Owning fine jewellery is a joy, but maintaining its brilliance requires care and attention. Whether it’s gold, diamond, or gemstone jewellery, every piece deserves thoughtful handling to preserve its shine, beauty, and value for years to come. At Al Haramain Jewellers, we believe that proper care transforms your jewellery into a lasting legacy.

Handle with Care

Jewellery may appear sturdy, but it’s surprisingly delicate. Always handle your pieces with clean, dry hands and avoid tugging on chains or forcing clasps. When dressing up, wear your jewellery last—after applying makeup, perfume, or lotion—and remove it first when undressing. Chemicals and oils from cosmetics can cause fading or dullness over time.

Avoid Exposure to Chemicals and Water

Chemicals found in perfumes, cleaning products, and even chlorine can tarnish or corrode metals. Water exposure, especially in pools or showers, can also weaken clasps and loosen stones. It’s best to remove your jewellery before swimming, cleaning, or exercising. After wearing, gently wipe each piece with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove sweat and residue.

Clean Your Jewellery Gently

Regular cleaning keeps your jewellery looking new. Mix a few drops of mild dish soap in warm water, soak your jewellery for 10 to 15 minutes, and then clean it gently with a soft brush. Rinse with lukewarm water and dry completely using a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, toothpaste, or abrasive cleaners that can damage gold and gemstones. Delicate stones like pearls and opals should never be soaked—simply wipe them carefully with a damp cloth.

Store Each Piece Separately

Improper storage can cause scratches, tangling, or dulling. Keep each item in a separate soft pouch or lined box to prevent friction. Store gold and diamond jewellery away from silver pieces to reduce tarnishing. Choose a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or humidity. Adding silica gel packets to your jewellery box can help prevent moisture damage.

Schedule Professional Maintenance

Even well-cared-for jewellery benefits from professional inspection. Have your pieces checked at least once a year to ensure stones are secure and clasps are functioning properly. Professional cleaning and polishing can restore brilliance that regular home care cannot achieve. At Al Haramain Jewellers, expert maintenance ensures your treasured pieces stay as radiant as ever.

Protect Your Investment

Your jewellery holds both sentimental and financial value. Keep purchase receipts, certificates, and photographs in a safe place for insurance or appraisal purposes. When traveling, use padded jewellery cases and carry your pieces in your hand luggage instead of checked bags to avoid loss or damage.

Final Thoughts

Caring for your jewellery is an act of preserving beauty and emotion. With gentle handling, regular cleaning, and occasional professional maintenance, your pieces can continue to sparkle for generations. At Al Haramain Jewellers, we craft jewellery to last a lifetime, and with the right care, it will shine just as brightly in the years ahead.
