Hmm I never heard that before. Likely to be nice, if you’re at a really sketchy place, then I would not go with them my stuff. =)

    My guess is that it makes it more shiny and appealing, thereby catching the eye of other people and make them want to buy jewelry. That way, they sell more.

    Same as car dealers who wash your car when you bring it in for service – clean cars look more appealing.

    Because it’s part of their job. As long as you are at a reputable jewlery store you have nothing to worry about. One thing I did hear about though is nail salons offering to clean your rings- NEVER let them do that! But jewelry stores are fine, it’s just like a small clothing boutique offering to hold your large bags behind the counter so you don’t have to hold them it’s not like they are going to steal whats in your bags.

    I am a jeweler by profession and the reason we (I) like to do that is for the following reasons:
    The customer has more time to spend in your store and while it is being cleaned they will not leave and will look at more merchandise.
    It’s customer service to do that to compliment thier new purchase.
    Most times Customers ask us if we have a cleaner and we could clean it up for them.

    If there is anything related to jewelery I can help you with please drop me a line at kunalsc@yahoo.com

    maybe because its dirty and jewellers are in a habbit of seeing clean and glittering jewellery……

    because the solutions they use removes tiny amounts of gold and silver. They give it back to you and you think it looks fine. At the end of the day, they strain this solution and recover the fine metal particles out of it then they make more jewelry to sell you.

    i think its 2 see if they r worth anything and then if they r maybe try and buy them off u 4 a cheap price saying that they arnt worth that much and then sell it so they get lots of money for it …

    i get my real diamond and precious stone jewlery cleaned all the time, along with my mom. they can do it right in front of you or they can keep it and you can pick it up later. believe me, the places like al jen jewlers, zales, robins bro’s, nordstrom..etc. are not out to take your jewels or jewlery. doing a freindly free cleaning of it helps bring in business. after all, they are just trying to make money.

    They’re just doing it out of customer service but if you’re super paranoid you can have then whip out their handy diamond tester to test the diamonds before and after cleaning so you don’t feel susipious.

    They do it for good customer service, and while they are cleaning your stuff, they can show you the “new” stuff that has come in. Also there is a better chance you won’t be running off with their merchandise.

    It does bother me though, people go into a jewelry store and ask them to clean something they bought three years ago, you defiantly can’t get a car dealer to do that free.

    It’s about doing more business. You shop while waiting, they may find damge to your jewelry needing repair (like loose settings, etc..), and they sell jewelry cleaner as well.
    Some time in the future, you will be in the market to buy some more jewelry and since they were kind enough to clean your stuff for free, they hope you will think of them at that time.
