Complimentary Cleaning Service
Every creation by The Altered Carbon is a reflection of artistry, precision, and enduring beauty — designed to be worn, loved, and remembered.
Over time, even the finest jewelry deserves thoughtful care to preserve its brilliance.
To ensure your piece continues to radiate as beautifully as the day it was crafted, we offer an exclusive Cleaning & Polishing Service, designed to restore its original shine, structure, and elegance.
Complimentary First-Year Care
With every purchase, you receive one year of complimentary professional care.
Within the first 12 months, you may send your piece to us for a complete cleaning, polishing, and inspection — at no additional cost.
Only two-way shipping is to be borne by the customer.
Upon arrival, your piece is entrusted to our master craftsmen, who will:
- Carefully inspect the structure and setting integrity
- Secure and refine prongs wherever required
- Professionally clean the piece to remove buildup from everyday wear
- Polish the metal surface to restore its smooth finish
- Revive its original brilliance and radiance
This service ensures your jewelry continues to shine with the same beauty it held on the day it became yours.
Care Beyond the First Year
Our commitment to your piece extends far beyond the first year.
After the complimentary period, we continue to offer our Cleaning & Polishing Service at a nominal fee, ensuring your jewelry remains in its finest condition for years to come.
This service includes:
- A complete structural and gemstone inspection
- Deep professional cleaning and polish
- Prong tightening and refinements (if required)
- Restoration of shine and overall finish
Each piece is handled by the same skilled artisans who bring our creations to life, ensuring consistency in craftsmanship and care.
Once received, your jewelry is typically serviced and returned within 10-15 business days.
