which one is usually a free service if you buy a ring from a large store like kay jewelers? i dont remember which one they charge for. and what is the difference? do you leave your jewelery there overnight, do they send it away, what do they do to it? please help!

Os my understanding that they do it while you wait.However I would ask for cleaning and not polishing. I gave them my husband wedding band to clean and they polished it and it lost the beautiful design it had in the center.
