Jewellery Care Guide
Keep Your Sparkle Alive
Jewellery is more than an accessory—it’s an expression of love, milestones, and personal style. With proper care, your fine jewellery can last a lifetime and beyond. This guide will help you keep your pieces looking as brilliant as the day you got them.
General Jewellery Care Tips
Remove Before Activities: Take off jewellery before swimming, exercising, sleeping, or doing household chores. Sweat, chemicals, and hard surfaces can cause damage.
Avoid Contact with Chemicals: Perfume, hairspray, lotions, and cleaning agents can dull metal and damage gemstones.
Put Jewellery on Last: Always accessorize after applying makeup and skincare products to avoid buildup on your pieces.
Rotate Regularly: Wearing the same piece every day can lead to wear. Give your jewellery breaks to preserve its beauty and structure.
For Gold, Platinum, and Diamond Jewellery:
Soak in lukewarm water with mild dish soap for 15–20 minutes.
Gently scrub with a soft toothbrush.
Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
For Silver Jewellery:
Use a silver polishing cloth to remove tarnish.
Avoid paper towels—they can scratch soft metals.
For Gemstones:
Use a damp, soft cloth to wipe clean.
Avoid ultrasonic cleaners for softer stones like opals, pearls, and emeralds.
Tip: Never soak porous stones (like turquoise, opal, or pearl) in water.
Storage Tips
Store Separately: Keep jewellery pieces in separate soft pouches or compartments to avoid scratching.
Use Anti-Tarnish Paper: Especially for silver pieces, to prevent oxidation.
Keep Away from Sunlight & Humidity: Avoid storing in bathrooms or near windows.
