The Importance of Jewellery Maintenance
| Care & Advice
Keep the pieces you love looking their best
Jewellery carries both financial value and deep sentiment—heirlooms, engagement rings, gifts that mark milestones. Regular maintenance keeps metals bright, stones secure and settings safe so your pieces can be worn with confidence every day.
- Routine cleaning restores sparkle and removes residue
- Setting checks catch worn claws before stones are lost
- Polishing & refinishing revive tired surfaces and remove fine wear
Why maintenance matters
Little problems become big ones if ignored—routine checks save money and heartache.
Prevent costly repairs
Thin claws and loose seats lead to lost stones. Early re-tipping and tightening are quick and affordable.
Protect sentimental value
Heirlooms and engagement rings endure daily knocks—professional care preserves what matters.
Keep pieces camera-ready
Oils, lotions and daily grime mute brilliance. Professional cleaning restores true sparkle.
Extend lifespan
Polishing, rhodium re-plating and solder checks reduce wear and prolong structural integrity.
Your engagement ring’s daily life
Cooking, cleaning, gym sessions and office work expose rings to impact, heat, chemicals and abrasion. Home remedies help, but a jeweller’s ultrasonic/steam clean and a quick settings check do far more to keep stones safe and brilliant.
Pro tip: remove rings for heavy chores, apply lotions before wearing, and book a quick six-monthly check.

Maintenance FAQs
