At Unicorn Diamond International Malaysia, we believe that every sparkle tells a story. Each piece you own is more than a design; it is a memory, a moment, and a reflection of you. With a little care and attention, your jewellery can shine as brightly as the day you first wore it.
“Your jewellery tells your story — every sparkle holds a memory.” - Hong Wid, Founder, Unicorn Diamond International
So, how to clean your jewellery?
Every piece we create is designed to last a lifetime, but even the finest jewellery needs a gentle touch. With just a few simple steps, you can keep your gold, diamonds, and gemstones looking radiant and full of life. Let's delve into approaches for taking care of your jewellery.
Step 1: Know What You Are Cleaning
Different materials require different methods of care. Always take a moment to identify what your jewellery is made of before you begin.
Type | Safe for Home Cleaning | Special Notes |
|---|---|---|
18K Gold / Platinum | Yes | Use gentle soap and water |
Diamonds / Sapphires | Yes | Strong & Balanced |
Pearls / Opals / Emeralds | Be Cautious | Avoid soaking or strong chemicals |
If you are unsure, always clean gently or bring your jewellery to us for professional care.
Step 2: The Gentle Home Cleaning Method
You do not need fancy tools to keep your jewellery beautiful. Here is what you will need:
Warm water
A few drops of mild dish soap
A soft toothbrush (a baby toothbrush works perfectly)
A lint-free cloth
How to clean your jewellery:
Fill a small bowl with warm, soapy water.
Soak your jewellery for about 10 to 15 minutes.
Use a toothbrush to gently clean behind gemstones and settings.
Rinse carefully under clean water.
Pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
Step 3: What to Avoid
Even 18K gold needs care. To keep your jewellery safe, avoid:
Harsh chemicals such as bleach, chlorine, or acetone
Ultrasonic cleaners, if your jewellery has delicate stones
Wearing jewellery in the shower or swimming pool
Storing multiple pieces together, as they may scratch one another
Step 4: Give Your Jewellery a Professional Spa Day
Once or twice a year, treat your jewellery to a professional cleaning. At Unicorn Diamond International Malaysia, we offer:
Deep ultrasonic cleaning
Tightening of loose stones or settings
Surface polishing to restore brilliance
These services help maintain your jewellery’s natural shine and ensure its durability over time.
Step 5: Everyday Habits That Preserve Shine
A few mindful habits can make a world of difference:
Remove rings before chores or applying lotion
Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or box
Wipe gently with a clean cloth after each wear to remove oils and moisture
“Take care of your jewellery and it will take care of your sparkle.” — Hong Wid, Founder, Unicorn Diamond International
Because Every Sparkle Matters
Your jewellery represents the moments that matter most. We are here not only to design your perfect piece, but also to help you care for it with love and intention. With regular cleaning and care, your jewellery will continue to reflect your story for years to come.
