Diamond, Gemstones and fine jewellery care
Jewellery is a beautiful gift that can be handed down through the generations as a family heirloom, if it is cared for and maintained properly. Andrew Mazzone recommends bringing your jewellery items into our studio regularly to have them checked and cleaned. Our staff are always here to help.
Rings and fine jewellery
Your Andrew Mazzone rings and jewellery pieces need to be handled as precious. We recommend removing all your Andrew Mazzone rings and jewellery to do all house work related jobs and then placing them back on when you go out and for special occasions.
Please remove rings and jewellery when you are
- Sleeping- This is to avoid your ring catching in your hair , on your sheets or bed or you falling asleep on top of your ring which could weaken the ring setting.
- When in water- This includes showering, washing your hands and swimming at the beach or in a pool or spa.
- Exercising or working out- lifting heavy weights with hands or on machines or playing sports.
- Housework – cooking, cleaning, dish washing, cleaning bathrooms, making beds or anything that can put your beautiful jewellery at risk of getting damaged, physically caught on something or being exposed to harsh chemicals.
- Gardening or home maintenance- potting plants, digging, using tools and general outdoor repairs.
- Your skin care routine- Whenever you are cleansing, applying lotions, serums perfumes or makeup.
A natural cleaning solution to use at home.
Here’s a solution for keeping your diamonds sparkling clean. Mix a small amount of ammonia, with hot water and a few drops of mild liquid detergent in a small jar. Soak your jewellery for a few minutes, then remove and dab gently with a soft toothbrush. Place the jewellery in the solution for a few more minutes, then remove and rinse in hot water, and dry with a soft lint-free cloth or a tissue.
