Your Custom Kharats jewelry is more than a piece of fine craftsmanship; it’s a personal story immortalized in precious metals and diamonds. Designed with meticulous attention to detail, our jewelry is made to last a lifetime. However, like all valuable possessions, proper care ensures its beauty remains intact for generations. Here’s a comprehensive guide to keeping your Custom Kharats jewelry at its sparkling best.

Daily Care: Simple Habits to Protect Your Jewelry

1. Avoid Contact with Harsh Chemicals:
   Substances like chlorine, alcohol-based products, or cleaning agents can tarnish metals and affect the brilliance of diamonds. Always remove your jewelry before swimming, cleaning, or applying cosmetics like perfumes or lotions.
2. Limit Physical Strain:
   While diamonds are among the hardest materials on Earth, settings and metals can still scratch or warp under stress. Remove jewelry before high-impact activities such as sports, gardening, or heavy lifting to prevent damage.
3. Smart Layering:
   If wearing multiple pieces, ensure items don’t rub against one another. Mixing metals or wearing jewelry with sharp edges together can lead to unnecessary wear and tear.

Cleaning Your Custom Kharats Jewelry

Regular cleaning not only maintains your jewelry’s shine but also prevents build-up that can obscure its brilliance.
At-Home Cleaning Steps:
Mix warm water with a few drops of mild, non-abrasive dish soap.
Soak your jewelry for 10-15 minutes, then gently scrub with a soft-bristled toothbrush.
Rinse thoroughly under lukewarm water and pat dry using a lint-free cloth.
Avoid Harsh Cleaners:
Skip abrasive substances like baking soda or toothpaste. These can scratch metals and leave your jewelry looking dull.
Professional Cleaning Services:
For a deeper clean or to restore intricate designs, bring your jewelry to Custom Kharats for a professional service. Our expert team uses advanced techniques to ensure your piece is safely cleaned and polished to perfection.

Proper Storage: Safeguard Your Jewelry’s Shine

1. Use Individual Compartments:
   Store each piece in a separate compartment or pouch to avoid scratching or tangling. Soft-lined jewelry boxes are ideal for this purpose.
2. Climate Considerations:
   Keep your jewelry in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposing it to extreme humidity or direct sunlight, as these can degrade metals and settings over time.
3. Travel with Care:
   Use padded travel cases when on the go. Secure clasps and check settings before traveling to ensure your jewelry stays protected.

Routine Maintenance: A Check-Up for Your Jewelry

To ensure the longevity and integrity of your jewelry, regular inspections and maintenance are essential:

Gemstone Longevity:
Diamonds are resilient, but softer gemstones in your custom designs may require extra care. Our experts can guide you on preserving their condition.

Inspect Settings and Prongs:
Over time, settings can loosen, increasing the risk of losing stones. Inspect your jewelry under good lighting or bring it to us for a complimentary check-up.

Re-Polishing and Re-Plating:
White gold pieces may require rhodium re-plating every few years to maintain their bright finish. Similarly, polishing can refresh worn areas of other metals like yellow or rose gold.

A Few Final Tips

1. Rotate Your Jewelry: Daily wear can result in natural wear and tear. Rotate pieces to reduce strain on any one item.
2. Know When to Remove It: Jewelry should be the last thing you put on in the morning and the first thing you remove at night. This minimizes exposure to external factors that can dull its sparkle.
