Cleaning Your Jewelry
Everyday Cleaning Solutions
For most jewelry, a simple solution of dish soap and warm water is effective. As recommended by experts, mix a drop of mild dish soap with warm water and let your jewelry soak for a few minutes. This method is safe for diamonds, gemstones, and most metals. For detailed cleaning instructions, visit our cleaning guide.
Special Care for Delicate Jewelry
Gold plated, vermeil, and certain gemstones require gentler care. Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth instead of a brush to avoid scratching the surface. For more tips on caring for delicate pieces, check out our product care page.
Tackling Tarnish
Silver and brass jewelry can tarnish over time. Use a specialized polishing cloth to gently remove tarnish without damaging the metal. For homemade solutions and more on tackling tarnish, explore our jewelry care guide.
Storing Your Jewelry
Proper storage is key to preventing damage and preserving the beauty of your jewelry. Avoid direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, which can harm delicate stones and metals. Our jewelry storage solutions offer safe and stylish options for keeping your pieces protected.
Professional Care and Maintenance
While regular home care is important, professional cleaning and inspections are recommended to ensure the longevity of your jewelry. Learn more about our services and how often you should have your jewelry professionally cleaned in our engagement ring design process article.
