Caring for Different Metals

"Gold" (Yellow, White, and Rose)

Characteristics: Gold is durable but can scratch or tarnish over time.

Maintenance Tips:

Avoid wearing gold jewellery in the shower, pool, or while applying lotions and perfumes.
Regularly polish with a soft cloth to maintain shine.
Store separately to prevent scratching.

"Platinum"

Platinum is a popular choice for its durability and lustrous finish.

Characteristics: Platinum is strong and doesn’t tarnish easily, but it can develop a patina (green film formed naturally) over time.

Maintenance Tips:

Clean regularly with mild soap and water.
Buff with a jewellery polishing cloth to maintain its shine.
Have it professionally polished if you prefer a high-gloss finish.

"Other Metals"

Each metal type has unique care requirements.

Silver: Tarnishes easily; clean with a silver polish cloth regularly.
Palladium: Similar to platinum; doesn’t tarnish but may scratch.
Titanium and Stainless Steel: Highly durable; clean with soap and water, then dry thoroughly.

Stone-Specific Care

Lab-Grown Diamonds

Lab-grown diamonds are durable but still require care to maintain their sparkle.

Durability: Lab-grown diamonds are just as hard and durable as natural diamonds.

Cleaning Tips:

Clean regularly with mild soap and water.
Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the diamond’s surface.
Use a soft-bristle toothbrush to reach small crevices.

Other Gemstones

Different gemstones require different levels of care based on their hardness and sensitivity.

Soft Stones: Gemstones like opals, emeralds, and pearls are softer and more delicate.

Cleaning: Use only a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking.

Storage: Store separately in a soft pouch to prevent scratching.

Hard Stones: Gemstones like sapphires and rubies are more durable but still need careful handling.

Cleaning: Safe to clean with mild soap and water. Use a soft brush for thorough cleaning.

Storage: Store separately to avoid scratches.

Storage Solutions

Yes, we know it sounds wild but how you store your jewellery can make a big difference in maintaining its condition.

Jewellery Boxes and Organisers: Use a jewellery box with separate compartments to prevent pieces from scratching each other. Avoid jamming all your pieces into one drawer and try to individually wrap each piece..
Travel Cases: When travelling, use a jewellery travel case with padded compartments to protect your pieces from damage.

Proper storage techniques can prevent unnecessary wear and tear.

Preventing Scratches: Keep pieces separate, especially those with softer stones or intricate designs.
Environmental Factors: Store jewellery in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
