Jewellery Care Guide: How to Keep Your Pieces Looking Beautiful for Years

At Georges of Dubai, every piece of jewellery tells a story. Whether it's a meaningful gift, a personal indulgence, or part of your everyday look — caring for your jewellery ensures that story continues to shine. From gold-plated favourites to handmade treasures, here’s how to keep them looking their best.

1. Daily Habits That Protect Your Jewellery

Jewellery is often the last thing you put on — and the first thing you should take off.
To reduce wear and tear:

• Avoid contact with perfume, creams, and hairspray

• Remove pieces before swimming, showering, or exercising

• Store items separately to avoid scratching or tangling

Tip: Even durable pieces need downtime. Giving them a break helps preserve the plating and finish.

2. Storing Jewellery the Right Way

Improper storage is one of the top causes of damage. We recommend:

• Keeping jewellery in a dry, cool place

• Using soft pouches or dedicated jewellery storage boxes with separate compartments

• Hanging necklaces or storing flat to avoid knots

Explore our curated jewellery storage solutions designed for both function and beauty.

3. Cleaning & Polishing Tips

A gentle clean goes a long way — no need for harsh chemicals. Try:

• Using a soft lint-free cloth to gently wipe pieces after each wear

• For gold-plated or delicate items, use warm water and a drop of mild soap with a soft brush

• Avoid ultrasonic cleaners unless specified

Never soak porous stones (like pearls) or vintage components. When in doubt, reach out.

4. Caring for Handmade & Statement Pieces

Many of our collections are handcrafted, meaning each piece is unique and may include delicate elements. Treat them with care:

• Don’t bend or apply pressure on cuffs or large earrings

• Store away from direct sunlight to avoid discolouration

• Handle beaded or woven pieces gently — these are often assembled by hand

5. When to Get in Touch
