Scroll down for some tips on taking care of your new Necklace.
The Diamonds and the Gold each have their own needs. Use these tips only as a guideline
Caring for your Diamond Jewelry
Even though diamonds are the hardest substance known to man, a diamond will scratch another diamond. So it is important that jewelry not be stored together since it can be scratched or tangled. Also, diamond jewelry should never be worn while doing heavy work. Points are vulnerable to chipping and even everyday activity can loosen a setting. This is why it’s important to visit a professional jeweler every six months to have your diamond’s mountings and settings checked
Professional Cleaning
This is the best option. It’s also important to have your jewelry checked occasionally to make sure prongs haven’t bent or weakened.
Mild Liquid Detergent
Soak your jewelry in a small bowl warm, sudsy water made with any mild liquid detergent. Gently brush the diamond jewelry with a soft toothbrush while it is in the suds. Then, rinse each piece under warm running water. Pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Make sure to always stopper your sink.
Household Ammonia
Place the jewelry in a small bowl containing a half-and-half solution of ammonia and cold water for thirty minutes. Lift out and gently tap around the front and back of the mounting with a small soft brush. Swish in the solution a second time, rinse and drain on tissue paper.
Jewelry Cleaners
Use any brand name liquid jewelry cleaner and follow the instruction given on the label.
Vodka on the Rocks
No one is sure how it was actually discovered, but it is safe to say that at some point someone took the idea of a "vodka on the rocks" literally and discovered an imaginative way to clean their precious diamonds. Simply let the diamond soak in a glass of vodka. Preferably one you do not intend to drink afterwards.
Caring for Your Gold Jewelry
Here
are 4 simple rules that will keep your gold jewelry looking new. It is
a very durable metal but its luster can fade with time, but with proper
care, yours can last a lifetime.
Rule #1- Don't wear your golden jewelry twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week
While
many of us love to wear our favorite pieces day and night, the most
effective way to preserve them is to limit the exposure to daily
elements. Many personal care products can be harmful to your piece.
This includes lotion, make-up, perfume, shaving cream, and hairspray.
These daily elements can form a dull film that covers the gold and is
hard to remove. You can easily prevent this by removing them before
grooming. Rule
#2- Avoid chlorine bleach at all costs
Never
clean them with any chlorine bleach substance. Chlorine bleach ruins it
by oxidizing the metal and turning it black. Remove them before you do
any household chores. Some common household cleaners have bleach and
other chemicals that may adversely affect them. Do not go swimming or
in a hot tub with your golden accessory. Because of the chlorine,
prolonged exposure to a swimming pool can turn it into a black color.
Rule # 3 Clean your piece properly
Light
tarnish can be removed by using soap water and a soft bristle brush.
After gentle scrubbing, rinse and dry with a cotton cloth. You can also
use a specially treated cloth or other cleaning products. For gold
jewelry without colored gemstones, you can use an ultrasonic cleaning
machine. For heavy tarnish, please consult your jeweler for the best
cleaning method.
Rule #4- Proper storage is a must
Dry
your gold jewelry before storage. Moisture can weaken springs and
clasps, which increases the likelihood of breakage. Provide ample space
for storage. They should not be in direct contact with other pieces
because they can scratch each other. Most boxes have separate
compartments so that you can keep them separate.
