At The Gold Shop, we understand that your jewelry and timepieces are more than just accessories – they are cherished possessions that symbolize special moments and personal style. To ensure their longevity and preserve their beauty, proper care is essential. Our expert tips will help you maintain the luster and shine of your favorite pieces for years to come.

Regular Cleaning
Clean your jewellery regularly to remove dirt, oils, and residues that dull its shine. A simple solution of mild soap and warm water can restore its lustre and prevent tarnishing or damage. Use a soft brush or cloth, then dry with a lint-free towel. Regular cleaning also helps detect loose stones or other issues that need attention.

Professional Care
Have your jewellery professionally cleaned and inspected at least once a year. Experts can address hidden issues and polish pieces to restore their brilliance. Regular checks for loose stones or damaged prongs can prevent costly repairs.

Storage Tips

• Store jewellery in soft pouches or compartments to avoid scratches and tangling.
• Keep jewellery out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, and store in a cool, dry place to avoid moisture-related damage.
• Use a jewellery box with anti-tarnish lining for extra protection.
• Store delicate items like pearls in breathable pouches, and avoid mixing metals to prevent tarnishing.
• Remove jewellery before sleeping, showering, or exercising to prevent wear.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Remove jewellery before coming into contact with cleaning agents, perfumes, or hairsprays, as these can damage metals and gemstones.

Exercise Care
Take off jewellery before physical activities to prevent damage or injury from equipment and sweat.

Specific Care for Gemstones and Metals
Each material requires special care:

• For diamonds and hard gemstones, clean with a mild soap solution and a soft brush.
• Pearls need wiping with a damp cloth and storage in breathable pouches.
• Gold and platinum can be cleaned with mild soap, while silver requires regular polishing to prevent tarnishing.
• Research specific care for coloured gemstones like sapphires and rubies, as their durability varies.

Conclusion
By following these simple tips, you can maintain the beauty and sentimental value of your jewellery for years to come.

Watch Care Tips

• Water Resistance: Be aware of your watch's water resistance level. Avoid wearing it in conditions beyond its specifications to prevent damage.
