Questions

Polishing FAQ

Who polishes silver and plated pieces in Los Angeles?

Royale Silver Co has done silver plating and silversmith work since 1963. Ask about repairs too.

Do plating shops here also polish?

Some do both. Stutzman Plating, founded in 1950, lists polishing with its plating work.

Mirror or brushed?

Mirror shows every mark but looks bright. Brushed hides small scratches. Send a photo of the look you want.

Good to know

  • Send close photos of the worst spots. Deep pits take more time.
  • Ask if the shop polishes in house or sends it out.
