Proudly rooted in Pittsburgh, Henne Jewelers believes in caring for your jewelry long after you say "yes."

Here are some expert tips to help you do that.
Caring for and Servicing Your Ring at Henne Jewelers in Pittsburgh
Professional Cleaning & Inspections
Keeping your ring clean and secure is essential to maintaining its brilliance and wearability. We offer complimentary in-store cleanings here at Henne Jewelers. Bring your ring in anytime and we’ll clean it while you wait.
At home, you can use warm soapy water and a soft-bristle toothbrush to gently clean your ring. However, nothing beats the deep clean and polish from a professional jeweler, especially for hard-to-reach areas and intricate designs.
We recommend bringing your ring in for a professional inspection every six months. These routine visits can help prevent larger, costlier repairs in the future and will keep your ring in excellent condition for years to come. During these inspections, our jewelers will:
- Check for loose or chipped stones
- Examine prongs for bending or wear
- Identify any early signs of structural issues
White Gold Re-Plating Services
If you own a white gold engagement ring, it’s important to know that its bright, silvery color comes from a layer of rhodium plating. Over time, this plating naturally wears down and needs to be refreshed.
If you purchased your white gold ring from Henne Jewelers, your first rhodium re-plating is complimentary. This service helps restore the original shine and protect the ring from everyday wear.
Ring Resizing and Repairs
Life happens — and so do sizing changes. Whether your ring spins on your finger or you’re having trouble getting it over your knuckles, our Service Coordinator will walk you through your resizing options. We’ll provide an estimate and timeline and handle your piece with the utmost care. Depending on your situation, we may recommend adding a sizing bead, a butterfly guard, or even a hinged ring design that opens and closes for a more comfortable fit.
If your ring is damaged or needs structural repair, you’re in good hands. Learn more about our jewelry repair services here.
