Jewellery Cleaning & Polishing Bendigo
Has your jewellery lost its sparkle?
At Stone Theory Studio, we provide professional jewellery cleaning and polishing services from our Eaglehawk workshop, helping restore the shine, brilliance and appearance of your favourite pieces.
This service is ideal for jewellery that is structurally sound and does not require repairs, but simply needs professional attention to bring it back to life.
All work is completed on-site. We never send your jewellery away, ensuring your piece remains in our care throughout the entire process.
Professional Jewellery Cleaning & Polishing
Over time, jewellery naturally accumulates dirt, soap residue, hand creams, cosmetics and everyday grime.
Even high-quality jewellery can begin to look dull, lifeless or discoloured.
Our professional cleaning and polishing service can help restore:
- Diamond rings
- Engagement rings
- Wedding rings
- White gold jewellery
- Yellow gold jewellery
- Silver jewellery
- Platinum jewellery
- Gemstone jewellery
- Earrings, pendants and bracelets
The result is jewellery that looks cleaner, brighter and closer to its original appearance.
More Than Just An Ultrasonic Cleaner
One of the biggest misconceptions in the jewellery industry is that cleaning jewellery simply involves placing it into an ultrasonic cleaner.
In reality, professional jewellery cleaning begins with a careful assessment of the piece.
Before any cleaning takes place, we inspect your jewellery to ensure it can be safely cleaned without risking damage or stone loss.
This is one of the reasons it is important to have jewellery cleaned by a qualified jeweller.
Jewellery stores without jewellers on-site often offer "free cleaning" as a way to bring customers into the store. In many cases, this simply involves placing the jewellery into an ultrasonic cleaner.
While ultrasonic cleaning can be highly effective when used appropriately, it is not suitable for every piece of jewellery. We have an extensive jewellery repair workshop with a variety of cleaning and polishing methods to choose from, depending on what is right for your pieces.
Can Ultrasonic Cleaning Damage Jewellery?
If a setting is worn or a stone is already loose, ultrasonic vibrations can sometimes dislodge stones from their settings.
The ultrasonic didn't cause the problem-it simply revealed a problem that already existed.
This is why we inspect jewellery before cleaning and will advise you if repairs are recommended before proceeding.
A lost stone is far more expensive than a preventative repair.
Not All Gemstones Can Be Ultrasonically Cleaned
Certain gemstones and jewellery materials should never be placed into an ultrasonic cleaner.
Examples include:
- Natural emeralds
- Tanzanite
- Opals
- Pearls
- Coral
- Amber
- Other organic gemstones
- Some treated gemstones
These materials can be damaged by ultrasonic vibration, heat or cleaning chemicals.
As qualified jewellers, we assess each piece individually and select the most appropriate cleaning method for the materials involved.
How Long Does Jewellery Cleaning Take?
Most jewellery cleaning and polishing jobs are completed within one to two business days, depending on workshop workload.
If we identify loose stones, worn claws, damaged settings or other repairs that should be completed before cleaning, additional time may be required.
We will always discuss any concerns with you before proceeding.
Do Repairs Include Cleaning?
Yes.
All jewellery repairs completed by Stone Theory Studio include a professional clean and polish before the piece is returned to you.
