Care depends on more than the type of stone: the metal, setting and any other materials matter too. When in doubt, ask for advice tailored to your piece.
Everyday wear
Household cleaners, chlorinated water and direct contact with cosmetics can affect some metals or delicate gems. Consider removing jewellery before cleaning or entering a pool.
Gentle cleaning
Warm water, mild soap and a soft brush can be suitable for some pieces. Pearls, other delicate materials and treated gems may need different care, so ask us or a specialist which method suits your jewellery before cleaning it.
If rinsing is appropriate, use a separate bowl rather than rinsing directly over a drain, where a loose stone or the piece itself could be lost.
Ultrasonic cleaning and inspection
Ultrasonic cleaning is not suitable for every stone or setting; vibrations can loosen some gems. Leave this process to a jewellery professional who can assess the piece. If a stone moves or a setting looks damaged, stop wearing the item and have it inspected.
Keep your documents
Keep your product certificate and any independent stone report. You can view your Di’Oro product record on our website using the QR or certificate code on your card. Contact us with questions about care or documentation.
