Free Cleaning for Life

One of the nice extras that Tiffany provides (in addition to the little blue box) involves free lifetime cleaning of your rings. This comes in at #232 in the Purple Goldfish Project.

From the Tiffany.com site:

“Tiffany offers complimentary cleaning to keep your ring as beautiful as it was the
day you received it. An expert will check your stone’s setting and give your ring a
thorough cleaning.”

My wife and I will stop by once or twice a year and drop off our rings. Come back in an hour or two and they’ve given you a complimentary steam, buff and polish. A nice touch and a very purple goldfish.
