Jewellery Care
18K Gold & Diamond Jewellery Manual
Always put your jewelry on after applying perfumes, lotions, and hairspray to avoid chemical buildup that dulls gold and diamonds.
Safe Cleaning: Solution: Mix warm water with a few drops of mild, ammonia-free dish soap.
Soak: Submerge for 20–30 minutes to loosen oils and grime.
Scrub: Use a soft-bristled baby toothbrush to gently clean the diamond, focusing on the "pavilion" (underside) where dirt blocks light.
Rinse & Dry: Rinse under warm water (ensure the drain is covered!) and pat dry with a lint-free microfiber cloth.
Annual Maintenance: Take your pieces to a professional jeweler once a year to check the security of the diamond settings and prongs.
Silver & Diamond Jewellery Guide
Combat Tarnish: Sterling silver reacts with sulfur in the air, causing it to turn dark. Wear your silver often; natural skin oils can actually help prevent tarnish.
Gentle Polishing: Use a specialized silver polishing cloth to restore shine. Avoid toothpaste, as its abrasives can leave permanent micro-scratches on the silver.
Deep Cleaning: Line a bowl with aluminum foil (shiny side up). Add hot water and one tablespoon of baking soda. Soak for 10–15 minutes, rinse, and dry immediately to avoid water spots.
Storage: Store in an airtight bag with an anti-tarnish strip to minimize exposure to humidity and air.
18K Gold-Plated Jewelry Guide
Preserve the Layer - Plating is a thin layer of gold
Daily Care: No Water - Remove before showering, swimming, or exercising. Sweat and chlorine are highly corrosive to plating.
Dry Wipe Only: After each wear, wipe gently with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove skin oils. Do not use jewelry cleaning chemicals or "special gold cloths," as they can strip the plating.
When to Deep Clean: If heavily soiled, briefly soak in lukewarm soapy water (1–2 minutes max). Do not use ultrasonic cleaners, as the vibrations can cause plating to chip or peel.
Storage: Store each piece separately in its own soft pouch or lined box to prevent "plating-on-plating" friction that causes wear.
