RENEW, REFRESH WHEN (AND HOW) TO RESTYLE YOUR JEWELRY RESTYLE Do you have jewelry that has made its way to the back of your jewelry box? Are there pieces you used to love but just don’t wear anymore, or things that are valuable, perhaps passed down to you, but are not your style? There are several ways you can refresh, restyle, and revive them to make them a joy to wear.

REVIVE You don’t remember that gold bangle looking so worn and dingy, but you haven’t sported it in years and have forgotten it could actually shine. Sometimes a simple cleaning and polishing can revive and restore a piece you used to love back to its old luster and beauty. Bring it in, let’s find the sparkle! TIME AND TIME AGAIN If you re-discovered watches during this year’s spring-cleaning binge, they could probably use a good professional cleaning and inspection. Whether it’s your grandfather’s old pocket watch or one of your old favorites that just fell by the wayside, bring it in and we’ll find out what makes it tick. For quartz watches, it could be as simple as a battery change. For automatic watches, you may need a full service.

Either way, it deserves an encore, so bring it in. We’ll have it up and running again in no time.

RESELL If you found something in your jewelry box that you know you won’t wear again or turn into something else, consider selling it. There is demand for vintage and pre-owned jewelry, especially diamonds, designer items, and Swiss timepieces. If your items are broken or in disrepair, recycling them is also an option. With the current high values of karat gold, it’s the perfect time to cash in, or you can receive 25 percent more if you choose store credit and shop for something new to love at Long’s.
