While you don’t often think about it; cleaning, caring for and storing your jewelry is just as important as
maintenance on other investments purchases. What type of piece you are caring for is important in how
you take care of it. Grogan Jewelers by Lon offers professional cleaning services and expert advice:
Jewelry Care
Store silver jewelry in a cool, dry place, ideally in cloth or in a piece of felt. Be careful using ultrasonic cleaners, as only certain items are intended for ultrasonic vibrations. Silver jewelry can be cleaned with a silver polishing cloth, with or without silver cleaning solution.
Diamond Care
Most diamonds are worn daily and can lose their sparkle if not cleaned regularly. Daily products put film on diamonds and reduce shininess. Make sure to avoid chlorine and hot tubs.
Gemstone Care
Gemstones should avoid sudden temperature changes. If you’re typically hard on jewelry, try to save rings and bracelets for special occasions. Some gemstones are brittle, like emeralds; rubies on the other hand are second in hardness to a diamond.
Other Pieces
Don’t forget about your other meaningful items like timepieces, cufflinks and tie clips that get a lot of use and sometimes not a lot of (cleaning) love.
