Your Jewellery Deserves the Best Care
Fine jewellery is an investment — and with the right care, your pieces can last for generations. At Corelune Jewellery, we want your jewellery to look as beautiful in twenty years as it does the day you buy it. Here are our expert care tips.
General Jewellery Care Rules
- Always put jewellery on last — after applying perfume, hairspray, and makeup.
- Remove jewellery before swimming, showering, exercising, and sleeping.
- Keep jewellery away from household chemicals, bleach, and chlorine.
- Have your fine jewellery professionally checked and cleaned once a year.
Caring for Gold Jewellery
Clean gold jewellery with a solution of warm water and a few drops of mild washing-up liquid. Gently scrub with a soft toothbrush, rinse thoroughly, and dry with a soft lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners and ultrasonic cleaners for pieces with fragile settings.
Caring for Diamond Jewellery
Diamonds attract grease and oils, which can dull their sparkle. Regular cleaning is essential. Soak in warm soapy water for 20–30 minutes, then gently scrub with a soft brush, paying attention to the underside of the stone where oils collect. Dry with a lint-free cloth.
Caring for Gemstone Jewellery
Different gemstones require different care. As a rule, harder stones like sapphires, rubies, and emeralds are more durable, while softer stones like opals, pearls, and turquoise require much gentler handling. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners for any gemstones in delicate settings, and never soak pearls in water.
Storing Your Jewellery
Store each piece of jewellery separately to avoid scratching. A fabric-lined jewellery box with individual compartments is ideal. Keep silver pieces in anti-tarnish bags. Store jewellery away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, which can fade certain gemstones.
When to Visit a Professional
Take your jewellery to a professional jeweller annually for inspection and cleaning. A jeweller can check for loose settings, worn prongs, and any damage that might not be visible to the naked eye — preventing the loss of precious stones before it happens.
At Corelune Jewellery, we offer professional cleaning and maintenance services. Bring your pieces in and we will have them looking like new.
