Other Cleaning Care & Tips
How you care for your jewellery will determine its longevity. Over time, all jewellery will collect dirt and grease and appear less brilliant. Here are a few steps you can take to ensure the radiance of your pieces.
Basic cleaning information
- Soak your jewelry in hot water mixing in a small amount of dish soap for 5-10 minutes
- We recommend swishing your jewelry in the hot water so as to loosen the dirt
- Many shops recommend using a soft head bristle brush (like an old toothbrush) and gently brush the jewelry to remove any build up of dirt; just keep in mind that over time that the brush may slowly loosen the diamonds within its setting and may need to be tightened
- Don't clean too many pieces together at once, as they may scratch each other
- After brushing, soak the item for another 5 minutes
- Rinse the jewelry thoroughly under lukewarm water
- Wipe the items dry on a soft cloth, preferably cotton, taking care not to touch any diamonds if they are in your pieces
Storing your jewelry
Your jewelry should be stored in a clean dry place
- Keep each piece stored separately so that they do not scratch or chip each other
Other cleaning and care tips
For a deeper clean, add a household-strength cleaner that contains ammonia, such as Mr. Clean with a ration of 1 part cleaner and 4 - 5 parts warm water.
- Do not use jewellery cleaner or ammonia-based products on pearls or porous stones such as emeralds, rubies, lazuli, coral or turquoise.
- Remember that perfume, cosmetics, and perspiration can stain or tarnish your jewelry and gemstones. Always remove your jewelry and store it properly when performing any manual labor or applying cosmetics or hand lotions.
- Check the diamond settings periodically for any damage to the prongs or bezels. If you see a loose prong, or if the setting looks out of line, bring it to a professional jeweler for repair at once
