“Every piece of jewellery tells a story, and caring for it keeps that story shining bright.” — Hong Wid, Founder, Unicorn Diamond International

The Beauty of a Clean Sparkle
Every piece of jewellery carries a memory — a promise, a celebration, a milestone. But as life happens, so does the build-up of soap, perfume, lotion, and even your skin’s natural oils. These can leave a fine layer on gold, silver, and gemstones, softening their brilliance over time.
Regular cleaning is not just about how your jewellery looks. It is about helping it stay strong, secure, and luminous for years to come.
How Often Should You Clean Your Jewellery?
Here is a simple guide from our jewellers at Unicorn Diamond International:
Type of Jewellery | Home Cleaning | Professional Cleaning |
|---|---|---|
Engagement or Wedding Rings | Every 2 to 4 weeks | Every 6 to 12 months |
Everyday Necklaces or Earrings | Every 1 to 2 months | Once a year |
Occasional Wear Pieces | Before and after wearing | As needed |
Heirloom or Antique Jewellery | Gently wipe after each use | Professional inspection yearly |
If you wear it often, you should clean it often. A few minutes of care can go a long way.
When Your Jewellery Needs Cleaning
You will know it is time for a refresh when you notice:
The metal looks dull or darker than usual
Stones appear cloudy or lack sparkle
Dirt or lotion build-up behind gemstones
The surface feels rough instead of smooth
Your skin shows a faint discolouration after wearing
If any of these signs appear, give your jewellery a gentle home clean or bring it to us for professional care.
Regular Care for Lasting Beauty

Think of jewellery care as skincare. Consistent, gentle attention keeps it glowing for a lifetime. A simple routine can make all the difference:
Wipe after each wear with a soft cloth
Remove before swimming, showering, or sleeping
Store each piece in a soft pouch or compartment to prevent scratches
Small habits today protect your treasures for tomorrow.
When to Seek Professional Cleaning
Even with proper home care, a professional cleaning once or twice a year helps maintain your jewellery’s brilliance. At Unicorn Diamond International, our expert jewellers:
Deep clean to remove hidden dirt and residue
Inspect prongs and settings for security
Polish the surface to restore its mirror-like shine
I like to think of this as a health check for your jewellery — a way to ensure it stays safe, strong, and stunning.
