It is important to take regular care of your precious fine jewellery. Follow some of our easy tips to ensure the beauty of your jewellery for generations to come. Be cautious about cleaning jewellery yourself without more specific knowledge about the material.
This helps to avoid scratches to precious metals and soft gemstones. You can store them in a jewellery box with separate compartments, or a lined container with dividers.
Wipe your jewellery with a soft damp cloth after each time it is worn. This will help to remove makeup, perfumes, dust, perspiration and surface grime that can accumulate on a daily basis. Clean your diamonds with a mild liquid detergent and a soft brush, or one of the specially designed jewellery cleaning clothes from DM Jewellers.
Make sure not to clean them in sink in the event a stone becomes loose or the piece goes down the sink. Consider cleaning the jewellery item in a bowl.
Make sure no gemstones have become loose and fallen out before you tip the cleaning solution down the sink!
Don’t forget to regularly come in-store for a deeper cleaning.
Coloured gemstones such as rubies, sapphires, emeralds should be stored away from direct light and excessive heat.
Other gemstones including turquoise, lapis, coral, onyx and amber are naturally soft and porous and must not be soaked for longer than advised.
Also, be careful with them as they can be scratched easily.
Have your jeweller re-string your pearls once a year, as the strand could be stretched or worn if they have been in contact with chemicals such as perfumes and hairspray. Have pearls knotted between each one, this will prevent the loss of pearls if the string should break.
Wash your pearls with a softened cloth of mild soap and water after taking off to remove perfume, hairspray and cosmetics etc.
Never clean cultured pearls with chemicals or abrasives, as this will damage and scratch the surface of the pearls.
Wrap your pearls in tissue paper or place in a cloth bag when storing and keep them in a box away from other jewellery as you don’t want your other jewellery to scratch the pearls. Store your jewellery in a jewellery roll when travelling, it will keep the jewellery organised and free from tangles and scratches.
Ensure you are adequately insured and that you have up to date valuations. The Jewellery Association of Australia recommends having jewellery valued every 2 years. Check with your insurer to make sure of their requirements.
