Jewellery Care

Over time as you wear your fine jewellery it can become a treasured family jewel if it’s cared for properly. Daily wear and environmental elements cloud the brilliance of gemstones. Gold, platinum and silver jewellery can become dull and worn out. Prongs that are loosened from ordinary wear can result in the loss of a stone.

Precautions should be taken for all jewellery. Certain gemstones should be cared for differently and with special care. Protect your jewellery from damage against hard surfaces and avoid abrasive surfaces. A diamond can chip if hit with enough force and at just the right angle. Many stones such as amethyst, emerald, kunzite, opal, pearl, are very delicate and easily damaged. Gemstones can damage other gemstones and wear away at precious metals. Therefore, avoid stacking those rings and bracelets that would be vulnerable to such abrasion.

Professional cleanings are recommended at least once a year. We encourage you to bring your jewellery back for professional servicing from our knowledgable staff of goldsmiths and setters. Our 34 years of experience in all aspects of jewellery care, including cleaning gemstones, restringing pearls and repairing fine jewellery makes it a valuable advantage when choosing the right jewellery store for your fine jewellery needs.
