Guide to jewelery maintenance

The care and maintenance of jewelry, including diamond jewelry, is essential to ensure that it remains beautiful and in tip-top condition over time.

The care of the jewel is particular and depends on the type of object and especially on the metals we are dealing with. The best way to keep them always in excellent condition is to do a service once a year by going to the jewelers or specialized laboratories that will clean and renew your jewels.

It may be inconvenient and expensive but optimal care of the jewel requires specific equipment that unfortunately we do not have at home, in any case we can draw up a list of tips that can help you maintain your jewels as long as possible.

Jewellery is a very delicate luxury accessory and must be treated as such. Avoid wearing your jewellery while doing household chores, when playing sports or while sleeping. Avoid wearing it while swimming in the sea and remember to remove it before a thermal bath or on any occasion in which sweat or other agents such as water, earth and dust may come into contact with the jewellery because it could come out stained, scratched or dirty, thus losing its shine and brilliance.

Here are some practical tips for taking care of your precious items:

Regular cleaning

Clean your diamond jewelry regularly to remove dirt, grease, and debris that can build up over time. Use warm water and mild soap along with an ultra-soft bristle brush to remove impurities. Be sure to rinse your jewelry well and dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth to avoid stains and scratches.

Be careful not to rub the jewel too hard, the bristles of the brush could weaken the diamond setting and increase the risk of losing stones.

Avoid chemicals

Avoid exposing your jewelry to harsh chemicals such as ammonia, bleach, or solvents, as they can damage metals and gemstones, compromising their luster and beauty.

Avoid bumps and scratches

Despite the hardness of diamonds, they can still be scratched or broken by impacts or scrapes. Wear your jewelry with care and remove it during activities that could expose it to risk of damage.

Proper storage

Store your jewelry properly when not in use. Use soft boxes lined with fabric or cloth bags to protect them from scratches and damage. Avoid storing multiple pieces of jewelry together so that they do not damage each other.

Check your jewelry regularly to make sure all stones are securely set and that there are no signs of damage or wear. If you notice any problems, take your jewelry to a professional jeweler for repair.

Professional maintenance

In addition to daily care, take your jewelry to a jeweler at least once a year for a more thorough cleaning and inspection. The jeweler can check the integrity of the setting, thoroughly clean the jewelry, and advise you on any maintenance activities.

By following these tips, your jewelry, including diamond jewelry, will maintain its beauty and brilliance for many years to come, allowing you to fully enjoy its elegance without worries.
