Here at Guy Wakeling Jewellery we understand the need to keep your precious items in tip top condition and at times, refresh your precious jewellery. We also realise that not everybody has access to an onsite jeweller who can offer their expertise to do this for you in their own, in-house jewellery workshop. That is why we are proud to offer you our, plating and polish postal services.
This service makes our very popular Rhodium, Gold Plating and Platinum Polish Services accessible to all. It offers customers the option to post their items into us for either of our plating or our Platinum polish services. This is a same day service (exceptions may occur) surrounding each parcel you send into us, from the moment we receive it, to the moment it is delivered back to you at home, exciting stuff!
From start to finish in 5 easy steps, here is what you need to do.
Package your beautiful jewellery into a secure package (padded jiffy bag or box) and take it to your local Post Office. Please be sure to include a note within the package of your name and full address so that we know where we are sending it back to. Please include a telephone number also, so that we can contact you when your item is ready.
Send it to our showroom address using Royal Mail Special Delivery, this cost is from £9.85 The main reason we use this is for insurance purposes, which covers the item(s) within the package up to the value of £2,500. If you have any items that are valued more than the £2,500 please call us to arrange alternative postage.
Once the package arrives in our showroom, we work our magic! Which ever service you require whether its our Rhodium or Gold Plating your items are given a thorough clean. Then reshaped if needed, stone check and then either Rhodium or Gold Plated and a polish for added sparkle. Plus this is all completed within our unique, 1 hour service. Please see below for the details of our Platinum Polish Service details.
We will then call you on the number you sent to us to let you know your item(s) are ready and take payment over the phone. Once the transaction is complete, we will send your items back to you via Royal Mail Special Delivery.
All you need to do is sit at home with a brew and a biscuit and wait for Mr Post Man to deliver your freshly cleaned, plated and sparkling jewellery back to you.
£50 per ring for our Rhodium Plating and high shine, mirror finish.
£40 per ring for our Gold Plating and high polish finish.
£60 per ring for our Platinum polish and mirror finish.
Our Platinum Polish service works much in the same way, though platinum essentially doesn’t lose its colour, the metal itself can become dull and faded with scratches and general wear and tear over time, this is why we suggest a Platinum Polish with a mirror finish. This service firstly gives your items a good cleaning, then buffs out any nasty scratches and will give your items a high shine mirror shine. Sound good? Of course, it does.
The item of Jewellery you want plating may not be a ring, you may have a beautiful set of Diamond stud earrings or an antique chain, we include all items within our service. Understandably it is easier to quote a standard price for a ring, given their shape and size, however if you do have a separate piece you want plating that isn’t a ring, please feel free to send over a photograph of your item to us so we can take a look at it for you. We may be able to give you a quote that way. Alternatively please click here to contact us.
One of the reasons that we are singled out for this service in particular isn’t just the exceptional high quality of work that we do, it’s also the fact that none of the pieces that come into us ever leaves our showroom. We pride ourselves on the fact that everything to do with this service is done in-house, so there’s no messing around and as a customer you can be safe in the knowledge that your precious items are safe with us.
