Care Guide
How to Keep Your Diamonds Sparkling
Fine jewellery, especially diamond pieces, is designed to last a lifetime—but only with the right care. To keep your jewellery looking as beautiful as the day you received it, follow these simple tips for cleaning, storage, and maintenance.
1. Cleaning Your Jewellery
Diamonds & Precious Stones
Diamonds naturally attract oil and dirt, which can make them lose their sparkle. To keep them radiant:
- Mix warm water with a few drops of dish soap.
- Soak your jewellery for 10–15 minutes and gently scrub with a soft toothbrush.
- Rinse under warm water and dry with a free cloth.
Tip: Avoid using ultrasonic cleaners at home, especially for delicate stones like emeralds or opals, as vibrations can loosen settings.
Gold & Platinum Jewelry
Gold and platinum can dull over time due to exposure to lotions, perfumes, and skin oils. To restore shine:
- Clean with a soap solution and a soft brush.
- Polish with a jewellery polishing cloth to maintain its luster.
Avoid: Harsh chemicals like chlorine, which can weaken metal over time.
2. Storage Tips
- Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or fabric-lined jewellery box to prevent scratches.
- Keep jewellery away from direct sunlight and humidity to prevent tarnishing.
3. Wearing Your Jewellery Safely
Jewellery is durable but not indestructible. Follow these precautions:
- Remove jewellery before exercising, swimming, or doing household chores. Chemicals, sweat, and impact can damage settings.
-
Apply perfumes and lotions before putting on jewellery. Oils and chemicals can dull stones and metals.
- Check settings regularly. If you notice a loose stone, avoid wearing it until it has been professionally inspected.
4. Professional Maintenance
Have your jewellery professionally cleaned and inspected at least once a year to ensure prongs and settings are secure.
