Entretien des bijoux

Not always. Hard gemstones like diamonds, rubies and sapphires can be safely cleaned with most jewellery solutions. However, soft or porous stones like pearls, opals, emeralds and turquoise need a specialist delicate cleaner. Always check what materials your jewellery is made from before choosing a cleaning method. For a full guide on how to clean different gemstones, click here .

Use a jewellery cleaning dip or spray paired with a small brush to reach behind settings and into crevices where dirt accumulates. The Jewellery Cleaning Wand is also ideal for intricate pieces - its built-in bristles tease out ingrained dirt while the cleaning solution restores sparkle.

Jewellery worn daily should be cleaned every two to four weeks to remove the build-up of oils, lotions and everyday grime that dulls its appearance. Pieces worn less frequently can be cleaned as needed. A quick polish with a jewellery cloth after each wear helps maintain sparkle between deeper cleans.
