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.
Do you have a fine old watch you want to pass down to someone? Let us give it the once over, and you may not want to let it go anymore.
Bring your item to Heirloom Engravers for professional polishing services in San Francisco. We also support engraving requests before or after polishing for a cohesive, finished look. Prices are quoted at the time of drop off, and all work is guaranteed.

Heirloom Engravers did a beautiful job with the bible I took to get embossed with my child's name and date of his first communion. It took a few days to turn around and was able to get it back for the event. Staff and owner are professional and kind. I will definitely go back in the future. Thank you!Posted on Eric GavaletzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent communication, and high quality results!Posted on I-Jong LinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Heirloom Engravers did a very tasteful job on a series of three watches that I brought to them with custom requests for permanent and funky Latin verbiage. Very professional, quick turnaround, and results were better than I expected -- after adapting some aspects of the designs to their good taste and experience. Update 6/20/2023 Another awesome job, for a more scripty and dressy watch. Still going with the Latin from ol' Horace, thoughPosted on Roberto ArceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Heirloom engravers were very productive, quality work done in a timely manner. Highly recommend.
