Fine jewelry is designed to last a lifetime 闁?but only with proper care. Whether you own moissanite, lab-grown diamonds, or precious metals, following these guidelines will keep your pieces looking their absolute best.
Daily Care
Remove your jewelry before swimming, showering, or applying lotions and perfumes. Chlorine, salt water, and chemicals can dull metals and damage settings over time. Store pieces separately in a soft pouch or lined jewelry box to prevent scratching.
Cleaning at Home
Soak your jewelry in warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap for 15-20 minutes. Gently scrub with a soft-bristled toothbrush, paying attention to the underside of stones where oils accumulate. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
Professional Maintenance
Have your rings inspected by a professional jeweler every 6-12 months. They will check prong tightness, stone security, and metal integrity. Many jewelers offer complimentary cleaning and inspection services.
Storage Tips
Keep jewelry away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Store necklaces hanging to prevent tangling. Place silica gel packets in your jewelry box to control moisture. Never toss jewelry loose in a drawer where pieces can scratch each other.
