Let`s talk dirty…..

On a daily basis, we all bath or shower, wash our clothing and wash our dishes.  But sadly, our jewellery or watches seldom gets the same treatment.  Jewellery such as our wedding rings, which are worn every single day are most often the least “looked after” and yet to us all, that is often the most important item of jewellery that we own.

So why are we not regularly cleaning our jewellery?  Is it because we assume it’s not necessary or is it because we just don’t know how?  So, let’s explore this……

Jewellery is made up of many metals, ranging from Sterling Silver to 22ct gold.  This might seem daunting and you might ask, “How do I know which product is the best and how can I be sure that I won’t damage my jewellery?”.  The answer is simple – speak to a jewellery professional.  A professional will be best suited to give you all the advice you need regarding how to clean your jewellery and look after your precious items.  Different metals may require different products, and different gemstones require the same consideration.  Soft gemstones ie. Pearls, Opals, Coral, Tanzanite etc, cannot withstand the same cleaning products that one would use on a Diamond for instance.  One also cannot clean Silver with the same product as you would Gold.  The same goes for watches – these require a different product.  Yes, it can seem confusing, but that is why your trusted jewellery will be the right person to speak to.

Here at David Luton Jewellers, we offer an expert cleaning service on jewellery and watches.  We also sell the correct products for you to use at home, with trust and confidence.

So next time you think your jewellery has lost their shine, take a closer look and you will see that they probably just need a good clean!
