Caring for Your Fine Jewelry

Daily Maintenance


Jewelry is delicate and requires regular care to maintain its sparkle. Wearing your pieces daily exposes them to dust, lotions, and even sweat, which can dull their shine. The best way to keep jewelry radiant is to clean it gently with a soft cloth and store it properly when not in use.

It’s also wise to avoid wearing fine jewelry during heavy activities like swimming, exercising, or household chores. Chemicals from detergents and chlorine can harm gemstones and metals.



Professional Care


Even with daily maintenance, professional cleaning is essential. Jewelers use specialized tools and ultrasonic machines that remove deep-seated dirt and restore brilliance. An annual visit to a jeweler ensures that stones are secure and settings remain strong.

Professional inspections also help detect early signs of wear, preventing potential damage or loss of gemstones. Think of it as a health check-up — necessary to keep your jewelry in perfect condition for years to come.



Long-Term Storage


Proper storage is just as important as cleaning. Jewelry should be kept in soft pouches or lined boxes to avoid scratches. Storing different metals or gemstones together can cause them to rub against each other, leading to damage.

For heirloom pieces or rarely worn items, consider storing them in climate-controlled environments to prevent tarnishing. Taking these steps ensures your fine jewelry remains a legacy that can be passed down through generations.
