Finishes, such as florentine and brushed, can also be put back into the piece. All fine jewelry should be kept away from harsh chemicals, such as cleaning and chlorine types. Also, try to refrain from wearing fine jewelry and watches in chlorinated pools and hot tubs. The chlorine will cause the gold to break down and become brittle. Use jewelry cleaner or have your jeweler clean your pieces.
Gemstones can chip and cleave.
Try to avoid contact with metal and porcelain surfaces. Use common sense to remove your fine jewelry and watches when performing rough work around the home or work. Over time, the silk thread used to string the pearls does break down and needs to be replaced. If you are wearing your pearls on a frequent basis, The Diamond Cellar recommends having pearls restrung every two to three years. Your fine quality timepiece from The Diamond Cellar will need to be cleaned and overhauled during its lifetime.
