GENERAL CARE

Over time, fine jewelry can become a treasured family heirloom with proper care. Dust, pollution and daily wear all conspire to cloud the brilliance of gemstones. The surface of gold, platinum and silver jewelry can become dulled. Timeworn prongs and clasps can result in the loss of a stone or an entire piece of jewelry.

Professional cleanings are recommended as often as once a year. We encourage you to bring your AQUEEN jewelry back to us for professional servicing. Our staff is knowledgeable and experienced in all aspects of jewelry care, including cleaning gemstones, restringing pearls and repairing clasps and earring backs.

KARAT GOLD

With professional services, most gold jewelry can be maintained with a non-abrasive cleaner. Examine your jewelry regularly to make sure settings are snug and clasps and joining are secure.

Avoid exposing gold jewelry to household bleach, because gold will discolor and possibly disintegrate quickly.

DIAMOND

To clean diamonds, use a mild solution of six parts water to one part ammonia and apply with a soft bristle brush, and dry it up by a hair dryer.

If  you often wear it, pearls should be cleaned and restrung professionally once a year. Besides cleanings, pearls should be wiped gently with a damp cloth.
