Jewellery Care Guide

Keep Your Jewellery as Brilliant as the Day You Bought It

At The Real Gem, every piece of jewellery is crafted to last a lifetime but proper care ensures it continues to shine for years to come. From everyday wear to safe cleaning practices, our care guide helps you protect the beauty and brilliance of your fine jewellery.

General Care

  • Avoid contact with chemicals such as perfume, hairspray, lotions, and cleaning agents. These can dull metal finishes and affect gemstone settings.

  • Remove your jewellery before showering, swimming, exercising, or sleeping to prevent wear and tear.

  • Put jewellery on last and take it off first. Apply makeup and fragrance before wearing to minimise exposure.

  • Store each piece separately in a soft-lined box or pouch to prevent scratching.

💡 Tip: A gentle wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth after wearing helps remove oils and restore shine.

Cleaning Your Jewellery

Different materials require different care. Here’s how to safely clean your jewellery at home:

Gold Jewellery

  • Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water.

  • Soak for 10–15 minutes, then gently brush with a soft-bristled toothbrush.

  • Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.

Diamond Jewellery

  • Diamonds attract oil easily. Soak in warm water with a few drops of ammonia-free detergent.

  • Brush gently under running water to remove residue.

  • Dry carefully and polish with a microfibre cloth for maximum brilliance.

Gemstone Jewellery (Sapphire, Ruby, Emerald, etc.)

  • Use lukewarm soapy water and a soft cloth.

  • Avoid ultrasonic cleaners as some gemstones (especially emeralds) can be damaged by vibrations or heat.

Storage & Safety

  • Store fine jewellery in a soft, dry environment, away from direct sunlight or humidity.

  • Use a jewellery box with separate compartments to prevent tangling or scratching.

  • Keep chains fastened and lay flat to avoid knots.

  • For travel, use a padded travel case or pouch for protection.

Even the finest jewellery benefits from regular professional care. We recommend having your pieces checked and cleaned annually by a jeweller.
