Jewelry polishing · LAFFARTS atelier

Professional jewelry polishing in our atelier.

Scratches, dull areas and normal wear can visibly reduce the appearance of jewelry. Six clearly defined atelier sets are available for direct booking for small, common pieces made from bare gold, silver or stainless steel. Individual pieces, oversized items, coated surfaces and special cases are assessed separately.

Important: The atelier sets include assessment, cleaning, refinishing and polishing only. Gold plating, recoating or any other coating is not included in the set price.

Atelier sets

Several jewelry pieces. One order. One clean process.

The sets bundle small, technically suitable standard pieces in one workshop run. This makes assessment, preparation, cleaning and final inspection more efficient. The set advantage applies only to manageable geometry and easily accessible surfaces – not to large or heavily undercut statement pieces.

Set limit

Small, common jewelry pieces only.

Set prices apply only to small, common standard pieces with easily accessible surfaces. The maximum dimensions are deliberately based on typical everyday sizes and are a hard upper limit – but they do not automatically guarantee that a piece qualifies for a set.

Not eligible as a set: large statement pieces, massive pendants or bangles, very wide or heavy links, strongly textured surfaces, deep recesses or undercuts, hard-to-reach gaps, complex settings or unusual geometries.

These pieces are always assessed individually from photos and quoted separately before work begins.

Important scope Polishing sets do not include gold plating or recoating.

The atelier sets are intended only for technically suitable, uncoated or bare jewelry made from gold, silver or stainless steel. Gold-plated, PVD-coated, lacquered, rhodium-plated or otherwise coated surfaces are not standard cases for these sets.

Polishing means controlled material removal. Depending on condition, an existing coating can be partially or completely reduced or removed. If a gold-colored surface is desired afterwards, replating is generally required. This is not included in the polishing price.

If an existing coating or additional work becomes apparent only during incoming inspection, we contact you before any further work and can provide a separate quote for replating or additional refinishing. No extra work is carried out without your approval.

No extra work without approval

If incoming inspection shows more work, we stop first.

Set prices apply only to small, technically suitable standard cases within the stated maximum dimensions and with easily accessible geometry. Deep recesses, undercuts, hard-to-reach gaps, large surfaces, massive components, deep damage, problematic coatings, delicate settings, severe corrosion or higher workload take the piece outside the set calculation.

You receive a separate quote first. Additional work is carried out only after your explicit approval. No unplanned extra work is performed without approval.

IncludedIncoming inspection

Material, surface and obvious risks are checked before work begins.

IncludedCleaning & preparation

Residues and contamination are prepared and removed in a way appropriate to the material.

IncludedPolishing / finish

The surface is refinished appropriately for the material while avoiding unnecessary material removal.

IncludedFinal inspection

Result, surface and scope are checked again before return shipping.

Important: Set prices apply only to technically suitable standard cases made from bare gold, silver or stainless steel with normal wear. Gold plating, PVD, lacquer, rhodium plating or other coatings are not included in these polishing sets. Watch refinishing/restoration, oversized items, elaborate polishing, complex geometries, deep damage, problematic coatings, delicate settings or unusual additional work are quoted individually. If replating or additional work is required or becomes apparent during incoming inspection, we stop before the extra work and send a separate quote. Additional work is carried out only after your explicit approval.
Suitability

Polishing is precision work – not simply “making it shiny”.

Material removal should remain as low as reasonably possible. Shape, edges, engravings, settings and existing surfaces must be respected.

Directly bookable

Uncoated or bare jewelry made from gold, silver or stainless steel with normal wear and technically accessible surfaces.

Not a standard set

Gold-plated, PVD-coated, lacquered, rhodium-plated or otherwise coated surfaces must be assessed first.

Coating after polishing

Polishing can partially or completely remove an existing coating. If a gold-colored surface is desired afterwards, replating is generally necessary.

Special cases

Watch refinishing, watch restoration, complex geometries, deep damage and unusual work are assessed and quoted separately.

The right route

Book an atelier set directly or request an individual assessment.

If your order fits one of the six atelier sets, stays within the stated maximum dimensions and uses a small, common standard geometry, you can book the set directly. If the material is unclear, a coating is present, the piece is oversized or the geometry is unusual, send photos first.

Defined atelier set

FAQ

Common questions about our polishing service.

Can I directly book a single piece of jewelry?

The atelier sets start at €119. Individual pieces, oversized items and different combinations are assessed by photo and quoted according to the actual work required.

Which atelier sets are available?

3 rings for €119, 2 bracelets for €129, chain + pendant for €129, ring + bracelet + pendant for €149, Collection 5 for €179 and Collection 8 for €249. All set prices apply to technically suitable standard cases within the stated maximum dimensions.

Are all scratches completely removed?

Not necessarily. Deep marks are treated only as far as material, shape, engravings and settings reasonably allow.

Is gold plating or another coating included in the polishing price?

No. The atelier sets include assessment, cleaning, refinishing, polishing and final inspection only. Gold plating, PVD coating, rhodium plating, lacquer or other recoating is not included in the set price.

Can already gold-plated or coated jewelry be booked as a set?

Not as a standard case. Polishing removes material and can partially or completely remove existing gold, PVD, rhodium, lacquer or other coatings. If a gold-colored surface is required afterwards, replating is generally necessary. We contact you and provide a separate quote before any additional work.

What are the maximum dimensions for the sets?

Hard upper limits are: rings up to 8 mm wide, bracelets up to 21 cm × 6 mm, chains up to 45 cm × 4 mm, pendants up to 25 mm and small earrings up to 20 mm. Even within these limits, statement designs, massive constructions or deep recesses can fall outside the set calculation.

Do the sets also apply to large statement pieces?

No. The sets are for small, common jewelry pieces with manageable geometry only. Large or massive pieces, strongly textured surfaces, deep recesses, undercuts, hard-to-reach gaps or unusual settings are always assessed separately.

What happens if my jewelry is larger or needs more work?

We do not simply continue and add charges. If a piece exceeds the maximum dimensions or additional work appears after arrival, you receive a separate quote before further work. Additional work requires your explicit approval.

How long does processing take?

Standard production is usually 12–14 business days from arrival. You select return shipping at checkout.
