What does it mean to get a ring dipped?

I took my ten diamond anniversary band into the jeweler to get it cleaned. It came out so shiny and polished! I was thrilled! The jeweler said he dipped it... what does that mean?

Hi, M. In this context it probably means he rhodium plated it. Please see our White Gold & Rhodium Plating FAQ. Glad to hear you were pleased with it.
