The Complete Guide to Jewelry Care: Preserving Brilliance, Keeping Treasures Timeless
Jewelry is like a radiant poem from time, carrying memories and telling stories. Only through attentive care can it continue to shine brilliantly. We have prepared a detailed and thoughtful jewelry care guide to help you preserve every precious sparkle.
-
Wear Wisely, Avoid Potential Damage
In the following situations, we recommend temporarily removing your jewelry to give it gentle care:-
During exercise or sports: Impact or pressure from intense activity may loosen gemstones or deform metal settings, especially with fully paved designs.
-
During gardening or manual work: Contact with soil or hard objects may cause gemstones to chip or settings to loosen.
-
During household cleaning: Chemicals may corrode the surface of jewelry. It’s best to remove jewelry before washing dishes or cleaning to avoid contact with detergents.
-
-
Store Properly, Avoid Chemical Exposure
Even when removed, jewelry deserves its own “little sanctuary”:-
Place in a dedicated jewelry box or soft pouch to prevent scratching, friction, or loss.
-
Keep away from daily chemical products such as perfume, lotion, and sunscreen, as these substances may adhere to the surface, dulling its shine or even damaging the material.
-
-
Regular Inspections, Prevent Risks Early
We recommend a professional inspection every six months:-
Check whether gemstones are securely set to avoid loss due to loosening.
-
After exposure to special environments (such as swimming, cooking, hot springs, etc.), pay attention to the condition of your jewelry, as temperature and chemicals may affect it.

Proper Cleaning for Lasting Shine
-
Professional care: Regularly use cleaning services offered by jewelers to refresh your jewelry’s brilliance.
-
At-home cleaning:
-
Use a small amount of mild dish soap and a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently clean areas prone to dirt buildup, such as the back of the setting.
-
Soak jewelry in a diluted ammonia solution (one part ammonia to three parts water) for a few minutes, then gently brush with a soft brush and rinse with warm water.
-
After cleaning, place the jewelry on a soft towel to air dry or gently pat dry.
-
Friendly Reminders:
-
When cleaning jewelry outdoors, use a strainer or container to prevent slipping and loss.
-
Apply perfume, lotions, or skincare products before putting on jewelry to avoid direct chemical contact.
Jewelry is more than an accessory—it is a continuation of sentiment and a vessel of emotion. With daily attentive care, you can preserve its radiant beauty, allowing every gleam to shine gently through the years.
