Jewelry that is dirty and un-kept can be a bacteria safe-haven which can contribute to skin irritations, weird allergies and also discoloration and degradation of the metals. Excess dirt can also lead to gemstones becoming scratched. As long as you take care to clean your jewelry the right way, the risks of damaging your jewelry are far less. Rigorous scrubbing, harsh chemicals, and submersion in liquids for too long are all things that can damage your jewelry in the long run. So bringing to your local jeweler for a professional, gentle cleaning on a regular basis can be a great tool to extend the life of your precious jewelry. If you have questions about how to clean or maintain your precious jewelry items - feel free to reach out to us and we would be happy to offer suggestions! All fine jewelry is different depending on the materials and construction, so we are here to offer knowledge and advice. ### How Often Should I Clean My Jewelry How often you clean your diamond rings and other jewelry is dependent on how much you wear them. Diamond rings can withstand more wear and tear than less durable gemstones like opal or emeralds. Since diamonds are more resilient, they can be more aggressively cleaned more often to keep that sparkle. Metal content is also important as the care that white gold needs is different from the care that platinum needs, and so on. If you are wearing your diamond ring every day in situations where it's likely to get dirty, give your ring a quick and gentle scrubbing once every two weeks. Opt for a more thorough cleaning once a month and bring it to your jeweler for a professional cleaning once every six months. You can talk to Gittelson Jewelers (or your local jeweler) about engagement ring cleaner and how to care for your specific jewelry item. ### How do you choose a jeweler you trust? If you have fine jewelry pieces that need to be cleaned or that have been neglected, cleaning is free in the store at Gittelson Jewelers all through the month of October. If you purchased your fine jewelry from your local family jeweler (like Gittelson Jewelers!), inspections and cleanings are included for free for the lifetime of the piece. [**Building a relationship with a jeweler you can trust**](https://gittelsonjewelers.com/2017/08/10/miss-out-never-buy-diamonds-online/#.W7ZFfhNKhTZ), is paramount to the lifespan of your jewelry and an additional benefit to your marriage (if buying wedding rings). Fine jewelry is not indestructible, so care of it just like you do with other precious things in your life. ***As a side note,*** if you have antique jewelry that needs to be cleaned, it's especially important to have a jeweler, like Gittelson Jewelers,  that specializes in vintage and antique pieces when looking to have these items cleaned or repaired.
