Whether you have precious heirlooms or trendy fashion pieces, this comprehensive guide will help you keep your jewelry looking its best.

General Care Instructions

  • Take off your jewelry while showering or bathing, especially when you're at the beach, in the sea, ocean, lake, or in chlorinated water.
  • Avoid wearing jewelry during physical activities like housekeeping, gardening, or exercise.
  • Always refrain from subjecting your jewelry to household cleaning products, especially those containing bleach and highly reactive solutions.
  • Avoid spraying perfume, hairspray on the gemstones or pearls as it can compromise and jeopardise the integrity of the material
  • Remove jewellery when applying make-up, creams to avoid the residue getting into the texture or gemstone setting. Any residue dulls the shine of your ring
  • Keep away from extreme temperatures and humidity
  • If you notice any gemstones moving, please have that repaired immediately to avoid any further damage or loss of stones

Cleaning

  • Gentle Cleaning: Regularly clean your jewelry to remove dirt, oils, and sweat. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the surface. Do not use tissue paper or paper towels to clean metal as they can cause scratching.
  • Jewelry Polishing Products: We highly recommend jewelry polish products for cleaning. However, for most jewelry types, mix warm water with a few drops of mild dishwashing soap. Soak your jewelry for a few minutes, then use a soft brush (a toothbrush works well) to clean hard-to-reach areas. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a clean cloth. Home cleaning products do not replace professional cleaning.
  • Ultrasonic Cleaners: Ultrasonic cleaners are safe for many jewelry types. Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully, and use them sparingly to avoid potential damage.

  • Gemstone-Specific Cleaning:

    • Diamonds: Clean diamonds with a mixture of water and ammonia (or a store-bought diamond cleaner).
    • Pearls: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe pearls. Avoid submerging them in water.
    • Opals: Avoid exposing opals to water or extreme temperatures. Wipe them with a damp cloth.
    • Silver: Silver jewelry can tarnish; use a silver-polishing cloth or silver cleaner to restore shine.

 Storing

  • Store Separately: Store each piece of jewelry separately to prevent scratches and tangles. Use jewelry boxes, pouches, or individual compartments within a jewelry organizer.
  • Use Correct Equipment: There are different type of storing equipments for different accessories and aims. Anti-tarnish strips, airtight containers, necklace hooks, earring holders, drawer dividers, bracelet stands are helpful for long term well maintained jewelries.
  • Store in a Cool, Dark Place: Avoid storing jewelry in direct sunlight or near heat sources, as this can cause gemstones to fade or become damaged.
