At Rennie & Co, we advise our customers to bring their platinum wedding rings in for a polish every three to five years. By polishing the metal, scratches are removed from the band and a beautiful lustrous finish is restored. Our vastly experienced Hatton Garden jewellers take great care whilst refinishing your rings.
When you first selected your platinum wedding bands, you would have chosen between a highly polished mirror finish and a brushed finish. The first step taken by a Hatton Garden jeweller when polishing your jewellery will be to buff away any scratches or nicks which are present. Just as you would sand a wall before decorating, good preparation work on a platinum wedding ring before polishing makes all the difference. It is important that the Hatton Garden jeweller retains the profile of the wedding band. Once this preparation work has been completed, the rings are ready to be polished. Different compounds are applied directly to the mop culminating in a mirror like finish being achieved. After being polished, your platinum wedding bands must be ultrasonically cleaned to break down and remove any remaining residues. After being hand polished the jeweller will inspect the ring under 10x magnification. If the ring is to be highly polished, the work is complete or if it is to possess a brushed finish this will then be applied, once again by hand.
Whilst polishing your jewellery, a very thin layer of metal is removed and as such we don’t advise polishing your jewellery too often. Very often the worst of scratches can be avoided by removing your platinum wedding rings before exercise (anything that involves gripping), general DIY maintenance or any other task involving abrasive objects or surfaces. Many customers opt for a short but heavyweight silver chain to thread their ring onto and wear around the neck if they are in the gym.
