Daily diamond cleaning
Warm water, a small amount of mild dish soap, and a very soft brush are usually enough. Rinse carefully and dry with a lint-free cloth.
Ownership
Care for what it represents.
A few calm habits preserve a piece for the years in front of it. There is no fear in this—only attention.
The everyday
A considered routine.
Remove fine jewelry before exercise, swimming, heavy lifting, household cleaning, and sleep. Store each piece separately in its pouch or presentation case when travelling.
Ultrasonic cleaning
Ultrasonic devices can be unsuitable for pieces with pavé, inclusions, treated stones, or loosened settings. When uncertain, choose gentle hand-cleaning or ask an advisor.
White gold
White gold can be refreshed with professional rhodium plating over time. The timing depends on wear, skin chemistry, and the finish you prefer.
Platinum
Platinum naturally develops a soft patina through wear. It can be polished to a brighter finish if you prefer, without changing what makes the metal platinum.
Yellow gold
A soft cloth and periodic professional inspection preserve the finish. Remove jewelry before tasks likely to scratch or compress the setting.
Pavé and prongs
Fine settings reward regular inspection. A small catch on fabric or a stone that feels loose is a reason to pause wear and arrange a check.
Before you wear it
Put jewelry on after fragrance, skincare, and hair products have settled.
While travelling
Keep each piece separated, carry it with you rather than in checked luggage, and consider independent insurance for travel protection.
Every year
An annual professional inspection can check prongs, settings, clasps, and the condition of the finish before small issues become interruptions.
A year of memories. Time for a checkup.
Make annual care part of ownership.
Obsidian Valley recommends an annual inspection for engagement rings and frequently worn pieces. A Client Concierge can help you arrange an inspection, cleaning, or service question.
