How to care for your jewellery

Your jewellery collection is one of your most cherished possessions. However, to maintain its beauty and have these heirlooms passed down from one generation to another, you need to look after it well. We’ve compiled some tips to preserve the shine in your precious pieces.

• Learn about the cleaning requirements for different pieces of jewellery. For example, you can remove grime from a diamond by gently brushing it with white toothpaste and an old, soft toothbrush. Whereas silver paste or liquid polish can be used to clean silver pieces.
• Avoid repeated contact of jewellery with perfume, cosmetics and household detergents to prevent damage to precious stones and metals.
• Have your jewellery checked and cleaned at least once a year by a professional jeweller around you. They can detect signs of damage or wear and tear. For example, a ring may need a stone replacement or alteration of the claw.

We’re sure these handy hints will help you keep your jewellery in good condition and even inspire you to add a few pieces to your existing selection. Look through our online directory to discover the finest jewellery stores and shops today!
