Jewelry Refinishing

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.

It's still incredible to me that I googled "image engagement ring engraving solitaire" and found an image of a ring I really liked online, then followed the post to the Joseph Jewelry website and fell in love with another one of their customized designs. But, I had misgivings about buying a ring online without ever trying it on. When I hit the "location" button, I couldn't believe my eyes--they are based in Bellevue! I was headed to visit family in the Seattle area about a week later. Once at the store we were helped by Andrea who was patient, knowledgeable and helpful, but since my favorite design was customized, they didn't have it in stock. Their willingness to make up a wax model before we left town 24 hours later made all the difference. The rest of the online process of changes, special requests, approvals and shipping went very smoothly. After college, I worked in the jewelry business and it was so great to see how the folks at Joseph Jewelry were professional with a focus on great design and good customer service. I recommend them highly!
