We recognize that fine jewelry is more than just an accessory; it represents cherished memories, significant milestones, and valuable investments. To ensure your treasured pieces remain as dazzling as the day you acquired them, regular jewelry cleaning and maintenance are essential.
Our team of skilled artisans provides comprehensive professional jewelry cleaning and maintenance services, combining cutting-edge technology with meticulous craftsmanship. Whether it's a vintage heirloom or a contemporary masterpiece, we ensure your jewelry receives the utmost care and protection against wear and tear.
Why Jewelry Maintenance Is Essential
Over time, exposure to everyday elements such as lotions, perfumes, dust, and dirt can dull the brilliance of your jewelry. Proper maintenance not only preserves the aesthetic appeal of your pieces but also ensures their structural integrity. Neglecting routine care may lead to loose settings, weakened clasps, and diminished gemstone brilliance.

Tips for Caring and Maintaining Your Luxury Jewelry
While professional cleaning is essential, incorporating the following best practices at home can extend the longevity of your jewelry:
1. Regular Cleaning
Mix mild, detergent-free dish soap with warm water
Soak your jewelry for 15-20 minutes.
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to remove dirt and residue.
Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
Avoid ultrasonic cleaners for delicate gemstones such as opals, pearls, and emeralds.
For more delicate pieces, trust a professional jeweler to handle the cleaning safely.
2. Proper Storage
Store jewelry in a soft pouch or a lined jewelry box to prevent scratches and tangling.
Keep pieces separated to avoid damage.
Be mindful of specific gemstones like pearls and opals, which require moisture to maintain their natural beauty.
3. Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Remove jewelry before using cleaning agents, swimming in chlorinated pools, or applying lotions and perfumes.
Chemical exposure can tarnish metals and da
mage gemstones.
Always put jewelry on after applying beauty products.
4. Routine Inspections
Check clasps, prongs, and settings regularly to ensure stones remain secure.
Look for signs of wear, such as loose settings or bent prongs.
If you notice any damage, visit a trusted jeweler immediately.
5. Professional Maintenance
Schedule annual inspections and cleanings with a professional jeweler.
Choose a jeweler with professional training and a strong reputation.
