Your platinum, gold or sterling siver jewelry will last a lifetime, of course, with proper care. You should avoid exposing them to chlorine and other household chemicals, and be sure that you remove your jewelry before housecleaning or gardening. To help avoid scratches to your metal jewelry store them in a soft cloth pouch, and you’ll be sure their luster and shine will last long, a lifetime.

Gold jewelry care

Yellow gold does not require special polish, so a soft jewelry cloth can remove dirt and bring back the luster and beautiful shine. In the Riverwalk at New Orleans, a lady called my attention saying she’s going to clean my rings. I know, they would charge me, or if not, of course would sell something I might not like a hundred per cent. But hubby could not resist it, so I let her clean my rings which have never been cleaned. And indeed, after cleaning it with, (what else but their solution, or did it help at all?) and wiping with a ‘special cloth’, my rings instantly look like new with its very beautiful color and shine. He ended up buying the cloth and solution, which were it me, I would never buy. We don’t have to spend a penny for bringing back the luster of our gold jewelry, but regular wiping and cleaning it soft cloth will do.

To enhance the whiteness of the white gold, it often plated with rhodium, a shiny, white and extremely hard metal. Over time and depending the amount of wear to your white gold jewelry, this rhodium may wear off, thus revealing the original and true color of the gold metal. Just replate it to restore the whiteness of your jewelry.

Timepieces are supposed to last for a long time, but if you don’t take proper care for the watch it won’t last. To maximize the lifespan of your watch, just follow the specific instructions provided in the accompanying owner’s manual. To clean your watch, wipe it with soft cloth. Unless your watch is specifically designed for diving, avoid exposing a leather or fabric watch band or any watch case to water. Hot or even warm water can cause air in the case to expand therefore allowing water to penetrate the case. Avoid exposing your quarts to magnets as this can affect its time-keeping abilities.

Diamond care

They say that ‘diamond is forever’ for a diamond is one of the hardest substances on earth. But a hard blow can still be damaging, that is why we should treat our diamond jewelry gently. We don’t have to wear it always. We should remove the diamond jewelry when working with household chemicals like cleansers or hairspray, and activities like gardening or doing dishes. We must also check regularly to be sure that the prongs are securely holding the diamond in place.

To clean your diamond jewelry, soak in a solution of one part ammonia and six parts water. Using a soft brush we can loosen dirt, then rinse well to renew the brilliance.

If your diamond jewelry is accompanied by an appraisal, an insurance provider can use it to insure the jewelry against loss and theft.
