Jewellery Care Guide
Fine Jewellery Care
- Store each piece of jewellery separately, ideally in cloth or velvet-lined compartments.
- Always gently wipe your jewellery with a soft, clean cloth after wearing it.
- Be cautious of sweat, perfume, and chemicals, as they can affect the appearance of gold.
- Avoid wearing your jewellery during activities or chores that can cause damage.
- Touch up your jewellery with Rhodium to maintain its shine and luster.
- Periodically clean your Jewellery to remove any accumulated dirt and maintain its brilliance.
Diamond & Gemstone Care
- Diamonds are durable but can still chip, break, or crack upon impact.
- Exercise caution when wearing diamond Jewellery to prevent the loss of any diamonds.
- Gemstones are generally softer than diamonds, so they require extra care when both wearing and storing them
Gold Jewellery Care
- Store plain gold Jewellery separately, preferably lined with tissue or velvet, to prevent scratches and damage.
- For gold Jewellery worn daily, regular cleaning is essential to maintain its shine and remove accumulated dirt and sweat.
- 22K gold is softer than 18K gold and requires careful handling to avoid bending or misshaping.
- If your gold Jewellery includes enamels, be aware that enamel can chip over time, and you should consult your jeweler to have it repaired when needed.
Pearl Jewellery Care
- Store pearls in a soft cloth or tissue to prevent scratches and maintain their luster.
- Store pearl Jewellery separately to avoid friction that can lead to scratches and a reduction in their natural shine.
- Pearl necklaces should undergo re-stringing periodically as the thread weakens over time, making them vulnerable to breakage.
Tips to clean jewellery at home
- Use a soft toothbrush to clean gold, diamond, and gemstone jewellery after soaking it in soapy water or mild detergent. Dry with a soft cloth promptly.
- Toothpaste is an effective option for cleaning plain gold jewellery.
- Never use bleach on any jewellery.
- Lukewarm water is ideal for cleaning most jewellery but should be avoided for pearls, kundan, and enamel pieces.
- Avoid exposing diamond, gemstone, kundan, polki, or enamel jewellery to hot water.
- Store your jewellery in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture and excessive heat.
