Your Stones Look Dull or Cloudy
If your diamonds or gemstones don’t sparkle like they used to, it could be a buildup of oils, lotions, or dirt. Over time, even daily wear can cause fine particles to cling to your stones and reduce their brilliance.
A professional cleaning can restore clarity and shine far beyond what home polishing can achieve.
Prongs Feel Sharp or Catch on Clothing
This is one of the most important red flags. If a prong is worn down, bent, or catching on fabrics, your stone could be at risk of falling out. Don’t wait — have it checked immediately to avoid losing a diamond or gemstone.
Your Ring Feels Loose (or Too Tight)
Rings can shift over time due to seasonal changes, weight fluctuation, or wear. A ring that spins or squeezes too tightly might need resizing for proper comfort and safety.
Chains or Clasps Feel Weak
If your necklace or bracelet chain has stretched, thinned, or if your clasp doesn’t feel secure, it’s best to bring it in. A broken clasp can mean a lost piece — especially during the busy holiday season.
You Notice Discoloration or Tarnishing
Gold shouldn’t turn green, and silver can tarnish and look black. If you’re noticing discoloration, your jewelry may need replating, polishing, or deep ultrasonic cleaning. Our experts can help restore the original luster and tone.
You Haven’t Had It Checked in Over a Year
Like a car or a watch, fine jewelry benefits from regular inspections. We recommend having your most-worn pieces looked at at least once a year — especially if they include valuable stones or heirloom materials.
It Just Doesn’t Look Right Anymore
Sometimes it’s not about damage, it’s just about wear. Loose links, uneven settings, and aged patinas are all things that can be refreshed or repaired professionally to make your piece feel new again.
