Jewellery is more than an accessory—it is an expression of style, emotion, and cherished memories. To ensure your pieces continue to shine as beautifully as the day you received them, regular and gentle cleaning is essential. Whether it’s daily wear or an occasional statement piece, proper maintenance helps preserve brilliance and longevity.
Below is a professional and easy-to-follow guide for cleaning your Jewellery at home using safe, effective methods.
🔹 General Cleaning Method (Suitable for Most Jewellery)
What You’ll Need:
- A soft bristle brush
- Mild liquid soap (preferably unscented)
- Lukewarm water
- A microfiber or lint-free cloth
- A small bowl
Cleaning Steps:
- Prepare a Gentle Cleaning Solution
Mix a few drops of mild soap with lukewarm water in a bowl. - Soak the Jewellery
Place your jewelry in the solution for 2 to 5 minutes to loosen accumulated dirt and oils. - Gently Clean with a Soft Brush
Use a soft bristle brush to gently clean all surfaces, especially crevices and settings. Be careful not to apply excessive pressure, particularly on delicate stones. - Rinse Thoroughly
Rinse each piece under clean, lukewarm water. Ensure the sink is securely covered to avoid accidental loss. - Dry and Polish
Gently pat dry with a microfiber cloth and allow the Jewellery to air dry completely. Lightly polish to restore its natural luster.
