Fine jewelry is an investment that often carries deep sentimental value. Whether it is a family heirloom or a recent purchase, proper care ensures your jewelry remains beautiful for years to come. Infinity Jewelers proudly helps clients throughout Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, and South Jersey protect and maintain their fine jewelry.
Understanding Your Fine Jewelry
Gold varies by karat and softness, requiring gentle care. Sterling silver can tarnish and benefits from regular cleaning. Platinum is durable but may develop surface scratches over time. Gemstones vary in hardness, with diamonds being durable and pearls and opals requiring extra care.
Daily Jewelry Care Tips
Remove jewelry before exercise, household chores, or swimming. Store pieces separately in a soft lined jewelry box. Clean jewelry regularly using appropriate methods for each material.
Professional Jewelry Care
Annual professional inspections help identify loose stones or worn settings. Professional cleanings restore brilliance and remove buildup that home cleaning cannot.
Caring for Specific Jewelry Types
Engagement rings and wedding bands require frequent inspection due to daily wear. Pearls and opals should be kept away from chemicals and stored carefully. Antique jewelry should be serviced by experienced professionals.
Traveling With Fine Jewelry
Use a dedicated jewelry travel case and always keep valuable jewelry in your carry on bag.
Final Thoughts
Proper care preserves both the beauty and meaning of fine jewelry. With thoughtful maintenance and professional service, your jewelry can be enjoyed and passed down for generations.
