Care and Repair: Replating
To understand the "Replating" process and how your jewelry can regain its full beauty:
1/ Please send me photos of your CULOYON jewelry.
This will allow me to verify if replating is feasible. If the rings are not significantly damaged, they can regain almost their original brilliance!2/ Once I receive your jewelry, I will begin by removing the old coating through several meticulous steps, involving sanding and polishing to make the surface clean and shiny. This step is crucial for restoring the original brilliance of your piece and requires high precision and skilled craftsmanship. Due to the specific expertise required, it would be difficult to find another atelier or store capable of performing this work—and even rarer for them to accept it.
3/ Next, your jewelry will be entrusted to a specialized atelier, where skilled artisans will apply a new layer of 22-carat gold plating with a thickness of 3 microns or pure silver plating with a thickness of 10 microns.
4/ After your jewelry is returned to my atelier, I will dedicate myself to the final touches with care and prepare your piece for shipment with attention. As soon as everything is ready, I will happily contact you to inform you about the shipment.
The price includes the labor time, the cost of gold/silver plating, and the round-trip shipping fees to the specialized atelier.
This service is exclusively reserved for CULOYON jewelry, as I am unfamiliar with the materials used by other brands and cannot guarantee the results. Thank you for your understanding.
The estimated timeline for this service is about 6 to 8 weeks after placing your order. As everything is entirely handcrafted, I kindly ask for your patience with this timeline.
If you agree to these conditions, I would be delighted to give new life to your jewelry. Thank you so much!
