Why You Should Have Your Jewelry Professionally Cleaned
Keeping your engagement ring, wedding band, and other favorite pieces looking their best is easier than you might think. Everyday wear leaves behind dirt and oils that can make jewelry look less brilliant. Simple habits and regular professional cleaning can help your jewelry looking brand new for years.
The Benefits of Professional Cleaning
Professional cleaning restores your jewelry’s sparkle and ensures it remains in excellent condition. At Cachet Fine Jewelry, our experts use tools and techniques designed specifically for fine jewelry. Each cleaning includes an inspection of prongs, settings, and clasps to make sure your pieces remain secure. This combination of cleaning and inspection helps maintain the quality and longevity of your jewelry.
Simple Jewelry Care Habits
A few easy habits to help your jewelry stay clean and shiny:
Remove jewelry before showering, applying lotion, or cooking. This prevents oils, products, and residues from building up on your pieces.
Avoid lifting weights or moving heavy objects while wearing jewelry. Heavy activity can dent or scratch rings, and softer stones may be damaged.
Store pieces in soft pouches or lined jewelry boxes. Keep jewelry separate to prevent scratches and tangling. Hard stones, like diamonds, can scratch other gems or metals if stored together.
Wipe jewelry gently with a soft microfiber cloth after wearing. This removes everyday oils and dust to help maintain sparkle.
For pieces worn regularly, we recommend bringing them to Cachet Fine Jewelry once every six months for complimentary professional cleaning. This service is exclusive to our clients, offering expert care that helps your jewelry stay brilliant for years.
Professional Cleaning vs. DIY Methods
While simple at-home cleaning can remove surface oils, dust, and everyday buildup, professional cleanings are more thorough and can remove buildup that DIY methods often miss. Our expert jewelers use specialized tools, ultrasonic machines, and safe cleaning solutions to restore your jewelry’s shine. We also inspect settings and prongs to ensure stones remain secure. DIY cleaning with harsh chemicals or abrasive materials can scratch metals, loosen stones, or damage delicate gemstones. Fine jewelry is often handed down through generations, so proper care helps preserve both its beauty and value.
