• Your precious diamond jewellery is best stored in individual jewellery cases or cloth pouches. Products such as lotion, soaps, perfumes, and powders and hair sprays can affect the brilliance of the diamonds by leaving a film on them.
• Diamond has the property of repelling water but readily accepts wax and grease. This causes it to get greased and soiled.
• The diamond jewellery needs to be cleaned with care. Soaking the jewellery for a short while in a solution of liquid dishwashing and following it with a mild and gentle scrubbing can do wonders for your precious ice stones. The jewellery can be patted dry with a lint-free cloth.
• You can get your diamond jewellery professionally cleaned once a year.
• Do not wear your diamond rings or ear studs when participating in sports and swimming.
• Keep gold jewellery away from harsh chemicals like household cleaning fluids as they create abrasions and reduce the luster of the metal.

Basic Tips for Fine Jewellery Care

• Get into the habit of removing your jewellery before showering or bathing.
• Try not to touch the stones in your rings when putting them on or off. Instead, hold the ring by the shank (metal portion that encircles the finger). Touching the stone will cause a greasy buildup on their surfaces, which greatly reduces brilliance and sparkle.
• Avoid exposing fine jewellery to intense heat, for example, while cooking. Exposure to extreme heat can cause damage to many gems. Enamel also may be ruined by contact with heat.
• Every 12 to 18 months have your jeweler check each piece to make sure the setting is secure, and have prongs or shanks reinforced as necessary. If you ever feel or hear the stone moving in the setting, it is a warning that prongs or bezel need tightening. Also, check catches and clasps to make sure they are secure and working properly. Failure to take care of this may result in loss or damage.

Enjoy your Jewellery

• Your jewellery is an intimate expression of your personality and a sentimental reminder of important occasions. It will last a lifetime if properly cared for. Keep your favourite pieces in mind when you make additions to your wardrobe! Wear your jewellery. Enjoy it!
