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)
❌ Harsh chemicals like bleach
❌ Hard toothbrushes (scratches gold)
