Metals
Starting with the gold pieces in your collection, it should be noted that they are designed to retain their shine and remain unaltered. However, that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t treat them in a special way. What you should do is to clean them carefully with a clean cloth, insisting on the inside of them, which is in direct contact with the skin. Perfumes, colognes, moisturizers and soap are not so friendly to gold jewelry. Alternatively, and especially for chains, take a clean toothbrush, place a small amount of soap on it and carefully scrub the entire surface. After cleaning them properly, place them in their original packaging or in special jewellery boxes to avoid damage and unwanted marks.
Sleeves
The brilliance and beauty of diamonds has remained unchanged over the centuries, being the ultimate symbol of elegance and luxury. Diamonds are more durable than all gemstones and this means that they are easier to maintain. The best way to clean them properly is to put soap and warm water in a bowl and dip your jewellery in it. Then brush the stones with a toothbrush and once dry, polish them with a piece of paper to remove any water marks and “lock in” their shine.
Colored Gems
The strength of gemstones depends on their degree of hardness. What gemstones need is a soft, clean cloth. Carefully go over their entire surface and spend a few minutes on each one for best results. Avoid strong chemicals, exposure to excessive heat sources and sudden temperature changes, as there is a risk of cracking over time.
Pearls
Pearls are the result of a biological process in the sea. This means, they are fragile and delicate pieces, which must be handled with special care. You should be aware that if you don’t wear them often, they may fade. Make sure that they do not come into direct contact with sunlight, as this can cause significant damage. For the best maintenance, clean them carefully with a soft cloth and avoid any contact with wet, chemical substances.
