Yes, I said, \u201cservice your jewelry\u201d.<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You change the oil in your car regularly, right? You have your air conditioner serviced before it hits 100 degrees in summer? How about your teeth? You see the dentist every 6 months for cleaning, and you change the batteries in your smoke detectors when the time changes. So, why aren\u2019t you bringing your jewelry in for us to inspect and clean, every 6 months?<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Roper\u2019s offers this service for FREE.<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><em>We\u2019re happy to clean and inspect your jewelry. Now you\u2019re wondering, what are we<\/em><br \/>\n<em>looking for?<\/em><\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li>\u00a0Worn or broken tips. Your stones are usually held in by small prongs of gold, silver or platinum. Over<br \/>\ntime that metal wears out, or can even break off. If we catch that in time, we can re-prong or re-tip the piece before the<br \/>\nstones fall out.<\/li>\n<li>Cracks or breaks in the structure of the ring. Sometimes these can\u2019t be seen from the top, but upon closer inspection, those small cracks can be the cause of loose stones.<\/li>\n<li>White gold may need to be rhodium finished to bring it back to the luster it started with.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Pendants can have worn bails (the part the chain runs through).<\/li>\n<li>Chains can be stretched, broken or just plain worn out.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There are lots of other things we look for, all in the name of keeping your jewelry in good shape to wear, as well as beautiful to look at. At the end of the day, our jewelry is special to us. It\u2019s filled with sentiment and attached to some of the most important moments of our lives.<\/p>\n<p><em>It takes a little attention to keep it in beautiful condition, but we think it\u2019s worth it.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:30px;margin-bottom:30px;width:100%;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-single sep-solid\" style=\"--awb-height:20px;--awb-amount:20px;border-color:#e0dede;border-top-width:1px;\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-aligncenter\"><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat fusion-button-default-size button-default fusion-button-default button-1 fusion-button-default-span fusion-button-default-type\" target=\"_self\" title=\"Contact Ropers Today to Schedule Your FREE Jewelry Cleaning\" aria-label=\"Contact Ropers Today to Schedule Your FREE Jewelry Cleaning\" href=\"https:\/\/ropersjewelers.com\/jewelry\/contact\/\"><span class=\"fusion-button-text awb-button__text awb-button__text--default\">Contact Ropers Today to Schedule Your FREE Jewelry Cleaning<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:30px;margin-bottom:30px;width:100%;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-single sep-solid\" style=\"--awb-height:20px;--awb-amount:20px;border-color:#e0dede;border-top-width:1px;\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1545,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[227],"tags":[229,228,230],"class_list":["post-1540","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-jewelry-tips-and-tricks","tag-jewelry-cleaning","tag-jewelry-service","tag-jewlery-repair"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ropersjewelers.com\/jewelry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1540","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ropersjewelers.com\/jewelry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ropersjewelers.com\/jewelry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ropersjewelers.com\/jewelry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ropersjewelers.com\/jewelry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1540"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/ropersjewelers.com\/jewelry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1540\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1549,"href":"https:\/\/ropersjewelers.com\/jewelry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1540\/revisions\/1549"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ropersjewelers.com\/jewelry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1545"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ropersjewelers.com\/jewelry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1540"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ropersjewelers.com\/jewelry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1540"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ropersjewelers.com\/jewelry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1540"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
