Diamonds and fine jewellery are designed to last, but regular care is essential to keep them looking their best. Whether it’s an everyday piece or something reserved for special occasions, a few simple steps can help maintain their shine and condition over time.
This guide covers how to care for your Diamond jewellery and other fine pieces, from cleaning to storage and everyday wear.
Everyday Care Tips
Looking after your jewellery day-to-day can make a big difference.
- Remove jewellery before cleaning, exercising or swimming
- Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions and hairspray
- Put jewellery on last when getting ready
- Take off rings when doing hands-on tasks
For quick, on-the-go care, jewellery wipes can be a simple way to keep pieces looking fresh between deeper cleans.

How to Clean Diamond Jewellery at Home
Diamonds are durable, but they can still collect dirt and oils that reduce their sparkle.
To clean at home:
- Soak your jewellery in warm water with mild soap
- Gently brush with a soft toothbrush
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water
- Pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth
For a more thorough clean, you can use specialist products designed for fine jewellery, such as cleansing foams or liquid cleaners, which help lift dirt from hard-to-reach areas.

Quick Touch-Ups Between Cleans
Sometimes your jewellery just needs a quick refresh rather than a full clean.
Portable solutions like cleaning sticks are ideal for restoring shine to diamond rings, especially when you’re out and about or travelling. A polishing cloth is also useful for gently removing fingerprints and restoring shine to metal surfaces.

Caring for Different Types of Jewellery
Not all jewellery should be treated the same way.
- Gold jewellery: Clean gently and avoid abrasive materials
- Silver jewellery: Use a polishing cloth regularly to reduce tarnishing
- Pearl jewellery: Wipe after wear and avoid water exposure
Using the right cleaning method for each material helps maintain both appearance and longevity.
Safe Storage Matters
How you store your jewellery is just as important as how you wear it.
- Keep pieces in a soft-lined jewellery box
- Store items separately to avoid scratching
- Use pouches or compartments for delicate pieces
- Keep jewellery away from direct sunlight and moisture
Proper storage helps maintain both appearance and structure over time.
Professional Cleaning & Maintenance
Even with regular care at home, professional cleaning is recommended.
Having your jewellery checked by a jeweller can help:
- Restore shine with professional cleaning
- Check settings and clasps
- Prevent potential damage or stone loss
It’s a simple way to keep your jewellery looking its best for years to come.
