Jewellery Care

Dust, pollution and daily wear all conspire to cloud the brilliance of a gemstone and dull the surface of platinum and gold. We suggest that your jewellery receive periodic professional maintenance. You can take jewellery to your local jeweller to be cleaned. Between professional cleanings, we recommend the occasional use of a nonabrasive cleaner for diamond jewellery.

Most diamond and precious stone jewellery (with the exception of opals and emeralds) can be cleaned in warm water, using a mild detergent. Always dry your jewellery after cleaning with a soft cloth.

Since many genuine gemstones and especially pearls are quite delicate, hot water, harsh chemicals and cleaners should be avoided at all times. Very porous stones such as pearls, opals and emeralds should be cleaned using an untreated, dry, soft cloth ONLY. We do not recommend the use of any jewellery polishing cloths which have been treated with cleaners or polishing agents.

You should keep all jewellery in an enclosed space - for example in a pouch or polythene bag inside a jewellery box.

Jewellery with stones other than diamonds may need other care, please check our comprehensive care guides on the left hand side of the page.
