How To Clean Your Jewellery
Four generations of expertise. Keep your pieces sparkling.
Why Clean Jewellery Matters
Most jewellery dulls from everyday build-up ; soap residue, lotion, oils. It's not damage. It's just dirt. And it's easily fixed.
Quick At-Home Cleaning (5 Minutes)
What you need: Warm water, mild dish soap, soft toothbrush, lint-free cloth.
Step 1: Soak - Add 2-3 drops of soap to warm water. Soak for 5-10 minutes.
Step 2: Brush - Gently brush around the diamond and underneath where build-up hides.
Step 3: Rinse - Hold under running warm water until all soap is gone.
Step 4: Dry - Pat (don't rub) with a microfiber cloth.
Done! Your jewellery should sparkle like new.

❌ Hot water (damages gemstones)
