Wedding band care
Wedding band refinishing
Years of wear leave scratches, dull white gold, and brushed finishes worn smooth. We polish bands back to a mirror shine, replate white gold, and restore satin and hammered finishes at our bench.
Wedding band refinishing
What we restore
- High polish for gold and platinum
- Rhodium replating for white gold
- Brushed and satin finishes
- Hammered finishes
- Milgrain edges
- Scratches and dents
Good to know
When to refinish
- White gold looks yellow
- The rhodium plating wears off over time. Replating brings back the bright white
- Brushed finish looks shiny
- Daily wear polishes it smooth. We can put the texture back
- Deep scratches
- Polishing removes a little metal, so we check the band's thickness first
How it works
From drop-off to pickup
1
Look it over
We check the band's thickness and finish before we refinish anything.
2
Refinish
Scratches are polished out, white gold is replated, and brushed or hammered finishes are restored.
3
Check
We inspect the band and any stones before it goes home.
A master jeweler at our own bench
Mario has more than 32 years at the bench and works right here in the store. We're one of the few jewelers in Clearwater doing repairs on site, so most work is done right here.
How often does white gold need replating?
It depends on wear, often every year or two for a ring worn daily.
Does platinum need replating?
No. Platinum is naturally white. It just needs polishing if you prefer a mirror finish.
