Ethically crafted jewellery is made to last, but it still needs care. Regular maintenance keeps your rings, necklaces and earrings sparkling and prolongs their life—an act of stewardship.
Start by cleaning your jewellery every few weeks with mild soap and warm water. Use a soft brush to loosen dirt and rinse thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners or abrasive materials that could scratch recycled metals or damage gemstones.
Store pieces separately in a soft pouch or lined box to prevent scratches and tangles. Remove jewellery during strenuous activities, swimming or cleaning to avoid damage or exposure to harsh chemicals. Pearls and opals require extra care; they are porous and should be kept away from perfume and hairspray.
For engagement rings and wedding bands, check the prongs annually with a trusted jeweller to ensure stones are secure. Ethical jewellers like Diamonds4Change use durable recycled metals and quality settings, but regular inspection prevents loss.
By caring for your jewellery, you honour not only the materials but the communities your purchase supports.
