Care & Maintenance

Fine jewellery is a precious investment and expression of love that should last a lifetime, so for this reason, it is important to care for it accordingly. Below are some simple tips that will help make caring for your jewellery a breeze.

Professional Maintenance

Wear-and-tear is a completely normal effect on frequently worn jewellery. That’s why it is important to have your jewellery professionally checked and serviced every year, depending on wear. Our professional jewellers will inspect and tighten any stones that may have come loose, file out any deep scratches or dents and polish your jewellery to bring it back to brand new condition.

At Home Cleaning

Most diamond and gemstone jewellery can be cleaned at home very easily. All you need is a bowl of warm water, dishwashing liquid and a soft toothbrush. Let the jewellery items soak in the soapy water for a few minutes, then give them a light scrub with the toothbrush. Rinse under warm water and dry on a tea towel with a hair dryer. Pearls can be cleaned by wiping with a soft, lint-free cloth (no water necessary).

The Dont's

As you wear jewellery more frequently, it becomes part of your lifestyle. Jewellery is meant to be worn, enjoyed and admired, however, jewellery is indestructible and you should keep the following tips in mind:

DON’T wear your rings to the gym, especially when lifting weights. The hardness of steel and the force generated by the heavy weights will damage your rings - even platinum rings.
DON’T wear your jewellery when swimming - especially rings, as they can easily slip off in the water and some chlorine in swimming pools can tarnish the metal.
DON’T wear your jewellery when sleeping as it can easily get caught in hair and bedsheets.
