Expert Jewellery Care Tips by Aayan Diamonds: Keep Your Pieces Shining Bright

At Aayan Diamonds, we believe that your jewellery is more than just an accessory—it’s a cherished investment and a symbol of your style and memories. Whether you’re wearing sparkling diamonds, lustrous gold, or precious gemstones, taking proper care of your jewellery ensures that it retains its beauty and lasts for generations. To help you protect your treasured pieces, we’ve put together some essential jewellery care tips to keep them in pristine condition.

1. Keep Your Jewellery Clean and Sparkling

Over time, jewellery can accumulate dirt, oils, and other residues from daily wear. Regular cleaning helps maintain its brilliance and shine. To keep your jewellery looking its best, follow these simple steps:

• Diamond Jewellery: Use a soft toothbrush and a mixture of warm water and mild dish soap to gently clean your diamond pieces. Avoid harsh chemicals, as they can damage the metal or stone.
• Gold Jewellery: Clean gold jewellery with a soft cloth to remove smudges. For a deeper clean, soak it in a mild soap solution and gently scrub with a soft brush.
• Gemstones and Pearls: Be cautious with softer stones like pearls or opals. Wipe them with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and oil, and avoid submerging them in water for long periods.

Remember, avoid using abrasive materials to clean your jewellery, as this can scratch the surface and diminish its shine.

2. Store Jewellery Properly

When you’re not wearing your jewellery, proper storage is key to preventing damage. Here’s how you can store your pieces safely:

• Jewellery Box: Store your items in a lined jewellery box with individual compartments to avoid scratches or tangling. Soft, fabric-lined sections are ideal for delicate pieces.
• Avoid Storing Together: Different metals and stones can scratch each other. Store your rings, bracelets, and necklaces separately to prevent damage.
• Use Anti-Tarnish Cloths: For silver jewellery, use anti-tarnish cloths or pouches to prevent oxidation and tarnishing over time.

3. Avoid Contact with Chemicals

Your jewellery is susceptible to damage from chemicals found in common household products, such as cleaning agents, perfumes, lotions, and even chlorine from pools. To protect your jewellery:

• Take Off Jewellery Before Using Chemicals: Always remove your rings, bracelets, and necklaces before applying makeup, perfume, or cleaning products. The chemicals in these products can cause tarnishing or discoloration.
• Avoid Swimming in Chlorine: Chlorine can weaken metals and cause gemstones to lose their lustre. Always remove your jewellery before entering a pool or hot tub.

4. Regularly Check for Loose Stones and Settings

Over time, wear and tear can cause stones to become loose or settings to become damaged. It’s important to check your jewellery regularly for any signs of damage, such as loose diamonds or gemstones. If you notice any issues, bring your pieces to a professional jeweller like Aayan Diamonds for inspection and repair.

5. Be Gentle on Your Jewellery

Although diamonds and gold are durable, they are not indestructible. Avoid exposing your jewellery to extreme conditions or rough handling. Here are some tips to protect your pieces:

• Avoid Hard Surfaces: Don’t wear your jewellery when doing physical activities like exercising, gardening, or cleaning. Hard impacts can damage stones or bend the metal.
• Take Off Jewellery While Sleeping: Remove your jewellery before going to bed, especially rings and bracelets. Sleeping with them on can cause them to become scratched or misshapen.
• Avoid Excessive Heat and Light: Prolonged exposure to sunlight and excessive heat can damage certain stones, such as opals and pearls. Store these pieces in a cool, dark place when not in use.
