Daily Jewellery Care Tips
Simple habits can protect your diamonds and fine jewellery from unnecessary wear:
Remove jewellery before exercise, swimming, sleeping, or heavy tasks
Avoid contact with chemicals such as perfumes, lotions, and cleaning products
Store pieces separately to prevent scratching
Put jewellery on last when getting ready
These small steps help maintain the radiance and longevity of your jewellery.
How to Clean Your Jewellery at Home
Regular cleaning keeps your diamonds sparkling and metals looking their best.
Gentle Cleaning Method:
Soak jewellery in warm water with mild dish soap
Use a soft unused toothbrush to gently clean around settings
Rinse thoroughly with clean water
Pat dry with a lint-free cloth
Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as they can damage both precious metals and gemstones.
Caring for Diamond Jewellery
Diamonds are incredibly durable, but they still require care:
Check settings regularly to ensure stones are secure
Avoid knocking diamonds against hard surfaces
Clean frequently to maintain maximum brilliance
Whether natural or lab-grown, diamonds perform best when kept clean and well maintained.
Gold Jewellery Care
Gold is a precious metal that can show signs of wear over time:
Store in a soft pouch or lined jewellery box
Polish occasionally with a gentle cloth
Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and chemicals
Routine care helps preserve the finish and lustre of your gold pieces.
Caring for Precious Gemstones
Coloured gemstones such as sapphires, emeralds, and rubies require specialised care:
Clean gently with mild soapy water only
Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, especially for softer or treated stones
Protect from sharp temperature changes and impact
Store separately to prevent scratching
Each gemstone has unique properties, so careful handling helps preserve its natural beauty and longevity.
Caring for Pearl Jewellery
Pearls are particularly delicate and require extra attention:
Avoid contact with perfume, hairspray, and cosmetic
Wipe gently with a soft clean cloth after wearing
Store flat in a soft pouch, separate from harder jewellery
Never soak pearls in water or cleaning solutions
As organic gemstones, pearls benefit from being worn, as natural oils help maintain their lustre.
Safe Jewellery Storage
Proper storage is essential to prevent damage:
Use a dedicated jewellery box with separate compartments
Keep diamonds away from other jewellery to avoid scratching
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
When travelling:
Keep jewellery in a protective travel case
Avoid packing valuable pieces in checked luggage
Only take essentials to reduce risk of loss
· Thoughtful storage protects both structure and appearance.
