusion of a continuous, prong-free surface of stones. The result is a sleek, modern look with maximum brilliance and no visible metal.

Elevate your jewelry with expert craftsmanship and flawless presentation at Claudia’s Jewelry Inc.

Ring Sizing Down

Precision Work. Seamless Results.

To make a ring smaller, our jewelers carefully remove a section of the shank, then solder, reshape, and polish the ring to ensure a perfect fit with no visible marks. The final size is confirmed on a mandrel and finished with a uniform shine.

For plain bands without stones, we may also use compression sizing — a method that reshapes the ring using a precision tool. This is ideal for adjusting 1–2 sizes down on simple bands.

 

Whether traditional or compression sizing, we deliver flawless results that look and feel just right.
