Jewelry Care 101: Keep the Sparkle, Protect the Value

Simple habits to help your fine jewelry shine for generations.

Fine jewelry may be crafted from precious metals and gemstones, but it still needs care to maintain its brilliance for generations. Small habits can make all the difference.

Avoiding Damage

• Remove jewelry during activities that could scratch, bend, or chip it.
• Store pieces away from moisture and sunlight.
• Keep items separated—especially diamonds—to prevent scratching softer stones.

Cleaning & Maintenance

• Clean gently at home with mild dish soap and warm water to remove dirt and oils.
• Unsure about cleaning a stone? Leave it to the professionals—some require special care.
• Schedule a professional inspection every 6–12 months. Jewelers can spot issues early and refresh the sparkle.

With consistent care, your jewelry will retain both its beauty and its value for years to come.
