Cleaning And Inspection
Regular maintenance is important for the long-term care of your fine jewelry. Chipper’s Jewelry offers free jewelry cleaning and inspection to ensure that your jewelry stays in excellent condition. Frequent cleaning prevents the accumulation of dust, dirt, oils and lotions that cause unnecessary wear and scratches. Thorough inspections can identify both damage and regular wear to avoid costly repairs and the loss of precious stones. We recommend having your jewelry cleaned and inspected every three to six months, and before travel or important occasions.

Tip, Prong, Bezel,
& Channel Repair
Gemstones are held in place by prongs, bezels, and/or channels. Worn tips and broken prongs are the most common cause of loose or missing stones. And while structurally more substantial, bezels and channels eventually wear down as well. The master jewelers at Chipper’s Jewelry will retip or rebuild prongs when needed, or replace entire settings when appropriate. Rebuilding bezels and channels can restore structural integrity and beauty to severely worn settings. Contact us for shipping instructions or bring your jewelry in for free estimates.
Jewelry Engraving
Custom engraving jewelry makes it uniquely yours. Engraving adds a personal touch and sentimental value. Engraving can customize rings, pendants, charms, watches, and a vast array of specialty items. Whether you need laser, machine, or hand engraving, contact us for shipping instructions or bring your items to our store for free estimates.
Rhodium Plating
Rhodium plating is the reason white gold and some silver jewelry is so bright and shiny. Scratches, dents, even rubbing against fabric can wear the layer of Rhodium plating off over time. Chipper’s Jewelry offers Rhodium plating services to restore your jewelry’s original finish, or to place Rhodium’s hypoallergenic protection between you and nickel alloy allergies.
Pearl And Bead Restringing
Chipper’s Jewelry provides expert pearl and bead stringing services. Broken, stretched, or worn string can be replaced to restore your jewelry to its original condition. Dirt, oils, and lotions can cause string to deteriorate over time. Restringing can prevent costly repairs or the loss of valuable jewelry.
