Jewelry Care Tips

 

Jewelry Care Guide

"Jewelry should be the last thing you wear when you go out and the first thing you take off when you get home."

General Care: A professional should regularly check your jewelry for damage or wear. They take great pride in helping you keep your pieces looking as beautiful as the day they were bought.

  • Activity: Remove jewelry before any activity that could scratch or damage it. If in doubt, take it off.
  • Sleep: Always remove your jewelry before going to bed.
  • Chemicals: Keep away from chemicals, especially chlorine. If contact occurs, rinse immediately with water.
  • Beauty Routine: Bathe and apply lotions or perfumes before putting on your jewelry.
  • Storage: Store pieces separately in a soft-lined box to avoid tangling or scratching. Keep chains fastened to prevent knots.
  • Environment: Keep jewelry away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, or damp conditions.

Cleaning Diamonds & Moissanite Despite their hardness, diamonds and moissanite can attract oil from skin and dust, which affects their brilliance.

  • Method: Soak in warm water with a few drops of mild degreasing soap. Gently brush with a soft, clean toothbrush and dry with a lint-free cloth. Be extra careful with the stone's setting.

Cleaning Gold & Silver

  • Gold: Soak for ten minutes in lukewarm water with mild soap. Clean with a soft-bristled brush, rinse, and dry gently. Gold is a soft metal, so handle it with care to avoid scratches.
  • Silver: Use a specialist silver cleaning cloth. For stubborn tarnishing, use a mix of equal parts white vinegar and water. Brush gently, rinse thoroughly, and leave to air dry.
