How to Care for Your Fine Jewelry at Home

Fine jewelry is made to be worn, but a little care keeps it looking its best for a lifetime. The good news is that most maintenance can be done at home with items you already own. The two enemies of sparkle are everyday residue — lotion, oils, and dust — and unnecessary impact or friction.

For a gentle clean, soak gold and diamond pieces in a bowl of warm water with a drop of mild dish soap for ten minutes, then brush softly with a clean, soft toothbrush. Rinse and pat dry with a lint-free cloth. This simple routine restores brilliance to rings and earrings that see daily wear.

Store each piece separately to prevent scratches — a lined box or individual pouches work perfectly. Always put jewelry on last, after perfume, sunscreen, and hairspray, and take rings off before cleaning, gardening, or swimming, since chlorine and harsh chemicals can dull metal and loosen stones.

For sterling silver, an occasional polish with a dedicated silver cloth removes tarnish and brings back the shine. If a piece ever needs deeper attention, bring it to us — we are always happy to inspect and refresh möA jewelry so it stays as beautiful as the day you first wore it.
