Daily Jewelry Care Tips

A little care goes a long way in keeping your jewelry radiant.

  1. Put your jewelry on after makeup, perfume, and lotion let it be the final touch.
  2. Take it off before bedtime to prevent any damage.
  3. Avoid wearing jewelry while swimming or exercising, as sweat and chlorine can dull the sparkle.
  4. Keep jewelry away from harsh chemicals—they can fade its shine and loosen its setting over time.
  5. Always remove jewellery before taking a shower. Soap can cause a layer of build-up which can make jewellery appear very dull over time.

How to Clean Your Jewelry Properly

With the right touch and proper cleaning, your jewelry shines like the day you got it.

  1. Use a soft cloth to gently clean any tarnish or discoloration. This method is safe for most jewelry pieces and helps maintain their shine without causing damage.
  2. To use a cleaning kit, spray a gentle jewelry cleaner onto your piece and use a tiny brush to reach the tiny crevices. Gently scrub in a circular motion to remove any dirt buildup.
  3. Simply combine a small amount of washing up liquid with warm water and soak for around 15 to 30 minutes. Use a very soft toothbrush to clean the prongs and gemstones.
  4. Let your piece breathe. Dry it up completely before storing it in a clean and dry place.

Care by Material

Diamond Care

Diamonds are known to be one of the toughest materials on earth, although this is true it is still essential to take care of them in order for them to maintain their lustre and appeal. It is important to note that diamonds can attract dirt, which in turn will build up over time, so it is a good idea to give them a regular clean.

• Always remove jewellery before taking a shower: Soap can cause a layer of build-up which can make jewellery, and particularly diamonds, appear very dull over time.

• Remove diamond jewellery when applying lotions: Lotions can build up a residue on your jewellery, making it appear lacklustre. Avoid applying makeup or hairspray whilst wearing your jewellery.

• Use a soft toothbrush to clean: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and warm water to gently scrub off any dirt, focusing on the prongs and the stone itself.

• Avoid using ultrasonic cleaners: Vibrations can cause diamonds to move around or loosen in their setting, which could result in the diamond being lost.

Gold Care

If you are planning on wearing your jewellery every day it is inevitable that it will come in contact with dirt and possibly incur a few scrapes. Here are a few tips on how to look after gold to ensure it remains in pristine condition.

• Remove jewellery before swimming: Chlorine can cause gold to become tarnished or even permanently damaged.

• Never use toothpaste: Toothpaste is an abrasive substance and can cause substantial damage, particularly to softer gold in higher carats.

• Remove before using cleaning products: Chemicals found in cleaning products can cause discolouration or damage to your gold jewellery.

• Store gold jewellery correctly: Store each piece separately in its original box or wrapped in a soft cloth to avoid scratches.

Fine Jewellery Care Guide for Diamond, Gold & Gemstone Jewellery

Proper jewellery care helps preserve the brilliance, finish, and longevity of your fine jewellery for years to come. At Veda Diamonds, every piece is crafted using premium natural diamonds, precious gemstones, and high-quality gold, making regular jewellery maintenance essential for protecting your investment. Whether you wear diamond rings daily, layer gold necklaces, or own statement gemstone jewellery, following the right jewellery care routine helps maintain shine, structure, and overall beauty. Daily diamond jewellery care starts with avoiding direct exposure to perfume, hairspray, makeup, lotions, chlorine, and harsh cleaning chemicals. These substances can create buildup on diamonds and precious metals, reducing sparkle and weakening settings over time. To maintain brilliance, always wear your fine jewellery after applying beauty products and remove jewellery before swimming, showering, exercising, or sleeping. This helps prevent scratches, tangling, and unnecessary wear. Understanding how to clean diamond jewellery at home is important for preserving clarity and shine. A gentle cleaning solution made with warm water and mild soap can safely remove dirt and oil buildup from diamond rings, tennis bracelets, gold earrings, and gemstone necklaces. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to carefully clean around the prongs and stone settings without damaging delicate surfaces. After cleaning, dry jewellery completely using a lint-free soft cloth before storing it away. Regular cleaning helps restore the brilliance of natural diamonds and keeps gold jewellery looking polished and luxurious. Proper jewellery storage is equally important. Store diamond jewellery separately in soft pouches or lined jewellery boxes to avoid scratches and metal friction. Necklaces should be clasped and laid flat to prevent tangling, while anti-tarnish strips and silica gel packs help control humidity and reduce oxidation. Luxury jewellery storage solutions also help preserve gemstone colour, gold finish, and diamond clarity over time. Gold jewellery care requires extra attention because high-carat gold can be softer and more prone to scratches. Avoid abrasive materials like toothpaste or rough cleaning cloths when cleaning gold jewellery. For long-term durability, store each piece individually and remove gold rings, bracelets, and necklaces before household cleaning or gym activities. Whether you own everyday diamond jewellery, bridal jewellery, statement gemstone necklaces, or luxury gold jewellery, proper maintenance ensures your pieces retain their beauty and value.
