Jewelry Cleanings

     Here's a problem many people have with jewelry.  Most people know that every six to twelve months, your car needs to be inspected and any issues fixed.  In the same six to twelve month time frame, most people get checked up at the doctors office, and have their teeth inspected by their dentist, as well as several other things.  What many people don't know, is that your jewelry needs to be "checked up" every six months at least.  Depending on the piece of jewelry and the frequency of wear, six months is usually a minimum. 

      When jewelry is worn, it gets rubbed, bumped, jammed, dragged and smashed into things.  This wears down the metal, breaks prongs, chips gems and overall degrades the quality of the jewelry.  Not to mention how dirty it gets.  Prongs can get bent away from gems, losing them and increasing the chance they can fall out of their setting.
      Any time you bring your jewelry into Kaplans to be cleaned, we check all the prongs, clean all the dirt out and make sure everything is in top shape.  We'll also let you know if anything is starting to look like it's going to need some maintenance in the future. This can drastically increase the life of your jewelry, as well as cut down on the maintenance costs involved with fully repairing them.  We never charge to clean and check your jewelry, no matter where you bought it or how long you've had it.

Introduction to our blog

    Hello everyone, and welcome to Kaplans Fine Jewelry's official blog.  The intent of this blog is simply to share information and keep you informed about things that are important to your jewelry.  We here at Kaplans believe first and foremost in keeping our customers happy and satisfied.

    We have been located in West Chester for over twenty seven years.  The business was originally started by Ethel Kaplan, and then passed down to Ivan and Lisa Kaplan years ago.  We have been in three different locations, one on Gay Street, one right around the corner from our current location on Church Street, and our current location on West Market Street.  Our number one principle at Kaplans is to provide the best service possible to our customers, and to ensure you leave our store with a smile on your face.  It's how we've stayed in business so long. 
   
    Here at Kaplans, we love to have our customers input.  One of this blogs secondary intentions is to share as a communication bridge between our staff and our customers.  Each topic posted in this blog will come directly from our staff and owners, based on the things they feel you need to know.  That also goes both ways, however.  We want to hear from you!  Any suggestions, comments, praise or criticism.  We can't do a better job if we don't know what we're doing well and what we're doing wrong.  Any time you have anything you'd like us to know, E-Mail us at: blogresponse@kaplansfinejewelry.com.
    We intend to keep you updated through our blog with at least one post every month or two.  If there are ever any topics you, our customers, would like to hear about, please feel free to E-Mail the address above and we will do the best we can to accommodate you.  We also will be offering special promotions through our blog and to those that read and respond to the content.
