How to Care for Your Diamond Jewellery
Diamond is the hardest natural material known, and 14K gold is chosen for its strength. With a few simple habits, your jewellery will stay beautiful for decades.
Clean it gently and often
Everyday oils, lotion and soap leave a film that dulls sparkle. Soak your piece for a few minutes in warm water with a drop of mild soap, brush gently with a soft toothbrush, rinse and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
Take it off for
- Swimming, especially in chlorinated or salt water
- The gym, gardening and heavy cleaning
- Applying lotion, sunscreen, perfume or hairspray
Store pieces separately
Diamonds can scratch other diamonds and gold. Keep each piece in its own pouch or compartment, and fasten chains so they do not tangle.
Check settings now and then
Every few months, look closely at prongs and clasps. If a stone feels loose or a prong looks lifted, stop wearing the piece and contact us before having it repaired or resized elsewhere.
What not to use
Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, abrasive powders and toothpaste, which can damage gold and settings.
