The best way to clean diamond jewellery is with a simple solution of warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap. Soak your piece for 20-40 minutes, then gently brush the stone with a very soft toothbrush, especially around the setting. Rinse under warm running water and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach.

While diamonds are durable, it's wise to remove your ring during strenuous activities like gardening, exercising, or heavy lifting to prevent damage to the setting. Also, remove it when dealing with chlorine or harsh chemicals, such as when swimming or cleaning.

Diamonds are natural magnets for grease and oil. Lotions, soaps, and even natural oils from your skin can create a film on the surface, which reduces its brilliance. Regular cleaning will easily remove this film and restore its fire.

Ultrasonic cleaners can be effective, but they should be used with caution. They work by sending vibrations through a cleaning solution. If your diamond has inclusions or the setting is loose, these vibrations could potentially cause damage. It's always safest to consult with us first.

Store your diamond jewellery in a fabric-lined case with separate compartments or in soft cloth pouches. Because diamonds can scratch other gemstones and metals (and even each other), keeping them separate is essential.

Despite being the hardest natural substance, a diamond can be chipped by a sharp blow along its grain. This is why removing your jewellery during high-impact activities is so important to protect both the stone and its setting.

For a simple clean, mix a few drops of mild, non-detergent soap with warm water. Use a soft cloth or a very soft brush to gently clean the item. Rinse with clean water and pat dry with a soft cloth. Avoid using any abrasive materials that could scratch the gold.

Store your gold pieces separately in soft cloth pouches or in a fabric-lined jewellery box with individual compartments. This prevents them from scratching against other harder stones or metals. Gold is a relatively soft metal, so proper storage is key.

No, you should always remove your gold jewellery before entering a swimming pool or hot tub. The chlorine in the water can react with the alloys in the gold, causing discoloration and even structural damage over time.

It's best to put your gold jewellery on last, after applying makeup, perfume, and hairspray. The chemicals in these products can build up on the surface and dull the gold's natural lustre. Remove it first before taking off clothes.

If your gold jewellery contains softer stones like pearls or opals, avoid soaking the entire piece. Instead, clean the metal with a soft cloth, avoiding the gemstones. For harder stones like diamonds, the gentle soap and water method is safe.

Karat (K) is the measure of gold purity. 24K is pure gold, which is too soft for most jewellery. It is mixed with other metals (alloys) to increase its durability. 22K gold is 22 parts gold and 2 parts other metals (91.6% pure), making it ideal for traditional Indian jewellery.

The golden rule is that pearls should be the "last thing you put on, and the first thing you take off." Pearls are organic and porous, making them vulnerable to chemicals found in cosmetics, hairspray, and perfume. Wiping them with a soft cloth after every wear is recommended.

After wearing, simply wipe your pearls with a soft, lint-free cloth. If they are visibly stained, you can use a cloth dampened with a solution of lukewarm water and a very mild soap. Let the pearls air dry completely before storing. Never submerge a pearl necklace in water.

Store pearls separately from other jewellery to prevent scratching. A soft pouch or a fabric-lined box is ideal. Pearls need to "breathe," so avoid storing them in airtight plastic bags. They benefit from the natural moisture in the air.

You should avoid getting pearls wet. Do not wear them while swimming, showering, or in a sauna. Water can weaken the silk thread used to string the pearls, causing it to stretch and potentially break.

If you wear your pearl necklace frequently, it should be restrung once a year. The silk thread can stretch or weaken over time. Check for space between the pearls; if you can see the thread, it's time for restringing.

The knots serve two important purposes. First, they prevent the pearls from rubbing against each other and causing damage. Second, if the strand ever breaks, the knots will prevent all of the pearls from scattering.

Tarnish is a natural process that occurs when silver reacts with sulfur and hydrogen sulfide in the air. This causes a dark layer to form on the surface. Humidity, pollution, and contact with certain chemicals can speed up this process.

The best way to prevent tarnish is to store your silver in a cool, dark place. Keeping it in an anti-tarnish cloth or a sealed plastic bag can significantly slow down the tarnishing process. Also, wearing your silver jewellery often can help keep it tarnish-free!

For light tarnish, use a professional silver polishing cloth. For heavier tarnish, use a reputable silver polish cream or a paste made from baking soda and water. Apply with a soft cloth, rub gently, rinse with warm water, and buff dry with a clean cloth.

Avoid using harsh chemicals, bleach, and chlorine. Never use abrasive materials like rough cloths or stiff brushes, as silver is a soft metal and can scratch easily. Toothpaste, while a common home remedy, can be too abrasive for fine silver.

It's best to avoid it. While water itself doesn't harm silver, the chemicals in soaps, shampoos, and conditioners can cause it to tarnish more quickly. It's always better to remove your silver before bathing.
