Surface modification: Give your jewelry new life
Resurfacing is a great way to update your jewelry without having to buy new. Jewelry is made to last, but over time, gold, silver, and other precious metals can lose their shine, get scratched, or change color. Not to mention just getting a little bored with the same piece of jewelry.
Fortunately, there are several ways to give your jewelry a new look through surface modification! At Arven in Bergen, we offer professional services that renew your jewelry and give it a completely new look.
What is surface alteration?
Refinishing is the process of changing the appearance of a piece of jewelry using various techniques. This can be done to freshen up an old piece of jewelry, repair or cover wear, or add a personal touch to an heirloom piece to make it more your style. Some of the most common methods include:
-
Polishing – Removes scratches and gives the jewelry a smooth and shiny finish.
-
Matte or brushed surface – Gives the jewelry a more subdued and sophisticated look.
-
Gilding – Applying a thin layer of gold to silver or gold jewelry to create a new shade of color.
-
Rhodium plating – Gives white gold a clearer and shinier surface.
-
Oxidation – Gives silver jewelry a darker, antique finish for a rougher style.
Why choose surface modification?
Surface refinishing is perfect for renewing your jewelry, without having to buy new. Good for your wallet, and good for the world.
