Jewelry Care
Fine jewelry is an elegant investment that requires proper care to preserve its beauty and longevity.
Cleaning Diamonds
- Choose The Right Cleaner: Use a commercial jewelry cleaner specifically designed for diamonds or prepare a mild solution of soap and warm water.
- Scrub Gently: Use a new, soft-bristled toothbrush to gently brush the diamond, focusing on the underside, where dirt and oil build up.
- Rinse & Dry: Rinse the diamond under warm water and gently dry it with a lint-free cloth
Caring for Pearls
- Wipe After Wearing: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe your pearls after wearing them to remove body oils and residue.
- Clean With Care: For a more thorough clean, dampen a cloth with water and gently clean each pearl.
- Dry Flat: Place the pearls on a soft cloth to dry. Avoid hanging pearl necklaces, as this can cause the thread to stretch.
Maintaining Gold Jewelry
- Prepare Cleaning Solution: Mix a bit of mild dish soap with warm water.
- Soak & Scrub: Soak the gold jewelry briefly, then use a soft toothbrush to gently remove any dirt.
- Rinse & Polish: Rinse the jewelry with clean water and polish with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Do's & Dont's
- Do Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Chlorine, bleach, and strong detergents can damage jewelry.
- Do Beware of Abrasives: Baking soda, toothpaste, and abrasive cleaners can scratch metals and gemstones.
- Do Be Careful With Ultrasonic Cleaners: These are not suitable for all jewelry, especially delicate stones or pieces with loose settings.
- Don't Use DIY Methods: Household remedies like vinegar, lemon juice, or baking soda can harm certain metals and stones.
- Don't Overheat: Steer clear of direct sunlight and don't clean your jewelry with hot water, as heat can cause damage to some gemstones.
