When and Why You Should Have Your Jewellery Professionally Inspected

Your jewellery is more than just an accessory, it’s a treasured investment and often carries sentimental value. To keep it looking its best and ensure it lasts for generations, professional inspections are key. But how do you know when it’s time to book one? Here’s a guide.

1. Loose Stones: Even the most secure settings can loosen over time. A loose diamond, sapphire, or other precious stone is at risk of falling out, which could mean losing a piece of your collection forever. Regular inspections can detect and fix loose stones before disaster strikes.

2. Scratched or Damaged Stones: Daily wear can cause scratches or chips, especially on softer gemstones like emeralds or pearls. While some scratches are minor, professional polishing and care can restore your stones’ brilliance and prevent further damage.

3. Claw or Prong Issues: Claws and prongs are what hold your stones in place. Over time, they can bend, snag on clothing, or wear down. A jeweller can repair or reinforce them to keep your stones secure.

4. Rings That Are Tight or Uncomfortable: Changes in finger size, due to weight fluctuations, arthritis or age, can make rings fit too tightly. A professional can safely resize your ring, ensuring comfort without compromising the integrity of the piece.

5. Thin Bands or Worn Settings: Rings with thin bands are more prone to bending or breaking. Regular inspections help identify weak spots so they can be strengthened before damage occurs.

6. Routine Maintenance for Peace of Mind: Even if your jewellery looks perfect, an annual inspection is a smart preventative measure. It helps maintain its beauty, safety, and value over time.
