Caring for your jewellery

Visit a jeweller at least once a year to have your jewellery cleaned and checked.

Don't wear your jewellery while doing heavy or rough work and avoid contact with gritty substances. Even though a diamond is durable, it can be chipped by a hard blow.

Remove your jewellery when applying everyday lotions such as sunscreen and perfume. These can clog up your diamond and even penetrate some porous coloured gemstones. Don't let your jewellery come in contact with chlorine bleach or harsh chemicals when you are doing household chores.

Store each item of jewellery separately to avoid scratches. Keep chains fastened and lay them flat so that they don't get tangled up.

Make sure that your jewellery is insured. Most insurance companies can include your jewellery under your home insurance, but you can always opt to have it insured separately. Ask your sales consultant for more information.

Cleaning your jewellery
Clean your jewellery periodically. Gently rub platinum, gold and silver jewellery with a soft, clean cloth to maximise the shine. Diamond jewellery can be brought to life by careful cleaning with a soft brush and jewellery cleaning solution. Always rinse and dry them thoroughly after cleaning. Don't use abrasive cleaners on your jewellery.

Platinum
Over time, platinum develops a natural patina that many people prefer over the "as new" appearance. When this happens, you can have your jewellery refurbished to look like new again. Antwerp Diamond Company offers this service for a small charge.

White gold
Pure gold is naturally yellow. It can be given a white appearance by mixing it with other base metals. All white gold jewellery is enhanced by rhodium plating to give a highly reflective appearance. General wear, polishing or buffing will eventually result in the rhodium plating being removed. This is normal for white gold. To maintain the highly reflective rhodium finish of white gold jewellery, we advise that you have it periodically refurbished to look like new again. Antwerp Diamond Company offers this service for a small charge.

Silver
Silver will tarnish over time. Regular cleaning and polishing will restore the original look of silver. Silver is a soft precious metal so re-adjusting of clasps and fittings may be required. You should treat catches, links and stems on earrings with particular care.

Ice Pink Diamond Care Tips
Ice Pink diamonds, like all diamonds, are hardy and durable, resistant to general wear and tear, unless they’re subjected to extreme temperatures (above 500 C) or the pavilion is exposed to acids or abrasive materials (recutting or exposure to Jewellery polishing wheel).

During choosing Jewellery designs, care needs to be taken that designs where the pavilion of the diamonds are covered should be chosen. Ice Pink diamonds should not be set in open settings like Tension-set rings.

The results of durability tests performed on Ice Pink diamonds are as follows:
