YOUR QUESTIONS
ANSWERED

  • How often do I need to check the claws of my ring?
    We highly recommend visiting us every six months for a professional cleaning and quality inspection of your jewellery. Check-ups allow us to identify and repair worn or damaged claws before they lead to the loss of stones. Any loose stones can be securely tightened to prevent potential loss.
  • What is the difference between a lab grown diamond and a real diamond?
    Lab-grown diamonds and natural diamonds are identical in appearance, chemical composition, and physical properties. Both have the same brilliance, hardness, and durability. The key difference lies in their origin: natural diamonds form deep within the Earth over years, while lab-grown diamonds are created in a controlled environment using advanced technology within a few weeks. Lab-grown diamonds offer a more sustainable and affordable option, without compromising on quality, beauty, or value.
  • How do I care for my pearls?
    Wear Them Often: Pearls benefit from natural oils in your skin, which help keep them hydrated and shiny. Last On, First Off: Put your pearls on after applying makeup, perfume, and hairspray to avoid exposure to chemicals. Clean Gently: Wipe pearls with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove oils and dirt. For a deeper clean, use mild soapy water and a soft cloth—never harsh cleaners or ultrasonic devices. Store Properly: Keep pearls in a soft pouch or lined jewellery box, separate from other jewellery to prevent scratches. Restring as Needed: If you wear them frequently, have pearls restrung every 1–2 years to ensure the string remains secure.
  • Do you do ring valuations?
    yes we do.
  • What is rhodium plating?
    Rhodium plating is a process where a thin layer of rhodium, a rare and durable precious metal, is applied to jewellery, typically over white gold, silver, or platinum. This plating enhances the jewellery’s appearance by giving it a brilliant, reflective white finish and adds a protective layer that resists scratches, tarnish, and corrosion. Over time, rhodium plating can wear off, especially on rings and other frequently worn pieces. It’s recommended to have your jewellery re-plated every 12–18 months to maintain its shine and protection.
  • What is the best way to store my chains?
    Best way is to store them in a hanging position. If stored in a box they can tangle and tarnish over time.
  • How do I keep my jewellery clean?
    Regular Cleaning: Gently clean your jewellery preferably once a week with warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Keep jewellery away from household cleaners, perfumes, lotions, and hairsprays, as these can damage metals and gemstones. Store Properly: Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or lined jewellery box to prevent scratches and tangling. Remove when necessary: Take off jewellery when swimming, exercising, or doing household chores to avoid exposure to chemicals and physical damage.
