Jewelry Care Guide: How to Maintain Diamonds, Gemstones & Metal

Keeping your jewelry radiant for years comes down to three habits: avoid impact, avoid chemicals, and clean gently. Below is a practical guide for diamonds, colored gemstones, and precious metals.

【Diamond】

• Store properly: Even with great hardness, diamonds can be scratched or chipped by hard impacts. Store each piece in a fabric-lined jewelry case with a separate compartment, and wrap individually in a soft fabric or pouch.

• Avoid daily hard activities: Do not wear diamond jewelry when doing housework, lifting heavy objects, sports, or sleeping. A sudden knock can loosen prongs or damage the setting—leading to stone loss.

• Professional inspection: Have a professional check your setting at least once a year (or more often if you wear it frequently) for loose prongs and mounting wear.

• Put it on last: Diamonds can attract grease and dirt (they’re lipophilic). Wear your diamond jewelry after makeup, hair products, perfume, and dressing—so your stones stay clean longer.

• Clean regularly: Clean by soaking in lukewarm water with a few drops of pH-neutral soap. Gently remove visible residue with a soft, clean toothbrush, then rinse thoroughly and dry with a lint-free cloth.

• Extra care for invisible/micro settings: These designs are more sensitive to collision and abrasion. Consider more frequent professional checks and avoid knocks.

【Color Gemstones】

• Avoid impact: Don’t wear colored gemstone jewelry during housework, heavy lifting, sports, or sleeping. Even if the stone is durable, a hard hit can damage prongs or settings and loosen stones.

• Regular professional check: We recommend a professional inspection at least once a month for loose prongs and setting wear—especially for rings and bracelets worn daily.

• Put on last: Many colored gemstones attract grease and dirt, especially after skincare, makeup, and hair spray. Wear gemstone jewelry after your beauty routine.

• Gentle cleaning: Soak in pH-neutral mild soap water, brush gently with a soft toothbrush, rinse well, and dry with a lint-free cloth.

Tip: If you’re unsure about a stone’s sensitivity, test gently or ask a jeweler before deep cleaning.

【Precious Metals】

• Store to prevent scratches: Store each piece in a fabric-lined jewelry box with separate compartments, and wrap individually (or use a soft pouch).

• Avoid when active: Remove metal jewelry before housework, heavy lifting, or sports to reduce dents, bending, and surface damage.

• Put on last: To reduce residue buildup, put your jewelry on after makeup, perfume, and dressing.

• After sweating, rinse & dry: Perspiration and daily residue can dull shine. After an active day, rinse with water and wipe dry carefully with a soft, lint-free cloth.

• Be gentle with delicate designs: Avoid pulling, folding, or twisting jewelry. Remove before showering, swimming, or sleeping—especially for rings, intricate settings, and delicate chains.
