DIAMOND JEWELLERY CARE

Keep your diamond jewellery at its most brilliant, with our tips for cleaning and caring for your diamonds.  

COLOURED GEMSTONE AND PEARL JEWELLERY CARE

Care for your sapphires, emeralds, rubies, and other coloured gemstone jewellery with our guide below. 

It’s important to note that coloured gemstones vary in their levels of durability. The hardest stones are diamond, sapphire, and ruby (Mohs hardness ratings of 10 and 9). Aquamarine, emerald, morganite, and topaz (7.5 – 8 hardness rating) are also suitable for daily wear, but as they are slightly softer stones, care should be taken to ensure they aren’t scratched or knocked. 

Gems including amethyst, citrine, garnet, peridot, and tanzanite (hardness rating of 7 and below), should be worn with care to avoid potential scratches or damage. Avoid wearing your jewellery featuring these gemstones every single day, to help ensure longevity. Opal and pearl are the most delicate gems, so take extra care and note our tips for cleaning and storing them.
