Just as a fine automobile requires periodic maintenance
and inspection, it is essential that jewelry
be
periodically inspected and maintained.
By this we mean having it checked by a jewelry
professional at least once a year.
Hostetters offers cleaning and inspection of your
fine jewelry as a complimentary service.
Should we detect a problem during this process we will
explain our findings and supply you with an estimate
to complete the recommended repair (repairs).
