Professional Polishing Services in San Francisco

Heirloom Engravers is an expert at polishing small items. If it’s made of a solid metal such as gold, silver, platinum, brass, stainless steel, pewter, or aluminum, we can give it a finish you will love. We specialize in matching factory finishes and are the only ones who can match a circular finish on the back of a watch.

When a favorite keepsake loses its shine, the details fade. We restore that brilliance with professional polishing services in San Francisco that respect the item and its story. Often, there are markings or old engraving on the inside of a ring that you don’t want; we can take it out and give the whole ring a high polish.
