Gold and diamond jewellery is more than an accessory—it is a timeless investment. Whether it’s a pair of intricately crafted gold diamond earrings or a statement-making gold necklace, proper care ensures that your pieces retain their shine, structure, and brilliance for years.
Here is an easy, reliable guide to help you keep your gold and diamond earrings and necklaces looking flawless.
1. Clean Your Jewellery Regularly for Lasting Shine
For Diamond Earrings & Necklaces
Diamonds tend to accumulate oil and dust, which can dull their sparkle.
How to clean:
- Mix warm water with a gentle, non-abrasive soap.
- Soak the jewellery for 10–15 minutes.
- Use a soft toothbrush to clean around the diamonds and behind the setting.
- Rinse with clean water and gently pat dry.
For Gold Pieces
Gold is prone to losing its shine because of sweat, lotions, and environmental dust.
Care tip:
Use a mild soap solution and a microfiber cloth to restore the warmth and glow of your gold jewellery. Avoid abrasive scrubbing, which may scratch the metal.
2. Store Jewellery Properly to Prevent Scratches
Gold is a soft metal and can get scratched easily when stored with other pieces.
Best practices:
- Store earrings and necklaces in separate compartments.
- Use soft fabric pouches or velvet-lined boxes.
- Keep chains untangled by hanging them or storing them in individual slots.
Avoid storing gold pieces in humid places, which may cause tarnish over time.
3. Avoid Wearing Jewellery During Certain Activities
To preserve the shine and structural integrity of your gold and diamond pieces, remove them during:
- Exercise or sports
- Swimming (chlorine can damage gold alloys)
- Applying makeup, perfume, or hair spray
- Household chores involving chemicals
- Long showers or hot baths
These simple habits prevent chemical exposure, buildup, and unnecessary wear.
4. Regular Professional Cleaning & Inspection
Every few months, visit your jeweller to:
- Check for loose stones
- Inspect clasps and chains
- Assess prongs and settings
- Clean the jewellery using professional-grade tools
This ensures that your diamond settings remain secure and your gold pieces retain their original polish.
5. Protect Your Jewellery from Harsh Chemicals
Chemicals in lotions, perfumes, detergents, and even sweat can affect gold and diamond jewellery.
Tip:
Apply lotions and perfumes first, allow them to absorb, and wear your jewellery last.
6. Untangle Chains Carefully
Necklaces, especially fine gold chokers, can tangle easily. Pulling or tugging can cause breakage.
How to detangle:
- Use a small pin or needle.
- Work slowly and gently.
- Apply a tiny drop of baby oil to ease tight knots.
