As your custom jewellery designer, I’ve spent years creating and caring for precious pieces that tell your unique stories. One of the most important things I’ve learned is that regular maintenance keeps your jewellery not just beautiful, but safe and secure for years to come.
Your favourite pieces face daily challenges. Lotions, soaps, perfumes, and natural oils can all leave residue that dims their natural brilliance. The basket setting beneath your stones, that intricate metalwork that holds everything secure, is particularly vulnerable to buildup. When this area gets clogged, it can affect the sparkle and make it harder to properly inspect the setting.
The Art of Preservation
Every 6 months, I recommend bringing your precious pieces in for a thorough check up.
During our maintenance session, I’ll:
• Deep clean your jewellery using professional ultrasonic equipment
• Carefully inspect each claw and setting
• Check stone security and alignment
• Clean those hard to reach spaces under the stones
Think of these maintenance visits like your dental cleanings. They catch small issues before they become big problems.
A loose claw or shifting stone can be much easier to address when caught early, helping prevent potential loss or damage. Professionally cleaned jewellery can also restore a level of brilliance that is difficult to achieve with at home care alone.
Professional Care & Maintenance
My role extends beyond creating beautiful pieces. I’m here to help maintain their beauty and integrity for years to come.
During each cleaning appointment, I have the opportunity to look closely at your jewellery and make sure everything remains secure. It is also a chance for us to talk about any concerns you may have about your pieces.
Complimentary Services
As part of my commitment to caring for the jewellery I create, I offer complimentary cleaning and maintenance services to my clients.
Over a relaxing cup of coffee, we can discuss any concerns you might have while I give your pieces the attention they deserve.
This isn’t just about cleaning. It’s about preserving the stories and memories your jewellery represents.
Home Care Guidelines
Between professional cleanings, there are a few simple things you can do to protect your jewellery:
• Store pieces separately to prevent scratching
• Remove jewellery before swimming or applying personal care products
• Keep rings safe during heavy housework
• Gently wipe pieces with a soft cloth after wearing
These simple habits can help keep your jewellery looking beautiful between professional maintenance appointments.
The Importance of Regular Maintenance
Regular care is an important part of owning fine jewellery.
Your pieces are worn, handled, and exposed to everyday products and activities. Over time, even a small issue with a setting can become more serious if it is not noticed.
A regular professional check gives me the opportunity to identify concerns early and make sure your jewellery remains safe to wear.
My Commitment to You
Every piece I create represents something meaningful, and I want you to enjoy it for years to come.
When you’re ready for your next cleaning, simply reach out to schedule a time. These sessions typically take about 30 minutes, and I’m always happy to answer questions about your pieces while we work.
