Proper care is essential to preserve the longevity, beauty, and value of your jewellery. Whether you are tending to a fine jewellery collection, safeguarding a treasured family heirloom, or caring for a newly acquired piece, attentive maintenance will help ensure that your jewellery can be enjoyed for many years to come.
General Care Guidelines
- Handle with care: Remove jewellery before engaging in sports, household chores, or heavy lifting to prevent damage or scratches.
- Avoid chemicals: Keep jewellery away from perfumes, lotions, hairsprays, and cleaning products, which can tarnish metals and affect gemstones.
- Store properly: When not worn, store pieces in their original boxes or soft pouches to prevent scratches and tangling.
- Regular inspection: Periodically check clasps, settings, and mounts to ensure stones are secure and that there is no visible damage.
Cleaning Your Jewellery
- Gold: Wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth. For a deeper clean, use warm water with mild soap and a soft brush, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
- Gemstones: Clean gently with a soft cloth or soft bristled toothbrush; avoid ultrasonic cleaners for delicate or treated stones unless approved by a professional jeweller. Use a separate bowl and avoid cleaning directly over the sink.
- Pearls: Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and store separately, as pearls are delicate and sensitive to acids, moisture, and heat.
Professional Maintenance
For thorough cleaning, stone tightening, or repair, we recommend consulting us or visiting Poniros for expert care. Routine professional maintenance helps preserve both the appearance and structural integrity of your jewellery.
