💎 Jewellery Care Guide

At Sparkle Jewels, each piece is crafted with precision to be cherished for a lifetime. Proper care ensures your natural or lab-grown diamond jewellery keeps its brilliance and beauty for years.

1. Everyday Habits & What to Avoid

• Last On, First Off Wear jewellery after makeup, perfume, hairspray, or lotion. Remove it before bathing or sleeping.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals & Chlorine Remove jewellery before swimming or cleaning. Chlorine, bleach, and cleaning agents can weaken gold and damage rhodium plating (in white gold).
• Remove During Physical Activities Take off jewellery before gym workouts, household chores, gardening, or heavy lifting to avoid bending or loosening settings.
• Handle with Care Gold is soft, especially 22K & 18K. Avoid bumps or stacking heavy pieces to prevent scratches and dents.

2. Cleaning & Maintenance

• Gentle Cleaning at Home Soak jewellery in lukewarm water with mild soap. Brush gently with a soft toothbrush, rinse, and pat dry with a microfiber or lint-free cloth.
• Wipe After Every Wear Oils and sweat can dull diamonds. A quick wipe with a soft cloth maintains sparkle.
• Avoid Abrasive Cleaners Never use toothpaste, harsh chemicals, or rough cloths—they can scratch gold and loosen prongs.
• Professional Polishing & Rhodium Replating White gold may need rhodium replating over time. Yellow & rose gold benefit from occasional polishing.

3. Storage Tips

• Store Separately Keep pieces in soft pouches or lined jewellery boxes to avoid scratches.
• Keep Dry & Cool Avoid humid places like bathrooms; moisture can tarnish gold and affect diamond shine.
• Travel Carefully Use individual pouches or soft-lined travel cases to prevent scratches or bending.

4. Diamond & Setting Care

• Natural & Lab-Grown Diamonds Both require the same care—regular cleaning restores sparkle.
• Check Settings Regularly Have prongs or clasps inspected once or twice a year by a professional to prevent stone loss.
• Avoid Ultrasonic Cleaners at Home Fragile designs may not withstand ultrasonic vibrations. Leave deep cleaning to professionals.
