Jewelry Care & Maintenance
Preserve the Sparkle of Every Moment
Polmeri jewelry is crafted to endure—a legacy of form and sentiment. With thoughtful care, each piece will retain its brilliance for generations. This guide offers best practices to preserve your jewelry’s beauty and integrity.
Daily Care
Everyday moments can subtly impact your jewelry’s longevity. To protect your pieces:
- Remove before showering, swimming, or exercising.
- Apply fragrances, makeup, and hair products prior to wearing.
- Store individually in soft pouches or a lined jewelry box to avoid abrasion.
- Wipe gently with a soft, lint-free cloth after each wear to remove natural oils.
Refinement begins with ritual—removing your jewelry before sleep helps prevent wear and tangling.
Cleaning Methods
Consistent, gentle care maintains brilliance without compromise.
Diamonds & Precious Gemstones
- Soak in warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap (20–30 min).
- Gently brush with a soft-bristled toothbrush.
- Rinse and dry with a lint-free cloth.
Gold Jewelry
- Clean with warm water and a gentle soap solution.
- Brush delicately, rinse, and buff with a polishing cloth.
Silver Jewelry
- Use a silver-specific polishing cloth or solution.
- For tarnish, apply a paste of baking soda and water, then rinse and dry fully.
Note: Porous or delicate stones such as pearls, opals, and emeralds require special care. When in doubt, consult your Polmeri jeweler.
Professional Servicing
Even with meticulous care, fine jewelry benefits from periodic professional attention:
- Annual cleaning and inspection are recommended.
- For frequently worn items, consider servicing every six months.
- Our experts can assess for loose settings, worn prongs, or other structural concerns.
- White gold pieces may benefit from occasional re-plating to maintain their luster.
Polmeri offers comprehensive care services to ensure your pieces remain pristine.
Storage Guidance
Proper storage preserves both form and function:
- Store each piece separately to prevent contact or abrasion.
- Use anti-tarnish cloths for silver items.
- Lay necklaces flat or hang to avoid tangling.
- Avoid direct sunlight or high heat; keep in a cool, dry place.
Traveling? Use a structured jewelry case with individual compartments. Always carry valuables in your hand luggage.
Jewelry Insurance
Though care is the first safeguard, insurance provides an added layer of protection against loss, theft, or accidental damage. We recommend insuring high-value or sentimental pieces for peace of mind.
