Jewelry Refinishing

We can complete all types of jewelry refinishing projects and return your items to you looking like new.
No matter what type of repairs or services you need, our artisans have the right mix of skills and experience to get the job done right. We also make sure we always have the best available tools and equipment on hand, so nothing can get in the way of them providing the best possible care for your most precious items.
Process Overview
The jewelry refinishing process can involve a wide variety of tasks depending on the type of item being worked on and the state that it's in. However, we always take care to follow the same general outline for each piece.
- The first step we take when refinishing any piece of jewelry is to check all of the gemstones and tighten any that need it.
- If there's engraving present, we'll clean and restore it so it looks like new.
- The last step we take is to re-polish the piece to get it back to its original appearance.
Gemstone Considerations
In addition to tightening gemstone settings, we'll also take care to protect any delicate gemstones present in your jewelry while we're working on it. Items like opals, pearls, and emeralds, just to name a few, can easily be damaged if not properly cared for, and we'll make sure that nothing we do impacts them in any way. We'll also take the necessary steps to ensure they're properly protected so they're not vulnerable to damage through the course of normal use.
Preserving Original Details
Our skilled artisans have a great deal of experience working with a wide range of fine jewelry, and that means they can restore just about any type of original detail present. This includes preserving any antiquing the piece had to begin with, recreating the original patina, and even rebuilding settings or other custom metalwork that may have been damaged over time.
No matter what your jewelry needs or how long it's been since it was professionally serviced, our team knows how to get it back to its original glory. We take great pride in offering a wide range of jewelry repair services designed to allow you to keep all of your pieces looking their best no matter how often you wear them or how long they've been with you.

Absolutely first-class experience, start to finish! Recently my wife and I were looking for a ring. While shopping had narrowed it down to one at another store that she felt was the best choice however, she wanted to think it over for a few days. We happened to be in Bellevue having lunch on Main St and noticed Joseph Jewelry. We checked it out on Yelp and the first thing I noticed after the 5 stars was how many of the reviews were long and detailed. To me this exhibits an exceptional experience with that company so we decided to go visit them. From the minute we walked in the door we felt like we were in the right place. The people inside were friendly and helpful plus the jewelry was unlike any other we had seen. We'd never had a custom piece made before and thought it would be somewhat difficult as we are not jewelry designers. A gentleman named Danny approached us and offered us his assistance. He spent a considerable amount of time with us and never once did we feel any sales pressure. It was obvious he simply wanted to help us find that perfect ring to celebrate 32 years together. After my wife found something she liked as an idea, it was really not difficult at all to work out the final design she wanted. Danny was very helpful, was happy to incorporate one of our diamonds into the ring and found the perfect other diamonds to compliment and finished the ring. It was amazing to walk into the back work area and see all the people actually designing the jewelry on 3D computer systems from which they make the molds. They actually make the entire jewelry from an idea to a finished product right in the back. The craftsmanship and quality is incredible. Once we purchased the ring, they kept in regular contact with us through the design process where my wife was able to make some changes, then go in and approve the wax mold. It was fun and made for a great experience. Her ring turned out absolutely beautiful and she loves it! It wasn't until after we had made our purchase that we found out Danny was part of the family business. Honestly, his attitude and cheerfulness the entire time made us feel like we were in the right store and ultimately led to us buying her ring there. Oops, another long review, I understand why now. Our highest recommendation for Joseph Jewelry!
