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.

My fiancé and I (both women) wanted to get coordinating, but not matching, engagement rings, and we chose to work with Joseph Jewelry based on their stellar reviews and reputation for custom rings. We could not have been happier with our decision! From our first conversation with Erich in the Bellevue store, everyone we worked with was enthusiastic, respectful of our budget, responsive, and patient throughout the design process. After sketching up some initial designs for us based on what we liked in the store and online, we kicked off simultaneous design processes for both our rings. From our initial meeting to having the rings in hand was rough 4-5 months, which was perfect for us and mostly based on our laidback response timeline during the design process (e.g. occasionally we'd take nearly week to respond to questions or updates mockups), so I think it could have been faster if we'd wanted. The design team was very patient with our repeated minor tweaks, and they were great at refining the design (eg at one point I thought the prongs looked "too antler-y" and they understood what I meant and changed the design perfectly). I appreciated the team's excitement about designing both rings together, and as someone who struggles to be decisive, I enjoyed the process much more than I expected. Overall, I would highly recommend the Joseph Jewelry team!
