General Care
To best protect your jewellery, remove it before participating in activities that can cause damage.
This may include:
Avoid knocking your jewellery against hard surfaces or exposing it to excessive force.
Cleaning & Home Maintenance
Jewellery that is worn frequently is constantly exposed to oils, dirt and various products (e.g. moisturiser, hairspray). Cleaning jewellery regularly can prevent the build-up of grime and dirt. It is easy to give jewellery a basic clean at home. There are a number of ways to do this:
Whichever way you choose to clean your jewellery, ensure it is completely dry before storing. Never use abrasive or harsh cleaning techniques. Many different jewellery cleaning ideas circulate online, with forums recommending everything from toothpaste to baking soda. These can cause damage to your jewellery and should be avoided at all costs.

Professional Maintenance
Diamond jewellery should be inspected annually by a qualified jeweller to ensure settings are secure. This is especially important if jewellery is worn daily, not just on special occasions. A jeweller will also be able to polish your jewellery and treat any tarnishing, scratches or other damage.
Some types of metal, such as white gold, need to be re-plated regularly to maintain its strength and appearance. Knowing your jewellery well means you can take care of the unique needs of every piece. Learn more about diamonds, precious metals and other information that will help you take the best care of your diamond jewellery.
Storage
Items of diamond jewellery should be stored separately to avoid scratching. When stored correctly, diamond necklaces and earrings will not tangle. Pouches or a soft-lined box with compartments are ideal for this purpose. Jewellery boxes should be kept in a cool, dry location.
When travelling, a good quality travel case will keep your jewellery well protected.
Insurance
We recommend all items of jewellery are insured against theft or damage. Consider adding your jewellery to your home insurance coverage or taking out an insurance policy specifically for your jewellery. Ensure you know exactly what is covered and what is not. We recommend Q Report for jewellery insurance, since they specialise in insuring jewellery.
With Q Report you will get:
Please note, all jewellery sold by Diamond Exchange comes with an insurance appraisal which can be used for insurance purposes.
