How to take care of your jewelry?
Jewelry carries more than just style. It carries meaning. From a treasured family heirloom to a carefully curated collection of fine pieces, each item tells a story. To preserve that beauty and significance, proper care is essential.
Different materials require different approaches. Diamonds and precious metals all need gentle handling, careful cleaning, and safe storage to maintain their brilliance.
By taking thoughtful steps to care for your jewelry, you can ensure it continues to shine and remains a lasting symbol of elegance and value.
Wearing Your Jewelry Safely
Daily wear can expose your pieces to tarnish, scratches, or loose stones, but simple precautions prevent damage:
- Apply jewelry last: Always put on your pieces after skincare, makeup, perfumes, and lotions. Chemicals in these products can dull gemstones or affect metals.
- Remove jewelry during physical activities: Sports, household chores, or heavy lifting can scratch or bend your pieces. Sweat and heat can also accelerate tarnishing.
- Avoid water exposure: Chlorinated pools, showers, spas, and steam rooms can discolor or damage metals and delicate gemstones. Always remove jewelry before swimming or bathing.
Remember the 3 S’s:
Swim, Sweat, Steam — protect your jewelry by avoiding these when possible.
Cleaning Your Jewelry at Home
Proper cleaning preserves shine and brilliance:
- Use Royal Asscher Cleaning Kit. The kit includes a 177ml liquid cleaning jar, a brush and a diamond polishing cloth that will help your jewelry stay radiant and beautiful
- Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials; these can scratch metals or dislodge stones.
- For gemstones, pearls, or delicate pieces, handle gently and never clean over a sink; use a bowl to avoid losing small stones.
Professional cleaning tools like ultrasonic cleaners are best left to experts, as certain stones and treatments can be damaged by high-frequency vibrations.
Storing Your Jewelry
Each piece in the WOLF x Royal Asscher collaboration is designed to be more than storage. It’s an heirloom in its own right.
Together, these creations celebrate Royal Asscher’s heritage of diamond excellence and WOLF’s legacy of meticulous design, offering the perfect environment for your most precious jewels.
Extra Tips for Longevity
- Separate metals: Keep gold and silver pieces apart to prevent scratching and tarnishing.
- Regular maintenance: Have prongs, clasps, and settings checked by a professional to avoid stone loss.
- Mild cleaning routine: Regularly wipe your jewelry with a soft, lint-free cloth and Royal Asscher cleaning solution to maintain shine
When storing your jewelry, always:
- Ensure pieces are clean and dry before placing them inside.
- Keep items separated to avoid scratching softer metals or gemstones.
- Store away from direct sunlight, humidity, and heat.
