How to Care for Your Fine Jewellery
Simple daily habits to keep your jewellery sparkling for a lifetime.
Fine jewellery is an investment. With the right care, it will outlast generations. Here are the habits that make all the difference.
Daily Do's and Don'ts
Do:
- Remove jewellery before swimming, bathing, or exercising
- Put jewellery on last — after makeup, hairspray, and perfume
- Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or lined box
Don't:
- Expose jewellery to household cleaners, chlorine, or bleach
- Sleep with rings on (metals can deform under prolonged pressure)
- Pile jewellery together in a drawer (this causes scratching)
Cleaning at Home
For gold and diamond jewellery, a soak in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap (5–10 minutes), followed by a gentle scrub with a soft toothbrush and a thorough rinse, works wonders.
For gemstone jewellery, avoid soaking — wipe with a damp cloth only, since certain stones (pearls, opals, emeralds) are sensitive to water and chemicals.
