Restoration
We can restore almost any silver item. We also offer a reasonable price on silver plating, re-soldering, machine and hand polishing, and many other types of repairs.
Purchasing And Trading
We buy sterling silver items, including items that are damaged. We also offer a trade-in store credit, should you wish to acquire a different pattern or item. If you wish to sell your silver, we require that the items be brought into the store in their entirety (no quotes are given on an entire set with only a few sample pieces).
Procedure

Hand Engraving
We offer hand engraving on precious metals. Our engraver is quite talented, and she can match any style you like. If you wish to include a sample, photo or drawing, she will match that, as well.
Procedure
1
Bring the item to be engraved into the store or ship the item to our shop.
2
Pick out a style from our standard engraving chart. We will be happy to make recommendations.
3
The typical time for hand engraving is three weeks, though we can request a faster turnaround. The time is sometimes longer leading up to holidays and graduations.
4
We will contact you by email, text or phone once the engraving is completed. Shipping arrangements can be made, if you wish.
Gift Wrapping

Cleaning Polishing
As You Like it Silver Shop will professionally clean your silver for you, and at a very reasonable rate. Often, we can polish the items quickly, just in time for your weekend dinner party!
Cleaning your Silver
Whether you are polishing sterling or silver plate, we highly recommend our 4-piece cleaning kit. This has most everything you need, including our famous, easy to use As You Like It Silver Shop paste polish. You may apply the polish with the dense sponge included or a soft cotton fabric, such as a T-shirt or towel. The polish cleans by rubbing the polish on the piece, and depending on the sturdiness and degree of oxidation on the item you are polishing, you may rub the polish gently or more vigorously. Some people appreciate the way the oxidation builds up in the background of patterns or detail work on silver, while others prefer a thoroughly “clean” look. For the latter group, a soft toothbrush used with our polish will remove the oxidation from these areas.
Once you are done polishing the entire piece, the next step is rinsing. We recommend rinsing the silver in warm water, and using a horse hair brush, such as the Cape Cod brand brush (included), to remove any excess polish and film.
If you leave your silver candelabra, tea service, trays, etc. out to admire every day or if you have your silver displayed in a glass cabinet in your home, the Silver Butler drying cloth( included) is essential. Once you have rinsed your silverware, dry it with the Silver Butler towel and this will apply a layer of protection from the compounds in the air that oxidize your silver. This will preserve the shine on your silver for several additional months. If your silver is already polished, there is no need to polish it again before using the Silver Butler drying towel. You may simply rinse the item and then dry it off with the Silver Butler to apply the protective coating.
