Jewellery Care
Caring for Your Diamonds
Diamonds are extremely durable. Only another diamond can scratch them, and they resist even strong acids. Breakage is rare and typically occurs in areas with natural inclusions.
For care, clean diamonds with a soft cloth and mild soap or special jewelry cleaning solutions. For deeper cleaning, use ultrasonic or steam cleaners under professional supervision. Avoid sudden temperature changes with Fancy Color Diamonds, as they may cause discoloration.
Caring for Your Sapphires and Rubies
Rubies are exceptionally durable, making them perfect for daily wear. Sunlight, heat, and water do not affect their brilliance.
For care, clean rubies with lukewarm water and mild soap. For rubies with glass fillers, avoid acidic materials and chemicals that may alter their color. For specialized care, consult expert gemologists like Angeliki and Katerina Daskalaki.
Caring for Your Emeralds
Emeralds are more delicate than sapphires and rubies, often containing fillers to mask imperfections.
For care, avoid cleaning emeralds with steam or ultrasonic cleaners. Use lukewarm water and mild soap to prevent damage to the fillers. Store them in a cool, protected environment for long-term preservation.
Caring for Your Pearls
Pearls are the most delicate gemstones, vulnerable to dehydration, heat, and chemicals.
For care, store pearls in an environment with controlled humidity. Avoid exposure to hairsprays, perfumes, and cosmetics. Clean them with lukewarm water and mild soap. Remember: Pearls should be the last accessory you put on and the first one you take off.
