To safeguard your jewellery, removing it before engaging in activities that can cause damage is essential.
Please remove your jewellery to avoid unnecessary harm, whether it's rigorous work, sports, swimming, showering, or cleaning and cooking with corrosive substances.
Additionally, be mindful of knocking your jewellery against hard surfaces or exposing it to excessive force.
Regular Cleaning Rituals
Frequently worn jewellery is exposed to oils, dirt, and various products like moisturisers and hairsprays.
Regular cleaning is crucial to prevent the build-up of grime and dirt. You can efficiently perform a basic cleaning at home using a few different methods.
Gently wash and brush your jewellery in a bowl of warm water and mild detergent. Alternatively, soak it in a mixture of 1 part ammonia and 5 parts cold water, repeating if needed, and patting dry.
Following the manufacturer's instructions, you can also use liquid jewellery cleaner or an ultrasonic jewellery cleaner.
Always ensure your jewellery is completely dry before storing it.
Professional Maintenance and Inspections
An annual inspection by a qualified jeweller is recommended for diamond jewellery to ensure the security of settings. This suggestion becomes particularly important if your jewellery is worn daily.
A jeweller can also polish your jewellery and address any tarnishing, scratches, or other damage. Some metals, such as white gold, may require regular re-plating to maintain strength and appearance.
