Easy, you\u2019ll think, let\u2019s see together how to do it and what not to do.<\/strong><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
We have dedicated a larger section on how to clean Jewellery<\/strong>, due to the various requests received.<\/div>\n
When asked how to keep your jewellery clean and bright, I could say: go to a trusted jeweller or professional in the field<\/strong>, who with appropriate tools will thoroughly clean the jewel. The occasion of bringing your jewel to a professional is useful to have your jewellery checked<\/strong>, see if they need to be repaired or fixed, due to the years\u2019 wear and tear, this is often inexpensive, cheaper than what you would think.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n

We will show you the ABC of how to clean your jewellery at home<\/strong>, you cannot polish the jewellery at its best with simple tools, due to the lack of professional equipment, not with the same result as a professional, but even a simple cleaning done well often gives great visible results<\/strong>. A little help in polishing Jewellery, can be found using the specific Antioxidant cloths for jewellery, which we sell in the Accessories section and included in the Customer Kit<\/strong><\/span>.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Dirt, dust, grease<\/strong>, are all elements that stick and settle in the hollows and crevices of Jewellery, in particular, accumulated dirt removes a lot of brightness from the Gems in general, in particular fatty substances adhere to Diamonds<\/strong>. If you are used to using your Jewellery (e.g. Diamonds rings), during daily chores like washing dishes or similar, you will notice that before long, these jewels will start to lose their lustre and the Gems will no longer shine as before<\/strong>.<\/p>

In a few simple steps you will learn how to clean Jewellery by yourself<\/strong>.<\/p>

Let’s start by looking carefully at your Jewellery<\/strong> (a magnifying glass would definitely be useful), the first things to check on Jewellery set with Gems<\/strong> (Diamonds<\/a><\/strong> or any other Gem), are the tips that block the Stones, \u00a0these, especially on rings tend to wear out over time<\/strong> (slow wear and tear), when you see that they are particularly thin, you must take it to a professional who will assess what to do. In the picture here on the side is an example of thin tips and not perfectly adherent to the Gems<\/strong>. Sometimes even if the tips are intact the Gems might not be perfectly blocked, with the help of a tiny screwdriver, a pin or anyway a small metal tip<\/span>, lean into the Gem and with moderate and careful strength<\/strong>, try to move from top to bottom, trying to make it rotate on itself<\/strong>, check if it moves slightly; if it is perfectly blocked, it is safe to use, otherwise, it is better to take it to a Goldsmith or Jeweller who will solve the problem.<\/p>

Remember, you will hardly ever lose suddenly a Gem that is well blocked<\/strong>, in most cases, as a result of wear or accidental banging, the Gem will begin to move slightly, then always a bit more over time, until it falls out of its natural setting.<\/div>
The greater value the set Gem has the more I advise you strongly to carry out this check-up regularly<\/strong>.
Other things to check in rings, is the wear and tear of the structure, after many years of use it is possible that the lower part of the ring has thinned out a lot, or that certain areas have particularly worn out.<\/div>

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn jewellery like Gold Bracelets and Necklaces \/ Chains<\/span><\/strong>, the parts that wear out faster are the latches and the links next to it<\/strong>, sometimes even the very first links of the necklace itself<\/span>; you must have them fixed as soon as possible<\/strong>, avoiding the risk of losing them due to the breakage of these worn parts. See how in the picture on the side you can see 3 critical points<\/strong> (those highlighted<\/span>), in the front and rear area you can notice considerable wear<\/strong>, which not only leads to fragility, but also to a risk of sudden breakage<\/strong>. We have also marked another typical problem that occurs on worn latches: in the area of opening and closing, where you enter the final part of the Bracelet or Necklace \/ Chain<\/span>, you can see an abnormal (slit) and very evident<\/strong> slit, which contributes in giving less safety, in case the final link is very worn, probably there is enough space for it to slip out without noticing. This occurrence especially happens in the worn latches of Gold Chains<\/strong>, often overlooked, but among the leading causes of breakage and loss.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The solutions are simple<\/strong>, let\u2019s start with the less serious cases: in the case of a single abnormal slit, it is enough to regulate it with a pair of tweezers, returning the slit to a minimum distance possible, a matter of a minute<\/strong>; in cases of problems linked to wear and tear, you can ask a professional<\/strong>, who will assess the possibility of replacing the hook and strengthening the final links, or reinforcing all the worn areas, without replacing any part<\/span>, also verifying the correct working of the latch. If the job is made well you will have the same security<\/strong> (sometimes even more<\/span>), compared to a new latch. The choice and economic convenience, in preferring a restoring (when possible), to a replacement is directly proportional to the size and weight of the gold latch<\/strong>; therefore, in case of very small latches often we proceed directly to a replacement, but from medium-small latches and above or in case of special latches, personally I prefer restoring<\/strong>.<\/div>\n

We mentioned Gold latches (spring)<\/strong>, let\u2019s explain to well understand this important aspect. Basically, all latches, have within them a Harmonic Steel Spring (better if stainless steel)<\/strong>, over months and years the latches are opened and closed hundreds\/thousands of times, each time putting pressure on the spring. It might happen that this can yield\/ break, as you can see in the example in the picture, usually the spring does not break by itself<\/strong> when you are wearing the piece or when it is placed in its box, but usually, when the spring is stimulated upon opening; it is true, I can acknowledge that this might be very obvious<\/span> and that you might fail to notice. In most cases you can simply replace the spring<\/strong>, which is often more convenient than replacing the entire latch, the reliability of a spring hand-restored by a professional (if done well), must be as great as that of a stock latch<\/strong>, actually, paying attention to certain details, one could create a spring that is even better than the one made in the factory<\/span>; it is up to the artisan to use quality Harmonic Stainless Steel<\/strong>; not everyone uses it because it is not always easy to find. So some \u201csettle\u201d and use standard harmonic steel wire. I prefer not to \u201csettle\u201d, the spring is the Very Important, so it is good to require an intervention with high quality materials<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
