Do you know how to take care of your jewelry? For many people, their jewelry is among their most prized and sentimental of possessions. Yet, sometimes we really take our jewelry for granted. We assume those prongs will hold our diamonds and gemstones in place forever. It’s easy to ignore all the knocks and blows our rings take, because we don’t feel them! We don’t check the small rings that connect our necklaces or charms, until one day we notice we’ve lost something. And we ignore the loose catches on our bracelets, until we look down and the bracelet is gone. Before your pearls end up all over the floor, what should you do? Preventative maintenance is the key.
Stop in and let one of our professionally trained staff thoroughly check your favorite pieces. This “check-up” should be done every six months (just like the intensive “behind the furniture” house cleaning our grandmothers used to do!). This is a free service we’ve always offered, for the 55 plus years we’ve been in business! At the same time, we’ll gently clean your jewelry. We can do all of this while you wait, so you relax and enjoy wearing your favorite pieces. We’ll even give you a jar of jewelry cleaner, absolutely free, so your jewelry can continue to sparkle! Just ask!
And if you are ready for a change, we can advise you on options to remount and update your existing jewelry. We can help you decide what to do with jewelry you are not wearing…from converting an old ring mounting to a pair of earrings, to updating a pendant with a new look, to completely redesigning an existing piece into something completely fresh and different. Come to Continental Jewelers on Silverside Road in North Wilmington, and let us help you care for the jewelry you care for!
