Jewelry Care 101 – How to Clean and Preserve Your Fine Jewelry
Easy Maintenance Tips from DE LISSÉ
Whether it’s your bespoke engagement ring or a family heirloom, fine jewelry needs love – and the right care. With just a few simple steps, you can keep your favorite pieces sparkling for years to come. Here are our top tips to clean, protect and preserve your DE LISSÉ jewelry – the stylish way.
💧 1. Cleaning? Keep it gentle.
Warm water, a few drops of mild soap, and a soft cloth or toothbrush – that’s all it takes. Let your jewelry soak for a few minutes, then gently brush and rinse thoroughly. Dry with a lint-free cloth.
❌ Avoid: Ultrasonic cleaners (especially with soft stones), harsh chemicals, or toothpaste – they can damage delicate settings and finishes.
🛑 2. Take it off – when cleaning, working out, or applying lotion
Chemicals, sweat, and pressure can wear down both stones and metals. Especially for rings you wear every day, like engagement rings, it’s smart to remove them before chores, sports, or skincare routines.
💡 Pro tip: Keep a small tray or jewelry dish nearby so your ring is always safe (and stylishly stored).
✨ 3. Store smart – soft, separate & dry
Jewelry prefers its own space. Store each piece separately in a soft-lined box or pouch. Keep away from direct sunlight and moisture to avoid tarnish and scratches.
🌙 Extra tip: Anti-tarnish strips help keep silver shiny longer.
🕒 4. Annual Check-Up = Jewelry Wellness
A once-a-year visit to your trusted jeweler can make all the difference. We clean your piece professionally, check the setting, and make sure everything’s secure.
