Preserving the Radiance: How to Clean & Care for Fine Jewelry

Preserving the Radiance: How to Clean & Care for Fine Jewelry

Fine jewelry is crafted to last for generations, but daily wear exposure to lotions, dust, and soaps will eventually cloud the surfaces of your diamonds and gemstones, reducing their refraction index.

Simple Warm Water Bath

To restore the original sparkle of your rings and necklaces, prepare a small bowl of lukewarm water mixed with a few drops of mild dish soap. Submerge your pieces for 15 to 20 minutes to soften accumulated oils. Use a very soft-bristled toothbrush to gently scrub the settings, especially behind the stones where dust collects.

"Daily rituals of care extend the lifeline of craftsmanship, keeping heirloom treasures radiant."

Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Never expose your 18k gold or platinum jewelry to chlorine bleach or abrasives. These chemicals can weaken gold alloys and corrode prong structures, increasing the risk of losing precious stones.
