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.

 

Professional Maintenance

We recommend a professional cleaning and inspection once a year, especially for:

Engagement rings and solitaires

Prong-set diamonds (to ensure settings are secure)

Antique or heirloom pieces
