Clean Periodically: Use a soft cloth to wipe your platinum jewelry periodically. This removes surface oils or dirt and keeps your pieces shining!
-
Deep Clean Occasionally: Give your jewelry a bubble bath! Use warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap, and gently brush with a soft toothbrush. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Avoid harsh cleaners, they're too abrasive for your precious pieces.
-
Professional Cleaning: Take your pieces to a pro once a year. They have the right tools and knowledge to really get into the nooks and crannies.
-
Store Smart: When not worn, keep your platinum in a jewelry box or soft cloth pouch. Even tough platinum can get scratches, so let's avoid that by storing each piece separately.
-
Check-ups: Get your platinum jewelry, especially gemstone pieces, checked every six months. A jeweler will ensure the stones are secure and settings are intact.
-
Give 'Em a Break: Doing something rough or dealing with harsh chemicals? Best to leave your jewelry safe at home. Activities like gardening, swimming, or cleaning can be too hard on your platinum.
-
Polishing: Over time, your jewelry might show tiny scratches, leading to a softer shine. If you want the original sparkle back, take it to a professional for polishing.
