Fine jewellery is meant to be worn and cherished for years — but to preserve its brilliance, it needs thoughtful care. Diamonds and gemstones, though naturally resilient, can lose their shine over time if exposed to everyday dust, lotions, perfumes or impact. With the right care routine, your jewellery will continue to look as radiant as the day you received i
1. Clean Your Jewellery Regularly
A gentle cleaning routine helps maintain sparkle and clarity.
-
Soak the piece in lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap.
-
Gently brush with a soft, clean brush.
-
Rinse and pat dry with a soft lint-free cloth.
This removes build-up without damaging the stone or metal. Avoid harsh chemicals — they can dull the finish.
2. Avoid Contact with Perfumes & Cosmetics
Perfumes, lotions, hairsprays, and makeup can leave residue on both diamonds and coloured gemstones.
Always wear your jewellery last — once you’re dressed and ready — to keep the stones clean and luminous.
3. Store Each Piece Separately
Diamonds are extremely hard and may scratch other gemstones or metal if stored together. Use:
-
Individual pouches
-
Soft-lined jewellery boxes
-
Separate compartments
This prevents scratches, tangling and unnecessary wear.
4. Handle Gemstones with Care
Colored gemstones like emeralds, opals, pearls and turquoise are more delicate than diamonds. Avoid:
-
Direct heat
-
Strong lighting for long hours
-
Ultrasonic cleaners (unless advised)
Gentle cleaning is always best for maintaining their colour and natural luster.
5. Remove Jewellery During Daily Activities
To prevent accidental impact or dulling, remove jewellery before:
-
Showering
-
Sleeping
-
Exercising
-
Cooking
-
Swimming (chlorine and salt water can damage metal and gemstone polish)
Your jewellery should complement your day — not endure it.
6. Schedule Professional Maintenance
A professional jeweller can:
-
Check stone settings
-
Re-polish metal surfaces
-
Deep-clean your piece safely
An annual check ensures each piece remains secure and flawless.
