Five Reasons to have your Jewellery Professionally Cleaned

Noticing your diamond ring isn’t sparkling quite like it used to? Metals can tarnish and dust and dirt can leave a build-up on your jewellery dulling its sparkle and shine. If it’s looking a little dull, it may be time for a clean. Before you go reaching for a scrubbing brush and toothpaste, consider professional jewellery cleaning. A DIY job can sometimes do more harm than good so it’s important to leave it to the experts. Here are five reasons why you should have your jewellery professionally cleaned.

1. Home products just don’t cut it

You have probably heard that household products such as toothpaste, baking soda, vinegar and dish soap are great for cleaning jewellery. This is not always the case, some of these products can do more harm than good. You want to make sure you avoid any products that have acids and denatured alcohol. It’s a good idea to avoid using toothpaste too because it can leave a build-up that hardens over time forming little stones that are hard to remove. For regular maintenance in between professionally cleaning, the best product to use is mild dish soap and a microfiber cloth.

2. Check for damage – Jewellery Repair Canberra

Having your jewellery professionally cleaned is a good opportunity for the jeweller to check for damage. To the untrained eye, you may not notice if a stone is coming loose, or it has a slight crack. Jewellers are professionally trained and will notice the little things that you may have missed. We offer jewellery repair services to restore jewellery to its former glory.

3. It’s super affordable

At Diamond Boutique, we offer jewellery cleaning services for a small affordable fee. This cost covers cleaning products and the time and care spent by our jewellers cleaning and polishing your piece. We use mild abrasives and an ultrasonic machine that will use sound waves to shake out any trapped dirt and grime.

4. Make your jewellery shine like new

Our on-site jewellers can restore your pieces to their former glory. We offer cleaning and rhodium plating to give your piece new life. Polish away tannish and remove any residue build-up for the ultimate sparkle. We will have your piece back to you within a day looking as good as new.  

5. A chance to see what’s in store
