Caring for your Jewellery

Caring for Jewellery is an important part of owning Jewellery.
You should always take care of your jewellery and when they are not being worn, they should be stored away carefully.  
Special care should be taken of Pearls, Diamond Rings and Gold Chains. Never throw them all in together in a box until you need them again.Chains can get knotted and pearls are easily marked.

That's why at Ajay Jewellers we dedicate this section of our web-site to informing you of the best ways to Care for your jewellery, simply click the links below:

Gold Jewellery

To clean Gold, first soak it in a little warm water with fairy liquid and then brush carefully (with a tooth brush) around any stones with a small makeup brush.

You should never soak pearl, coral, or stone, which may have water-soluble fittings.

When you have cleaned the jewellery, rinse it in cold water and dry with a soft cloth.

If you wish for a more professional clean, bring your jewellery to an Ajay Jewellers showroom, have special chemicals and equipment which will make to look as good as new. In addition we can offer you one o one expert advise on the best action.

Remember to always put your jewellery away in a jewellery box, which has special compartments for the different items or keep them in their individual boxes until you need them again.

Diamond Jewellery

Do not wear your Diamond Ring when doing rough jobs, cleaning, gardening etc. Catching in things can damage claws and settings. Diamonds, even though the hardest of stones, can be chipped by a hard knock.

Check the claws of your rings regularly as they can catch in your clothes when you are dressing. The damage caused to the claw may lead you to losing your diamond (at worse the diamond can fall out).

You can sometimes tell if damage has been done if the ring keeps catching in your clothes and on close examination, you can see the claw is either missing or raised from the stone.

If a claw is found to be damaged or missing, take the article to your nearest Ajay Jewellers showroom where our qualified jeweller experts should be able to repair it for you.

You can clean your diamond ring in warm water as with the gold jewellery.

Brush carefully with a small brush around the diamonds as under the stones can become very dirty. This can cause your stones to appear dull as no light can get through from underneath. Rinse in cold water and dry with a soft cloth.

Remember Diamonds are forever and with a bit of care and attention will sparkle the way they did when they were new in years to come.
