Caring for Your Jewelry

Fine jewelry is designed to last a lifetime — but its beauty and integrity depend on how it's worn, stored and maintained. Daily habits, environmental exposure and improper storage can gradually dull brilliance. A little care keeps every piece as radiant as the day you brought it home.

Daily Care Tips

Avoiding Damage

  • Remove jewelry before physical activity, cleaning or swimming.
  • Avoid wearing while applying lotions, perfume or hairspray.
  • Put jewelry on last when getting ready, and take it off first.
Expert insightOils, sweat and impact are the most common causes of long-term wear, even on durable materials like diamonds.

Effects of Chemicals

  • Chlorine can damage gold alloys over time.
  • Household cleaners may erode fine finishes.
  • Perfumes and cosmetics can leave residue on stones.
Expert insightEven lab-grown diamonds can lose sparkle when residue builds up beneath the stone — regular cleaning restores it.

Essential Care Tools

  • Soft microfibre polishing cloth.
  • Soft-bristle brush for gentle cleaning.
  • Anti-tarnish storage strips.
AvoidSkip abrasive cloths and DIY cleaning hacks — they can scratch metal and loosen stones.
Inspections & Maintenance
Regular checks catch small issues before they become costly repairs.
  • Check for loose stones — gently feel for any movement or rattling.
  • Inspect the setting — look for bent, worn or misaligned prongs.
  • Professional care — have frequently-worn pieces checked and cleaned periodically.
  • Deep clean — professional cleaning restores brilliance home methods can't reach.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
  • Toothpaste or baking soda — too abrasive for fine jewelry and gemstones.
  • Wearing while swimming or exercising — exposes pieces to chemicals and impact.
  • Storing pieces together — harder stones scratch softer ones.
  • Ignoring loose stones — a small wobble today can mean a lost stone tomorrow.
