Jewellery Care Guide

Why Jewellery Care Matters

Your jewellery is an investment that deserves proper care. With the right maintenance, your precious pieces will retain their beauty and value for years to come. Regular care prevents tarnishing, scratches, and damage, ensuring your jewellery looks as stunning as the day you bought it.

Gold Jewellery Care

Cleaning Gold

Gold is relatively soft and requires gentle care:

• Mix warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap
• Soak gold jewellery for 10-15 minutes
• Gently scrub with a soft-bristled toothbrush
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water
• Dry with a soft, lint-free cloth
• Polish with a jewellery polishing cloth for extra shine

Gold Care Tips

• Remove gold jewellery before swimming or bathing
• Apply cosmetics, perfume, and hairspray before wearing gold
• Store in a soft pouch or lined jewellery box
• Avoid wearing during heavy physical activities
• Have prongs checked annually to prevent stone loss

Diamond Care

Cleaning Diamonds

Diamonds are durable but can lose their sparkle if not cleaned properly:

• Soak in a solution of warm water and ammonia (6:1 ratio) for 30 minutes
• Gently brush with a soft toothbrush, especially under the stone
• Rinse under warm running water
• Dry with a lint-free cloth
• For quick cleaning, use a commercial diamond cleaner

Diamond Care Tips

• Diamonds attract grease - clean regularly to maintain brilliance
• Store separately to prevent scratching other jewellery
• Check settings regularly to ensure stones are secure
• Remove during household chores to prevent damage
• Have professionally cleaned every 6 months

Silver Jewellery Care

Preventing Tarnish

Silver tarnishes when exposed to air and moisture. To prevent tarnishing:

• Wear your silver regularly - body oils help prevent tarnish
• Store in anti-tarnish bags or with anti-tarnish strips
• Keep away from rubber, latex, and wool
• Store in a cool, dry place

Cleaning Tarnished Silver

• Use a silver polishing cloth for light tarnish
• For heavier tarnish, use a silver cleaning solution
• Rinse thoroughly and dry completely
• Avoid using paper towels - they can scratch

Pearl Care

Pearls are delicate organic gems that require special care:

Cleaning Pearls

• Wipe with a soft, damp cloth after each wear
• Never use ultrasonic cleaners or steamers
• Avoid harsh chemicals, acids, and abrasives
• If needed, wash gently with mild soap and water
• Lay flat to dry - never hang pearl necklaces

Pearl Care Tips

• Put pearls on last - after makeup, perfume, and hairspray
• Remove pearls first when undressing
• Store separately in a soft pouch
• Restring pearl necklaces every 1-2 years
• Wear regularly - pearls benefit from body moisture

Gemstone Care

Different gemstones require different care:

Hard Gemstones (Sapphire, Ruby, Emerald)

• Clean with warm soapy water and soft brush
• Avoid sudden temperature changes
• Store separately to prevent scratching
• Have settings checked regularly

Soft Gemstones (Opal, Turquoise, Coral)

• Clean only with a damp cloth
• Never use ultrasonic cleaners
• Avoid chemicals and extreme temperatures
• Store away from other jewellery
