Jewellery's Care
Jewelry Care: Keep Your Jewelry Shiny and Beautiful
Your jewelry is valuable not only for its material worth but also for the memories and emotions tied to it. Therefore, proper care is essential to maintain its beauty, sparkle, and magic over time.
Protection from Damage
-
Storage: Store each piece of jewelry separately in soft pouches, lined boxes, or fabric pouches to avoid scratches and tangling. Special care should be given to diamonds, as their hardness can scratch other jewelry – even other diamonds!
-
Avoid Chemicals: Keep jewelry away from colognes, hairsprays, body creams, perfumes, or other chemicals. These substances can alter the sparkle of stones, the texture of metals, and the finish of your jewelry.
Care for Precious Stones
• Diamonds: Clean them with lukewarm water, mild soap, and a soft brush, avoiding excessive pressure. After cleaning, ensure no soap residue is left, as it can dull their shine.
• Emeralds: Never clean emeralds with an ultrasonic device due to their fragility. Opt for gentle cleaning with water and a soft cloth.
• Pearls: Pearls are natural organisms and particularly delicate. Clean them after each use with a damp, soft cloth. Avoid exposing them to heat and dry environments, as they may dehydrate. Be sure to replace the thread in pearl necklaces every 3-5 years.

Check for Damage
• Clasps and Fastenings: Regularly check the clasps on your necklaces and bracelets for any loosening. Precious stones should be securely fastened, as a knock can cause a stone to loosen.
• Restorations: If you notice any damage or scratches, it’s important to consult a skilled jeweler for maintenance or repairs.
Cleaning Silver Jewelry
For your silver jewelry, you can use a natural cleaning method:
1. Line the inside of a container with aluminum foil.
2. Add water and baking soda.
3. Let the jewelry soak for a few minutes.
4. Wipe them clean with a soft cloth to reveal their shine.
