Jewellery is more than just an accessory — it holds emotion, celebrates milestones, and tells personal stories that deserve to be preserved. At Vijaya Jewellery, we believe that every cherished piece deserves to shine just as beautifully years from now as it did on the day it was received. With a little care and regular maintenance, your treasured jewellery can remain radiant for generations.
Keeping your jewellery clean is essential to maintaining its brilliance. Gently washing your gold, diamonds, or most gemstones in warm water with a mild soap solution helps remove everyday dirt and buildup. After soaking the piece briefly, use a soft brush — like a toothbrush — to reach into delicate crevices. Rinse it well and pat it dry with a soft, lint-free cloth to restore its natural shine. Avoid using harsh chemicals, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage finishes or sensitive stones.
How you store your jewellery matters just as much as how you wear it. Storing each item separately in a soft-lined box or fabric pouch prevents tangling, scratching, or tarnishing over time. If you own multiple pieces, consider using a jewellery organizer with individual compartments to keep items from rubbing against each other. Protect your jewellery from excess moisture, direct heat, and sunlight, especially when dealing with delicate or organic gemstones.
Jewellery should always be worn with care. Everyday activities such as swimming, exercising, or doing household chores with cleaning products can put your jewellery at risk. Chemicals found in perfumes, lotions, and hairsprays can dull the finish of metals and stones, so it’s best to apply them before putting on your jewellery and allow time for everything to dry. Removing rings and bracelets before showering or washing your hands also helps preserve their shine and secure their settings.
Over time, even the best-made jewellery may require some professional attention. We recommend inspecting your pieces regularly for loose stones, worn prongs, or faulty clasps. At Vijaya Jewellery, we offer cleaning, polishing, and repair services to help your jewellery stay as beautiful and safe to wear as the day it was made. Scheduling occasional maintenance not only protects your investment but extends the life of your favourite items.
Each type of material needs its own special care. Gold is durable but can still scratch, so polish gently and avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals. Diamonds are extremely hard but can lose their brilliance when coated with oils or residue, so regular gentle cleaning is recommended. Some gemstones — like opals, pearls, and emeralds — are especially sensitive to temperature, light, and chemicals, and should be handled with extra caution. Silver, which naturally tarnishes over time, benefits from being stored in anti-tarnish pouches and polished with a soft silver cloth when needed.
At Vijaya Jewellery, we believe that caring for your jewellery is part of cherishing the memories it represents. Whether it’s an heirloom passed down through generations or a new piece marking a special occasion, our expert team is here to help you preserve its beauty with dedicated care and advice. Let your jewellery continue to shine — just like the moments it was made to celebrate.
