Jewellery Care Guide
At Keanis, every piece is crafted to balance elegance with everyday wearability. Whether it’s a cherished engagement ring or a signature piece you never take off, a little mindfulness will help preserve its beauty for a lifetime. With thoughtful care — and our included polishing cloth and travel pouch — keeping your jewellery radiant has never been easier.
Everyday Jewellery Care
Fine jewellery is made to be worn and loved — but a few mindful habits will keep it looking its best for years to come. Follow these simple tips to preserve the beauty and craftsmanship behind every piece.
-
Remove and protect
Take off your jewellery before showering, exercising, or sleeping to avoid unnecessary wear and tear. Exposure to lotions, perfumes, and chemicals can dull shine and weaken settings over time — so make your jewellery the last thing you put on, and the first thing you take off.
-
Layer with intention
When wearing multiple pieces, take care that they don’t rub or tangle. Friction can cause surface scratches — especially on polished metals and softer stones. This simple habit helps preserve the finish, shape, and that signature Keanis sparkle.
-
Polish with care
Every Keanis order includes a professional-grade polishing cloth. Use it after each wear to gently buff your jewellery and restore its natural shine — a simple ritual that keeps your forever piece looking its finest.
-
Even the most radiant jewellery benefits from a gentle refresh now and then. You can safely restore its sparkle with just a few essentials.
-
Soak and gently clean
Mix warm water with a drop of mild dish soap. Let your jewellery soak for 15–20 minutes, then gently brush it with a soft-bristled toothbrush — especially around settings.
-
Rinse and dry
Rinse well in clean water and pat dry using a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid paper towels or tissues, as they may leave scratches or residue.
-
Skip harsh methods
Ultrasonic or steam cleaners may seem effective, but they can be too harsh for thin settings or softer stones. Only use them when you’re certain your piece is suited to it — or better yet, leave it to us.
Cleaning at home
-
How you store your jewellery matters just as much as how you wear it. Treat every piece like a keepsake.
-
Keep it cool and dry
Store your jewellery away from direct sunlight, moisture, or extreme temperatures to maintain its lustre and prevent tarnish.
-
One piece, one place
Each piece deserves its own space — ideally in its original Keanis jewellery box, where it’s cushioned and protected from contact with others.
-
Travel with care
When travelling, a dedicated jewellery case with separate compartments or our travel pouch will keep your collection secure and tangle-free.
Storage and protection
-
While regular home care keeps your jewellery looking its best, occasional expert attention helps ensure it remains just as beautiful as the day you first wore it.
-
Complimentary services
Every Keanis piece includes lifetime professional cleaning and setting inspections. We recommend this once a year — especially for engagement rings or frequently worn pieces. Simply reach out, and we’ll guide you through every step.
-
Lifetime care, always
Whether you’re returning for a refresh or a repair, our team treats every piece with the same care and craftsmanship that went into making it.
Professional care and maintenance
Why different materials need different kinds of care
Each element in your jewellery — whether it’s a lab-grown diamond, a richly coloured gemstone, or a precious metal like 18K gold or platinum — has its own unique properties. These differences affect how each piece should be cleaned, stored, and handled.
01
Lab grown diamond
As durable and brilliant as their mined counterparts, lab-grown diamonds are made to last — but their surface naturally attracts oils from skin and products, which can dull their sparkle over time.
- Gently wipe your diamond with the included Keanis polishing cloth after each wear to remove buildup and restore its shine.
- For a deeper clean, ultrasonic cleaners are safe and effective for most diamond-only pieces — just ensure your setting is secure.
- You’re always welcome to visit us or get in touch for a professional clean, complimentary for life with your purchase.
02
Coloured gemstones
Emeralds, sapphires, rubies, and Paraiba garnets bring vivid colour and individuality to your jewellery. While they are durable and well-suited to everyday wear, they are not as hard as diamonds and require a gentler touch.
- Avoid ultrasonic cleaning, particularly for emeralds, which are more porous and delicate.
- Clean gently with lukewarm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth.
- After each wear, wipe your piece with the Keanis polishing cloth to remove any residue and keep it gleaming.
03
Precious metal
Our jewellery is crafted in solid 18K gold or platinum — durable, precious metals chosen for their lasting beauty. With time, gentle surface marks or a soft patina may develop — a natural sign of wear that adds character and tells your piece’s story.
- Gently polish using the polishing cloth included with your order to restore surface shine.
- Avoid harsh household chemicals like chlorine or bleach, which can degrade metal over time.
- As with all fine metals, store separately to avoid surface scratches and preserve the finish.
