Jewellery is more than adornment—it carries memories, milestones, and emotions. Whether it’s your bridal set, a cherished mangalsutra, or a timeless diamond ring, proper care ensures each piece stays as radiant as ever. Here’s your complete, easy-to-follow guide to keeping your gold and diamond jewellery sparkling for years.
1. Store Every Piece the Right Way
Jewellery often loses its shine due to improper storage.
Keep each piece in a soft, fabric-lined box or individual pouch to avoid scratches. Gold is soft and can get dented easily, while diamonds, being the hardest gemstones, can scratch other jewellery pieces. Storing them separately protects their brilliance.
2. Keep Your Jewellery Away From Chemicals
Perfumes, lotions, hairsprays, and even household cleaners can dull your gold and diamonds. Always wear jewellery after applying cosmetics, and avoid exposing it to harsh products. This simple habit goes a long way in preserving shine.
3. Clean Your Jewellery Regularly (The Safe Way)
Clean your gold and diamonds at home using a gentle method:
- Use lukewarm water
- Add a few drops of mild soap
- Soak for 10–15 minutes
- Gently scrub with a soft brush
- Rinse and pat dry with a lint-free cloth
Avoid using toothpaste or harsh scrubs—they may cause scratches.
4. Don’t Wear Jewellery During Household Tasks
Washing dishes, cooking, gardening, or even working out can expose jewellery to sweat, chemicals, and rough surfaces.
Remove your rings, bangles, and chains to prevent damage and protect delicate settings.
5. Get Regular Professional Polishing
Even with careful use, jewellery naturally collects dirt or tiny scratches over time. A professional cleaning and polishing session every 6–12 months helps restore its original lustre.
PVJ’s craftsmen are trained to treat your jewellery with utmost care—reviving shine without compromising the design.
6. Inspect Your Diamonds & Settings
Prongs holding diamonds can loosen with regular wear. Check your jewellery periodically for loose stones, uneven clasps, or bent prongs. Early detection prevents bigger, costlier repairs.
7. Avoid Extreme Temperatures
Sudden temperature changes can impact delicate stones and weaken settings. Avoid wearing fine jewellery in saunas, steam rooms, or while cooking over high heat.
8. Know When to Say No
There are times when jewellery shouldn’t be worn—like swimming in chlorinated pools or saltwater. Chemical reactions can fade gold polish and loosen diamonds over time.
9. Keep a Jewellery Log
For your larger collections, maintain a small log noting purchase dates, weights, and care sessions. It helps with maintenance planning and makes insurance claims easier, if ever needed.
10. Trust Experts for Reconditioning
Over the years, your jewellery may need re-plating, deep cleaning, resizing, or stone tightening. Trusting trained professionals ensures the longevity and integrity of your precious pieces.
At PVJ, each restoration is handled with the same precision with which your jewellery was crafted.
A Little Care Goes a Long Way
Your jewellery is a reflection of your story—every sparkle, a memory. With the right care, your gold and diamonds will continue to shine just as brightly through every celebration, tradition, and milestone.
