How to Care for Your Gold, Diamond & Gemstone Jewelry

         

.Timeless Tips for Keeping Your Jewelry Beautiful

Your jewelry tells a story — of love, celebration, and moments worth remembering.
To keep your favorite gold, diamond, and gemstone pieces glowing for years to come, a little care goes a long way. Here’s a simple guide to keeping every sparkle bright and beautiful.

💎 Cleaning Your Jewelry

Gold
Cleaning gold jewelry is simple and gentle. Mix warm water with a drop of mild dish soap, soak for a few minutes, and softly brush with a clean toothbrush. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth.

Diamonds
Diamonds love sparkle but not harsh chemicals. Use a mild soap-and-water solution and a soft brush or cloth to bring back their brilliance. Avoid bleach or strong cleaners that can dull the shine.

Gemstones
Each gemstone is unique. Avoid hot water with amethyst or opal, and do not soak porous stones like emeralds or turquoise. When in doubt, clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Never steam or ultrasonically clean unless you know it’s safe for that stone.

📦 Storage Tips

  • Store Separately: Keep each piece in its own soft pouch or padded box to prevent scratches.

  • Keep It Dry: Avoid humidity, heat, and direct sunlight. A cool, dry place protects the metal and prevents tarnish.

🧴 Daily Care

  • Remove Before Activities: Take off your jewelry before sports, cleaning, swimming, or showering.

  • Wait After Applying Products: Creams, perfumes, and sprays can leave residue. Wait about 30 minutes before putting jewelry on.

🔍 Annual Check-Up

Even the finest craftsmanship deserves a quick inspection.
Have your jeweler check prongs, settings, and clasps once a year to ensure everything is secure and shining.

✨ Final Thoughts

With mindful care, your jewelry will stay timeless.
A few small habits: gentle cleaning, proper storage, and regular checks keep your gold, diamond, and gemstone pieces as stunning as the day you received them.
