Why Cleaning Fine Jewellery is Important

Without question, it's more crucial that your rings are kept clean than being afraid you are cleaning your jewellery too often. Dirty, unkempt jewellery can be a haven for a wide variety of bacteria which could ultimately lead to allergies, skin irritation, and complete degradation and discolouration of the fine metals. Excessive dirt and debris can also lead to gemstones becoming scratched as well.

As long as you take care to clean your jewellery the right way, the risks of damaging your jewellery are far less.  Rigorous scrubbing, harsh chemicals, and submersion in liquids for too long are all things that can damage your jewellery in the long run.

Cleaning Fine Jewellery at Home

There are numerous ways you can clean your delicate jewellery at home. Depending on the type of jewellery you are cleaning, we have come up with different DIY cleaning directions you can try. Stick to these tips for the times in between expert cleanings. But don't let these replace a cleaning and inspection by experts permanently. It's important to have valuable jewellery that you wear often checked by your jeweler once or twice a year.

If you want the feel of professional cleaning from home, consider purchasing an ultrasonic jewellery cleaning machine. The cost and quality ​of these devices vary, but they will free dirt and dust from smallest of places, leaving your jewellery looking like new. 

Buyer Beware: there is a lot of beautiful jewellery that is not suitable for these machines.

How Much Professional Ring Cleaning Costs

If you purchased your fine jewellery from a local jeweller, inspections and cleanings are usually covered for free for the lifetime of the item. Be sure to ask if this advantage is included at the time of purchase. Be sure to build a relationship with a jeweller you can trust, so you feel confident going to him/her when things have gone wrong.
