When the pieces have been brought to the final polish, they are removed and scrubbed with soapy water to remove any residue, and then sorted and dried. The jewelry now goes through a final inspection for proper stonesetting, consistent polish and correct sizing.

When dry and inspected, jewelry is taken to the office where it is either put into stock, ready for the next order or show, or immediately packaged and shipped out to fill existing orders.  Office manager Liz Piland oversees the care of the jewelry from this point, maintaining inventory and tracking orders for R.E. Piland's many customers.
