What is the resizing service?

A service for bracelets, necklaces or rings that, if possible, alters the size of these jewels. It involves very delicate and complex operations.

This service is completed by Limei Jewelry Craftsmen and includes the following steps:

• Check and analyze the works;
• Adjust the size:
• To alter a ring, a jeweler uses an extremely thin saw blade to cut the ring open, add or subtract material, and then uses pliers to bring the two ends together.
• For chain-link jewelry, you only need to add or remove links.
• Polishing treatment, use a brush head with three different polishing pastes to achieve a smooth mirror effect;
• Cleaning treatment, in a warm water bath with detergent, use ultrasonic cleaning to clean the jewelry, especially the hard-to-reach corners and crevices. All jewelry is suitable for ultrasonic cleaning except emeralds, pearls, or other similar fragile gemstones.
• Rhodium plating: In order to enhance the white texture of white gold, a thin layer of rhodium metal is sometimes plated on its surface. Rhodium is a rare and precious metal and is a metal of the same family as platinum.

The rhodium plating process includes the following steps:

• Before polishing, remove the original rhodium metal layer to expose the original metal surface in preparation for re-plating;
• After polishing, the white gold jewelry is placed in a rhodium metal plating bath for even plating.
• Conduct functional and appearance tests that meet Limei quality standards.

注意：在抛光过程中，会去除一层薄薄的金属层。正因如此，我们建议白K金或黄K金珠宝抛光总次数不超过两次。此外，抛光处理也不能完全去除较深划痕。技术上不可能把白K金表面抛光处理成黑色表面。
