Care of Platinum Jewellery
A mixture of careful storage, home cleaning and professional attention should keep platinum jewellery looking as beautiful as on the first day it was worn.
• It is a good idea to store pieces separately, in a jewellery box or chamois bag so they don't get scratched by other items of jewellery.
• Clean platinum in the same way you clean other fine jewellery – it is safe to use fairy liquid and water. Carefully brush with a soft bristle brush, such as an old toothbrush. After brushing, simply rinse with lukewarm water and allow to dry. Be particularly careful when attempting to clean any platinum jewellery set with gemstones, as some stones require special cleaning procedures.
• It may be a good idea to have your platinum jewellery professionally cleaned once in a while. For platinum jewellery set with gemstones, be sure to do this every six months.
• Be aware that, over time, platinum develops a natural patina that many people in fact prefer over the "just polished" appearance. When this happens, if you prefer, you can take your piece to a qualified jeweller to have it re-polished to a high gloss look.
• Be sure to remove your platinum jewellery when doing heavy or dirty work, to avoid it acquiring a build up of dirt and oil. Also be careful when handling bleach or harsh chemicals.
