How to Care, Clean, and Store Your Jewelry - A Luxury Guide from Dubai

Fine jewelry is more than an accessory it’s an investment, a memory, and often a legacy. At Multi Gems & Jewellery, we believe every gemstone and diamond deserves the highest level of care to preserve its brilliance for generations. Whether it’s your everyday pieces or rare natural gemstone jewelry in Dubai, proper cleaning and storage will keep your treasures looking radiant forever.

How to Clean Gemstone Jewelry at Home

The internet is full of DIY cleaning “hacks” like toothpaste, baking soda, vinegar, or even ketchup but these can do more harm than good. For safe cleaning of your jewelry, trust the time-tested method:

1. Soak your jewelry in a cup of warm water with a drop of mild dish soap.
2. Use a soft toothbrush to gently scrub, especially behind the setting.
3. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
4. Dry with a soft, lint-free cloth for a flawless shine.

💡 Pro Tip: Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can scratch gold, silver, or softer gemstones like emeralds or tanzanites.

Professional Cleaning Options

For diamond jewelry and durable gemstones like sapphires or rubies, ultrasonic and steam cleaners can safely restore brilliance. However, softer stones such as emeralds or pearls should never be exposed to high heat or vibration.

At Multi Gems & Jewellery, Dubai, our expert jewelers offer professional cleaning and inspection services, ensuring your stones remain secure and luminous without risk.

Jewelry Care: Daily Dos & Don’ts

To maintain the elegance of your jewelry, follow these care tips:

Proper storage is essential to prevent scratches, dullness, and damage:
