Caring for your jewelry
Four habits keep a piece brilliant for decades: wear it last, store it alone, clean it gently, and have it inspected once a year.
Wearing
Jewelry goes on last and comes off first. Finish skincare, perfume, and hairspray before you dress, and remove your pieces before exercise, water, housework, and sleep.
Storing
A diamond will scratch anything it touches, including another diamond. Give each piece its own soft-lined pouch or its original box, somewhere cool, dry, and away from sunlight.
Cleaning at home
Warm water, a drop of mild dish soap, a twenty-minute soak, and a soft brush are all a diamond needs. Rinse over a closed drain, pat dry with a lint-free cloth, and let the piece air-dry before it returns to its pouch.
Never bleach, abrasives, ultrasonic machines, or very hot water.
Professional care
Once a year, have the piece professionally cleaned and its prongs and setting inspected. Metal wears slowly, and a loosening prong is hard to see until it fails. Any trusted jeweler can perform both.
