How to Clean & Care for Your Fine Jewelry at Home
Your Studio ALOI jewelry is more than just beautiful adornment—it tells your story, holds memories, and deserves gentle, thoughtful care. With simple, safe techniques, you can easily maintain its brilliance at home. Here’s how to protect and preserve your gold, diamonds, and gemstones using methods trusted by luxury jewelers.
Everyday Jewelry Cleaning: Safe & Simple
Prepare a bowl of lukewarm water mixed with a few drops of mild dish soap.
Let your jewelry soak for a few minutes to loosen dirt.
Gently clean with a soft-bristle brush (a baby toothbrush works perfectly).
Rinse thoroughly in clean water.
Carefully dry your jewelry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid paper towels or rough materials, as they may scratch metals or stones.
Special Care Tips for Different Gemstones
Diamonds might be sturdy, but they attract oils and dirt. Regular gentle cleaning keeps them bright and beautiful.
Turquoise, opals, malachite, and mother-of-pearl are delicate. Avoid soaking these stones—simply wipe gently with a damp cloth and dry immediately.
Pearls require gentle handling. Wipe them softly with a dry cloth after each wear to remove natural oils and maintain their luster.
Mistakes to Avoid
Harsh Chemicals: Never use bleach, alcohol, or abrasive household cleaners, as these can damage metals and delicate gemstones.
Ultrasonic Cleaners: While convenient, these machines can loosen settings or damage delicate stones—check with a jeweler first.
Everyday Activities: Remove your jewelry when swimming, exercising, gardening, or applying beauty products to avoid chemical exposure and physical damage.
Storage & Handling
Store jewelry individually in soft pouches or lined boxes. Diamonds can scratch other jewelry, including other diamonds. Remember to put on jewelry last—after perfume, hairspray, or lotion—to reduce residue buildup.
Professional Jewelry Care: When to Get Help
Even with regular home care, your fine jewelry deserves professional inspection and deep cleaning at least once a year. At Studio ALOI, our expert jewelers will carefully inspect settings and safely restore your jewelry’s brilliance.
