Jewellery Care and Maintenance Guide

How to care for your jewellery

Proper care can help maintain the appearance and longevity of your jewellery. Following a few simple precautions will help protect your jewellery from unnecessary wear and damage.

Here are some helpful tips to keep your jewellery looking its best:

•     Avoid wearing jewellery while carrying out manual or heavy work.

•     Store jewellery safely when it is not being worn, ideally in its original box or a soft fabric pouch.

•     Keep jewellery away from chemicals and corrosive substances such as chlorine or bleach.

•     Clean jewellery periodically using mild soap, warm water and a soft-bristled brush.

Regular care helps preserve the shine and condition of your jewellery over time.

Professional jewellery cleaning

Even with regular care at home, jewellery can benefit from professional cleaning.

Having your jewellery professionally cleaned approximately once a year can help maintain its appearance and ensure it continues to look its best.

Jewellery care products

There are a variety of jewellery cleaning products available that can help keep jewellery clean and polished.

Specialist jewellery care products, such as those found in the Connoisseurs jewellery care range, can be useful for maintaining jewellery between professional cleanings.

Jewellery insurance

Jewellery insurance is an important consideration for valuable pieces. Insuring your jewellery can provide protection against loss, theft or accidental damage, giving you additional peace of mind.

Specialist jewellery insurance providers are available and we recommend T.H March Ltd, although many people choose to include jewellery cover within their home insurance policy, which can often be the most convenient and cost-effective option.
