Useful advice on caring for Platinum

Clean your Platinum jewelry periodically. This will enhance the life and appearance of your jewelry.

|
|
Clean Platinum in the same way you clean your other fine jewelry. Use a pre-packaged jewelry cleaner Or, by soaking it in a mild solution of soap and warm water. Then gently rub it with a soft cloth.

Have your Platinum jewelry cleaned professionally once in awhile. Platinum jewelry that is set with gemstones should be cleaned professionally every six months.

Over time Platinum develops a natural patina that many people prefer over the "just polished" look. When this happens, you can take your piece to your qualified jewelry (or us)to have it re-polished to a high gloss look.
|
|
|
Store your Platinum jewelry separately, in a jewelry box or chamois bag so they do not get scratched by other items of jewelry
|
|
|
For adjustments, resizing, polishing and cleaning, find a QUALIFIED jeweler. Ensure he/she is trained in working with Platinum as it requires additional skills. You may email us anytime for pricing on your special repair/sizing polishing needs.
