In the past, jewellery pieces were considered as bearing magical values or some talismanic virtues; they were regarded as badges of honour or symbols that allowed recognition of status, belonging and social conditions of the people who wore them. Nowadays, jewellery pieces represent beauty and well-being; they are associated with love; they signify intimacy and mystery. Going to the extreme, we could even say that we can really judge a person by the jewellery they wear, because taste represents an ancestral, basic feature, buried deep within each of us, and jewels are those that reflect our subconscious, today more than ever. Jewellers Worcestershire and their partners, watch repairs Worcestershire specialists are pretty difficult to find, as these are rather extinct crafts in these modern times.

This technology allows the specialists to perform high-quality soldering, durable and with the same type of material the object is made of. Basically, any pieces can be repaired, starting from jewellery, watches and ending with enamelled objects, without affecting in any way their integrity.
Precious stones are not only used in jewellery making, but also in watches. The stones, especially synthetic sapphires or perforated and polished rubies, are used in watches to serve as bearings in gear units as they minimize friction on the mechanism. The wear of these stones is very small so a pivot that rotates in a ruby bearing will undergo very little friction forces. Rubies, and generally synthetic ones, are very tough. Therefore, rubies offer watches a considerable increase in accuracy and life span. Another advantage is the homogeneity of rubies. They can be sanded, thereby further reducing the coefficient of friction. Synthetic rubies do not expand at all. They are not affected by temperature changes or acids and they do not conduct electricity. These are just some of the advantages of using rubies in watches. In the simplest mechanical watch there are at least 15 rubies, in the places most often subjected to friction.
Therefore, the two industries, of jewellery and watches, are interconnected. Both jewellery pieces and watches require periodical cleaning and repairing. The activity of cleaning watches is one of the most common and important maintenance operations required for them. Mechanical watches are systems of moving parts in an assembly that works precisely determined. The pieces are in constant contact with each other and the friction forces act constantly, and consequently the oil degrades over time. Therefore, when it is carried out every few years or whenever necessary, cleaning should be done at the highest quality level. The cleaning procedure is rigorously enforced by watch repairs Worcestershire specialists every time: complete dismantling of the mechanism and placing the parts in a special cleaning substance, followed by manual brushing of each piece; cleaning of all bearings with or without rubies, with a sharp wooden instrument; cleaning all gears with a wooden top; ultrasonic cleaning, demagnetisation, installation, lubrication and finally adjustments.
