Jewellery Care Guide

At Sohlene, we craft every piece to be treasured for a lifetime and beyond. With the right care, your gold and diamond jewellery will retain its brilliance, beauty, and value for generations. We have put together this guide to help you look after your Sohlene pieces the way they deserve.

Caring for Your Gold

Gold is a timeless, enduring metal — but it does require a little love to stay at its best.

Avoid exposing gold jewellery to harsh chemicals such as bleach, chlorine, and cleaning products, as these can discolour and weaken the metal over time
Remove your gold pieces before swimming, bathing, or using a hot tub — prolonged water exposure can dull its natural lustre
Lotions, perfumes, and hairsprays should be applied before putting on your jewellery, not after
Gold can scratch when it comes into contact with other metals or hard surfaces — store each piece separately to prevent this
To clean at home, gently wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth or use a mild soap solution with warm water and a soft-bristled brush, then pat dry thoroughly

Caring for Your Diamonds

Diamonds are the hardest natural substance on earth — but as we always say, hardness is not the same as toughness.

While diamonds resist scratching, they can chip or fracture if struck at the wrong angle, particularly near the edges (the girdle or culet) — be mindful during physical activity or heavy-handed tasks
Avoid wearing diamond jewellery while exercising, gardening, doing housework, or any activity involving impact or abrasion
Oils, lotions, and everyday grime build up on diamonds quickly and reduce their brilliance — regular gentle cleaning keeps them sparkling
To clean at home, soak briefly in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap, gently scrub with a soft toothbrush, rinse well, and dry with a lint-free cloth
Avoid ultrasonic cleaners at home unless you are certain your stone and setting are suitable — some settings can loosen under vibration
Have your diamond settings checked periodically to ensure prongs are secure and stones are not at risk of loosening

Storage Tips

How you store your jewellery is just as important as how you wear it.

Every Sohlene piece comes with its own Sohlene jewellery pouch — we recommend always storing your piece in it to keep it protected, scratch-free, and looking its best
Store each piece individually to prevent scratching and tangling — never pile pieces together
Keep jewellery away from direct sunlight, humidity, and extreme temperatures, which can affect both the metal and the stones
When travelling, use a dedicated jewellery case or roll to keep pieces safe and secure
Always store your Sohlene pieces with their certificates in a safe place — these are essential documents for insurance, resale, and returns

A Final Note

Your Sohlene piece is more than jewellery — it is an investment and a story. Treating it with care ensures it remains as stunning the day you pass it on as the day it was made. If you ever have questions about caring for a specific piece, we are always here to help.
