Jewellery Care & Cleaning

Your jewellery is made to be worn, loved, and passed down for generations. With proper care and regular cleaning, you can help preserve its beauty, brilliance, and craftsmanship for years to come.

To keep your jewellery looking its best, we recommend:

• Remove jewellery before swimming, showering, exercising, or using household cleaners
• Avoid direct contact with perfumes, lotions, hairspray, and cosmetics
• Store pieces separately in a soft pouch or lined jewellery box to prevent scratching
• Take off rings before gardening, lifting weights, or hands-on activities
• Wipe jewellery gently with a soft cloth after wearing to remove oils and buildup

For most gold and diamond jewellery, a gentle at-home cleaning can help restore sparkle.

Safe Cleaning Method

1. Fill a small bowl with warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap
2. Let your jewellery soak for 15 to 20 minutes
3. Use a soft toothbrush to gently clean around settings and details
4. Rinse thoroughly with clean water
5. Pat dry with a lint-free cloth

Avoid using toothpaste, baking soda, or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage metals and gemstones.

Certain gemstones require extra attention due to their delicate nature.

• Pearls are soft and porous. Avoid moisture, perfumes, hairspray, and chemicals. Clean gently with a dry clean cloth and store separately.
• Opals can be sensitive to heat and sudden temperature changes. Avoid prolonged sun exposure and harsh cleaners.
• Emeralds often contain natural inclusions and should not be cleaned with ultrasonic machines or strong chemicals.

If you are unsure how to care for a specific gemstone, our team is happy to help.

We recommend bringing your jewellery in for professional cleaning and inspection every 6 to 12 months. Regular inspections can help identify loose stones, worn prongs, or clasp issues before they become larger problems.

Professional maintenance helps protect both the beauty and longevity of your jewellery investment.

Proper storage is one of the easiest ways to protect your jewellery.

• Store pieces in a cool, dry place
• Keep chains fastened to avoid tangling
• Use individual compartments or soft pouches
• Keep diamond jewellery separate from softer gemstones to avoid scratching
