The Ultimate Guide to Jewellery Cleaning & Care

The Ultimate Guide to Jewellery Cleaning & Care

Jewellery holds sentimental and financial value, making it essential to keep your treasured pieces in pristine condition. Regular cleaning and maintenance not only enhance the brilliance of your jewellery but also help prevent potential damage. At Robert Cliff Master Jewellers, we take pride in offering Complimentary Lifelong Cleaning and Claw Inspections, ensuring your jewellery remains as radiant as the day you purchased it.

Why Regular Jewellery Cleaning is Essential

Daily wear exposes jewellery to dirt, oils, lotions, and environmental pollutants that can dull its sparkle. Certain gemstones and metals are more prone to tarnishing, requiring special care to maintain their lustre. Regular cleaning helps to:

  • Restore brilliance and shine

  • Remove built-up residue and debris

  • Prevent potential damage caused by weakened settings or loose stones

  • Extend the longevity of your cherished pieces

How to Clean Your Jewellery at Home

While professional cleaning is always recommended, there are gentle ways to care for your jewellery at home:

Gold & Platinum Jewellery

  • Soak in warm, soapy water using a mild dish detergent.

  • Use a soft toothbrush to gently clean hard-to-reach areas.

  • Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a soft lint-free cloth.

Diamond Jewellery

  • Diamonds attract oils, so regular cleaning helps maintain their brilliance.

  • Soak in a solution of warm water and mild soap, then gently scrub with a soft brush.

  • Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that may damage the setting.

Gemstone Jewellery

  • Different gemstones require different care methods. While sapphires and rubies can tolerate mild soap and water, softer stones like opals and emeralds need special care.

  • Wipe with a damp cloth and avoid prolonged exposure to water.

  • Store separately to prevent scratches.

Pearls & Delicate Jewellery

  • Wipe with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove oils and dirt.

  • Never soak pearls in water, as moisture can weaken the silk thread.

  • Store in a soft pouch to avoid scratches.

Professional Jewellery Cleaning & Maintenance

Over time, jewellery settings can loosen, increasing the risk of losing a precious stone. That’s why we offer Complimentary Lifelong Cleaning and Claw Inspections for every piece purchased through Robert Cliff Master Jewellers. Our expert jewellers meticulously examine each setting, ensuring your jewellery remains secure and flawless.

  • Remove jewellery before engaging in strenuous activities or household chores.

  • Avoid exposing jewellery to harsh chemicals, such as chlorine or cleaning agents.
