Caring for Fine Jewelry at Home: A Jeweller's Guide

Fine jewelry asks very little of us, but the little it asks matters. A few minutes of attention each month is the difference between a piece that ages gracefully and one that grows dull.

The most common culprit behind a lacklustre diamond is simply skin oil and lotion. A soft toothbrush, warm water, and a drop of gentle soap restore brilliance in moments — there is no need for harsh chemicals.

Storage is the second pillar of care. Keep pieces separate so that harder stones do not scratch softer metals, and slip silver into the anti-tarnish pouch we include with every order.

Finally, treat your jeweller as part of the care routine. Aurelia offers complimentary lifetime cleaning and inspection — a chance to catch a loosening prong long before a stone is ever at risk.
