How do I Care for My Platinum Jewelry?

HOW DO I CARE FOR MY PLATINUM JEWELRY

·         Store pieces separately in a jewelry box or chamois bag so they don’t get scratched by other items of jewelry.

·         Remove your platinum jewelry when doing manual work.

·         Don’t handle bleach or harsh chemicals when wearing platinum jewelry.  Although they won’t hurt the platinum, chemicals may discolor gemstones.

·         Clean platinum periodically in the same way you clean other fine jewelry ~ using a pre-packaged jewelry cleaner or by soaking it in a mild solution of soap and warm water, and then gently rubbing it with a soft cloth.

·         Have your platinum jewelry professionally cleaned at Stanley’s Jewelry Gemologists once in a while.  For platinum jewelry set with gemstones, be sure to do this every six months.

·         If looked after properly, your platinum jewelry should not need to be repaired.  For adjustments, resizing, polishing, and cleaning look for a qualified jeweler with a platinum trained bench jeweler.  Stanley’s is fortunate to have such a bench jeweler on staff.
