Care Guide
Our jewellery has been designed to last a lifetime and with the right care you can maintain its beauty and shine for years to come.
Metal Care
Our metals are made from a mixture of pure gold, platinum, and alloys. Over time, it’s only natural that signs of wear and scratches will build up on your precious metal.
Every Jux Jewellery order comes with a polishing cloth to help maintain shine and buff fine scratches. For larger markings, you are welcome to return your ring to us for a professional polish once a year. To clean your jewellery at home, we recommend soaking it in warm soapy water and buffing dry with a soft cloth to increase its shine.
Exposure to chemicals such as chlorine, ammonia, bleach, sanitisers, perfumes, salt water, hair sprays and certain topical creams, can damage or discolour precious metals.
Always remove your jewellery during physical activity, such as gardening, moving furniture, playing sport, cleaning etc.
Keep your jewellery stored away from sunlight, heat and moisture in a protective jewellery pouch or box. Jux Jewellery pieces come in durable box which is the perfect place to store them.
Diamond Care
Diamonds are extremely durable, in terms of hardness, toughness and stability.
Hardness means how well a gemstone resists scratches and abrasion. Toughness describes how well a gemstone resists breaking and chipping. Stability means how well a diamond resists chemicals and temperature changes.
Whilst they have superior toughness compared to other gemstones, any stone, including a diamond, will break if it’s hit hard enough in the right place.
It is safe to clean your diamond jewellery at home by soaking it in warm water with mild detergent and giving it a gentle scrub. We recommend cleaning your diamond jewellery at least once a fortnight.
Sapphire Care
Natural sapphires are relatively hard (second to diamonds on the Mohs scale) which make them a great choice for mindful everyday wear. Whilst they are relatively tough, they are not bullet-proof and can chip if they receive a hard knock. It is safe to clean your sapphire jewellery at home by soaking it in warm water with mild detergent and giving it a gentle scrub. We recommend cleaning your sapphire jewellery at least once a fortnight.
Zircon Care
Zircon has fair to good toughness. While zircon is not as hard or tough as a stone like sapphire, it can still be worn daily if care is given to avoid rough wearing or hard blows. It is safe to clean your zircon jewellery at home by soaking it in warm water with mild detergent and giving it a gentle scrub. Steam cleans and ultrasonic cleaners are not recommended for cleaning this gem. We recommend cleaning your zircon jewellery once a month.
