Jewelry is more than an accessory—it’s a treasure that carries emotion, history, and beauty. To keep your pieces sparkling for years to come, proper care is essential. In this guide, we’ll walk through easy at-home care routines, material-specific tips, and how to know when it’s time to see a professional.
Why Jewelry Care Matters
Even the most exquisite diamonds and gold pieces are affected by sweat, cosmetics, and daily wear. Over time, grime and micro-scratches can dull the surface. Regular maintenance helps preserve brilliance and longevity.
Material-Based Cleaning Tips
Diamonds
- Soak in lukewarm water mixed with mild detergent
- Use a soft toothbrush to gently scrub the setting and underside
- Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth
- Ultrasonic cleaners are safe if there are no cracks or damage
Gold (18K / 10K)
- Gently wipe with a soft cloth after use
- For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water and mild soap
- Do not over-polish; it may damage the surface
Pearls
- Wipe with a soft cloth after each wear
- Never use water or cleaning agents – they may damage the nacre
- Store pearls separately to avoid contact with harder jewelry
How to Store Jewelry Properly
- Keep away from direct sunlight and humidity
- Use individual pouches or compartments in a jewelry box
- During travel, use soft cases to prevent damage
When to See a Professional
- Loose stones or settings
- Broken or weakened chains
- Scratches that affect clarity
In such cases, visit a professional jeweler to ensure safe and proper care.
