Silver Finishing
Silver, with its brilliant sheen and timeless beauty, demands the highest level of care when it comes to finishing. At R & R Polishing Ltd, we understand the delicate nature of silver — whether it's sterling, Britannia, or fine silver alloys — and apply generations of skill to achieve flawless, scratch-free results that enhance and protect the metal’s natural luster.
Our Expertise:
Silver is an inherently soft and sensitive material, meaning it requires specialist techniques and an exceptionally delicate touch during finishing.
At R & R Polishing Ltd, we use ultra-soft cotton and loose-leaf wheels, carefully selected for their ability to gently burnish rather than aggressively cut. To achieve that deep, mirror-bright shine without risking fine scratches or surface damage, we exclusively use premium-grade jewellers' rouge — a time-honored polishing compound specifically formulated for silver finishing.
Prior to polishing, every item undergoes thorough ultrasonic cleaning, ensuring all contaminants, residues, and handling oils are completely removed. This vital preparation prevents embedded debris from causing micro-scratches during the finishing process.
Our final-stage polishing is an art form in itself — carefully controlled temperature, pressure, and wheel speed are essential to avoid "drag lines," over-buffing, or distortion. It’s a level of finesse that can only be achieved through years — even decades — of specialist experience.
Why Silver Finishing Matters:
Poor technique can permanently mar silver items.
Incorrect wheel hardness, excessive compound, or careless buffing can remove fine hallmarks, soften sharp details, or cause ripple effects in the surface. True silver polishing preserves the craftsmanship, sharpness, and soul of the original piece.
