Cleaning and Caring for Your Jewelry

Listen, I’ll be the first to tell you—take your jewelry out of its case and wear it! Jewelry is meant to be on you, not tucked away. But just like a brand-new car fresh off the lot, shiny and perfect, regular use will inevitably lead to some wear and tear. Your car might get dinged up by a shopping cart or need routine oil maintenance, and the same principle applies to your jewelry.


Engagement rings, wedding bands, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets all require regular maintenance and cleaning. Here’s why: gemstones and diamonds are “set” into precious metal, and there’s no glue holding them in place—just the prongs securing the stones. When you wear your jewelry, especially rings and bracelets, everyday activities like bumping into hard surfaces or catching it on garments can loosen those prongs. The risk of losing a stone—or even multiple stones—increases. So yes, wear your jewelry, but wear it carefully.

Keeping Your Jewelry Clean

As you wear your jewelry, it’s bound to get dirty. Washing your hands, applying lotion, or simply using your hands throughout the day leads to grime building up on your pieces.


Good news: we have our very own fine jewelry cleaner and polishing cloths to help you keep your jewelry sparkling. Our cleaner dissolves buildup, and the tiny brush included helps scrub away debris.


Pro Tip: Have an old toothbrush with soft, worn-out bristles? Don’t throw it away—use it to gently scrub your jewelry instead! Just be sure to use a light touch to avoid scratching. And always read the instructions on the cleaner before using it.

Inspecting Your Jewelry

While cleaning and polishing your jewelry, take a moment to inspect each piece. If anything looks off—like a prong that’s out of place or a stone that feels loose—don’t panic. Bring your jewelry to us for professional maintenance.


At least once a year, have your pieces professionally inspected, cleaned, and maintained. We can tighten any loose prongs, check for damage, and buff out any scratches or scuffs that may have occurred while you were enjoying your jewelry.

At Víya, we take immense pride in the pieces we create for our clients. Our goal is for your jewelry to last a lifetime and be passed down through generations. With the right care, we can ensure your jewelry remains as stunning as the day it became yours.


So, wear your jewelry, love it, and let us help you take care of it—because it’s meant to be cherished for years to come.
