5 Fine Jewelry Care Tips | DE ASTRA Jewelry Guide

Shine your fine jewelry in order to last. DE ASTRA Jewelry gives five tips of how to maintain, clean, store, and protect your favorite jewels in the real world.

And your jewelry is not only a statement of fashion, but also a memory bank, a future heirloom. Now that you either have just purchased a lab-grown diamond engagement ring in NYC, or you have new jewelry in a necklaces line that we work in (Deastra), a proper cleaning regimen will keep it shining as bright as the memories that those jewels serve.

Being the official site of Deastra Jewelry, we have compiled five simple tips on how to maintain that signature shine, tips tried by experts.

1. Fancy-Free Cleaning That Works Gently

You do not have to spend a lot of money on treating your diamonds to make them fresh. Warm water and a small amount of mild dish soap and a soft-bristle toothbrush will go far.

The corners and crevices you should softly scrub in using the spon, rinse, and dry on soft cloth, never on a paper towel, because it will make tiny scratches on precious metals.

Insider tip: Wipe your item after every use with a soft and damp cloth to rest the oils, sunscreen or perfume. This small practice keeps the fire of the rocks and helps to decrease deposition in the course of time.

2. Prevent Scratches and Tangles in Stores

There is a jumble of gold scratched and chains twisted. Keep your finer pieces individually in soft pouches, in separate boxes or compartments or in lined jewelry boxes. This is particularly the case with our Diamond Necklaces to ensure that the fragile chains do not get knotted.

Pro tip: Use the clasps before storing the necklaces: it will help to avoid snags and leave the chain in readiness to wear again.

3. Do Off With Jewelry On Crude Occasion

The daily chores such as deep cleaning, swimming, exercising or gardening can be very demanding. Metals will suffer harsh chemicals, chlorine and sweat, which will loosen the most secure gemstone settings.

It is adviseable to take off your pieces before going to the gym or the pool.

Last-minute solution: Have a small jewelry container in your gym bag or next to the bathroom sink. The solution to this question is to have a special safe place where you can always leave something without losing or damaging it.

4. Professional Annual check ups and maintenance

Similar to a fine watch, luxury jewellery must receive regular service-check ups, particularly Diamond Engagement Rings and heirlooms. An annual appointment with a professional jeweler will make it possible to detect any loose prongs, worn-out clasps, or weak settings before it is a problem.

Your pieces will look like they were brand new because of regular maintenance, such as professional polishing or re-plating of white gold pieces.

5. Record, Evaluate and Insure Your Valuables

Let’s face it—life happens. It could be an accident or a relocation but we would like to secure your investment. Provided you buy a diamond tennis necklace or a high-value ring, you should have updates in the form of appraisons (at least at least once in 3-5 years).

Keep a safe digital storage of stores clear photographs and certificates to have complete peace of mind.

Final Word
By only a few considerate ways of thinking- mild cleaning, intelligent storage, wise wearing, and professional examinations, you preserve the physical attractiveness and the undetectable emotional worth of your jewelry.
