How to care for your jewellery

How to Care for Your Jewellery:

1. General Guidelines:

   • Store jewellery in a cool, dry place, preferably in individual soft pouches or a lined jewellery box to prevent scratches and tangling.
   • Avoid contact with harsh chemicals, perfumes, lotions, and household cleaners to prevent discoloration and damage.
   • Remove jewellery before swimming, showering, or engaging in activities that involve exposure to sweat, chlorine, or saltwater.

2. How to Care for Silver Jewellery:

   • Silver can tarnish over time due to exposure to air and moisture. To minimize tarnish:
     • Store silver pieces in airtight bags or anti-tarnish cloths.
     • Regularly polish with a soft, non-abrasive cloth or a specialized silver polishing cloth.
     • Avoid wearing silver jewellery in humid environments or while swimming.

3. How to Care for Gold and Platinum Jewellery:

   • Although gold and platinum are durable, they can still get scratched or lose their shine. To maintain their appearance:
     • Clean regularly with a mild soapy water solution and a soft brush.
     • Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth after cleaning.
     • Consider professional polishing for deeper cleaning and restoration.
     • Store gold and platinum pieces separately to avoid scratches.

4. How to Care for Gemstone Jewellery:

   • Gemstones can be sensitive to heat, light, and chemicals. To protect them:
     • Clean gently with a damp cloth and avoid soaking in water or using harsh chemicals.
     • Store gemstones separately to prevent scratches and damage.
     • Keep gemstone jewellery away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to avoid fading or cracking.

5. How to Care for Lab-Grown and Natural Diamond Jewellery:

   • Diamonds, though extremely hard, need regular care to maintain their brilliance. To keep them sparkling:
     • Clean regularly with a soft brush, warm water, and mild detergent to remove oils and dirt.
     • Store diamond pieces in a padded jewellery box to prevent scratches.
     • Avoid wearing diamond jewellery during rough activities that could cause damage.
     • Whether lab-created or natural, treat your diamonds with care to preserve their beauty and value.
