Taking care of your jewelry every day
Diamond jewelry pieces are precious creations that deserve special care every day. To preserve its sparkle and integrity, it is recommended that you remove your piece prior to any activity that might expose it to impact, friction, or significant pressure, such as sports, gardening, or manual labor.
When not being worn, store your jewelry in its box, protecting it from rubbing against other pieces.
Cleaning your diamond jewelry
When worn daily, jewelry can gradually accumulate soap residue, cosmetics, or other impurities that temporarily dull the diamond’s brilliance and may interfere with the mobility of the moving diamonds in Move creations.
To gently clean your jewelry, soak it for a few seconds in lukewarm, lightly soapy water, then use a soft-bristled brush to remove any residue. Rinse it thoroughly with clean water before drying it with a soft cloth.
Regular care helps keep your diamond sparkling and preserves the beauty of your piece.
Getting your jewelry inspected
When worn daily, jewelry can be exposed to minor impacts and friction. Regular inspections help ensure that the stones are secure and preserve the creation’s beauty over time.
If your jewelry catches on clothing, if a stone seems loose, or if you notice any unusual changes, we recommend having it inspected as soon as possible. You can bring it to a Messika boutique or an authorized retailer so that a professional can inspect the setting and overall condition of the piece.
Taking care of your white gold jewelry
Over time, white gold jewelry may naturally lose some of its shine.
White gold is made from an alloy of gold and other metals before being coated with a thin layer of rhodium, which gives it its brilliance and luminous appearance. As a result of friction and regular wear, this finish may gradually fade.
Messika also uses palladium in its white gold alloy to ensure a consistent color over time. When necessary, professional care can restore your jewelry’s shine and finish.
Entrusting your jewelry to Messika experts
To preserve the beauty of your piece for years to come, the experts at Messika can assist you with its care.
Depending on the condition of your jewelry, it can be professionally cleaned to restore its sparkle. If the gold has micro-scratches or if its finish has dulled over time, polishing or rhodium plating may also be considered after the piece has been inspected.
If you have any questions or simply wish to carry out a routine inspection of your jewelry, we invite you to visit a Messika boutique so our experts can assist you.
