Caring for Diamonds and Precious Metals: Tips for Everlasting Shine

A high-quality piece of jewelry from Sirius Diamant is a lifelong investment. However, everyday influences like cosmetics, dust, or soap residue can dull the luster of your diamonds and precious metals over time. With proper care, your treasures will shine as brightly as on the first day, again and again.

1. Cleaning Diamonds: The Secret to Sparkle

Diamonds magically attract grease. Even a simple fingerprint can reduce light reflection. Our tip: Soak your jewelry in a mild soapy solution with warm water and gently clean it with a very soft toothbrush. Rinse it thoroughly and dry it with a lint-free cloth.

2. Gold and Silver: Beware of Chemicals

Never wear your jewelry when swimming in chlorinated water or when doing household chores with harsh cleaning agents. Chemicals can attack the alloy or damage the rhodium layer on white gold.

3. Proper Storage

Diamonds are so hard that they can scratch other pieces of jewelry. Therefore, it's best to store your pieces separately – ideally in the original Sirius Diamant box or a soft-lined jewelry box.

4. Professional Check-up

We recommend having your most valuable pieces checked by a professional once a year. At Sirius Diamant, we inspect the settings of the stones to ensure everything is secure and restore your jewelry's shine with a professional polish.
