across

i went to pick my repaired ring up yesterday from ernest jones and was told that they will clean jewellery for free anytime even if it was not originally bought there!!!!thats good to know because some shops like beaverbrooks use this as a selling technique they say you can have lifetime cleaning card when you buy engagement ring here!!!!!!!!!hope you all have nice shiny clean jewellery from now on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :j

they mostly in the town centres and you can pop in when you in town for other things so no special journey just for this.

The reason they can afford to be so generous is that most people leave stone rings for cleaning. To clean these rings they put them into an Ultrasonic cleaner. This shakes the ring until its clean. Any stones that are loose or held in with dirt will come out. If this happens they will charge you to reset the stone. Having a stone set in a major retailer will cost you about 3 times the amount you would pay an independent jobbing jeweller and goldsmith. Usually the same person will do the work they will just mark up the repairers price.

Yes this is supposed to be a freebie forum. Just soak them in viniger and save on petrol or bus fares. And an expensive repair when the stones fall out.
They didn't repair o/p's ring for free the price was included in the repair, Even if they told them it was free.

It is free read the OP.



I dont use them, i just leave mine in coke over night its seems to take all the rubbish off them.
