Jewellery Care Guide | Premsons Jewellers

At Premsons Jewellers, we understand that your jewellery is more than just an accessory—it's a symbol of love, success, and cherished memories. To ensure that your precious pieces continue to shine for years to come, proper care is essential. This guide offers expert tips on how to clean, store, and maintain your jewellery, helping you protect your investment and keep it looking as beautiful as the day you first bought it.

Why Jewellery Care Matters  
Jewellery is an investment—both sentimental and financial. Proper care can not only preserve the aesthetic beauty of your pieces but also increase their longevity. Whether you're caring for diamonds, gold, silver, pearls, or gemstones, these tips will help you maintain the brilliance of your collection.

How to Care for Your Jewellery: Essential Tips  
1. Keep Your Jewellery Clean and Shiny
Regular cleaning is key to maintaining the sparkle of your jewellery. Dust, oils, and grime from daily wear can dull its shine, but with the right cleaning routine, you can keep it looking as brilliant as ever.

Cleaning Tips:

For Gold Jewellery: Clean with warm water and mild soap. Use a soft brush (like a toothbrush) to gently scrub away dirt, then rinse and dry with a microfiber cloth.
For Silver Jewellery: Silver tends to tarnish over time. Use a silver polishing cloth or a mixture of baking soda and water to gently clean your pieces.
For Diamond Jewellery: Diamonds are durable but need regular care. Clean them with warm water and a mild soap solution. You can also use a jewellery-specific cleaner designed for diamonds.
2. Store Your Jewellery Safely
Proper storage is essential to avoid scratches, tangles, and tarnishing. When not in use, take extra steps to protect your jewellery.

Storage Tips:

Separate Pieces: Store your jewellery in separate compartments to avoid scratching or tangling. A jewellery box with padded dividers or soft cloth pouches is ideal.
Avoid Humidity: Keep your jewellery in a dry place to prevent tarnishing or damage from humidity. Consider using anti-tarnish strips or pouches for sterling silver.
Secure Settings: Regularly inspect stones and settings for any loosening or wear. If you notice any issues, have them professionally checked and tightened.
3. Avoid Chemicals and Harsh Environments
Exposure to chemicals can cause irreparable damage to metals, stones, and coatings. Keep your jewellery safe from harmful substances.

Chemical-Free Tips:

Remove Before Chemicals: Always remove your jewellery before using household cleaning products, perfumes, lotions, or hairsprays. These chemicals can tarnish metals and erode gemstones.
No Swimming: Remove your jewellery before swimming in chlorinated pools or seawater. Chlorine and saltwater can damage many types of jewellery.
Exercise Caution in the Kitchen: Cooking, especially with hot oils or acidic foods, can affect the finish of your jewellery. Remove pieces before preparing food.
4. Remove Jewellery Before Physical Activity
Jewellery can be vulnerable to impact, scratches, and other damage during physical activities. To prevent harm to your treasured pieces, take them off when participating in any strenuous activity.

Exercise and Activity Tips:

Gym Workouts: Remove rings, bracelets, and necklaces before exercising, especially during weightlifting or other activities that may cause them to get scratched or bent.
Sports and Hobbies: Keep jewellery off when playing sports or engaging in activities like gardening or DIY projects to avoid accidental damage.
Sleep and Shower: Avoid wearing jewellery while sleeping or showering to prevent unnecessary wear and tear.

Even with regular at-home care, your jewellery will benefit from periodic professional maintenance. Premsons Jewellers offers expert cleaning, polishing, and repair services to ensure your jewellery stays in perfect condition.

Care for Different Types of Jewellery
Each type of jewellery—whether it's made of gold, silver, platinum, diamonds, or pearls—requires unique care. Here are some guidelines for each:

Gold Jewellery Care  
Gold is a soft metal, which means it can get scratched more easily than others. However, it’s also resistant to tarnishing, making it relatively easy to care for.

Regularly polish with a soft cloth to maintain its shine.
Avoid harsh abrasives and store gold jewellery separately to prevent scratches.
Silver Jewellery Care
Silver jewellery is prone to tarnishing due to exposure to air and moisture. To keep it gleaming:

Use a silver polishing cloth to remove tarnish and restore shine.
Keep silver pieces in anti-tarnish bags or cloths to minimize exposure to air.
Diamond Jewellery Care
Diamonds are the hardest natural material on Earth but require care to keep them sparkling:

Clean regularly with a soft brush and soapy water.
Have settings inspected to ensure that diamonds remain securely in place.
Pearl & Gemstone Care
Pearls and other gemstones are more delicate and require gentle care:

Wipe pearls with a soft cloth after each wear to remove oils and residue.
Store pearls separately to avoid scratches from other jewellery.

How often should I clean my jewellery?  
We recommend cleaning your jewellery every 3 to 6 months or more often if worn daily. If you notice that your jewellery has lost its shine or feels sticky, it’s time for a clean.

Can I wear my jewellery every day?  
Many jewellery pieces are designed for daily wear, but always remove them when engaging in activities like exercising, cleaning, or swimming to avoid damage.

What should I do if my jewellery gets damaged?  
If you notice any damage, such as loose stones or broken chains, it’s best to have your jewellery professionally repaired at Premsons Jewellers.
