Keep your Gold, Diamond, and Silver jewellery shining for generations. At Chandukaka Saraf, every piece is crafted with care, meant to be worn, loved, and passed down. To help your jewellery stay as radiant as the day you bought it, we've curated this complete Jewellery Care Guide — practical, easy-to-follow, and based on our nearly 200 years of heritage craftsmanship. Whether it's Gold, Diamonds, or Silver, here's everything you need to know about cleaning, storing, maintaining, and protecting your jewellery.

Gold Jewellery Care

Keep your Gold glowing with simple, everyday habits.

How to clean gold jewellery at home:

• Mix lukewarm water + mild detergent
• Soak your jewellery for 5–7 minutes
• Gently clean using a soft brush (never scrub hard)
• Rinse in clean water and pat dry with a soft cloth

Avoid:

• Perfumes and deodorants directly on jewellery
• Chlorinated water (swimming pools)
• Wearing gold during workouts or household work
• Storing multiple gold pieces together — they scratch easily

Store Gold properly:

• Keep each item in a separate soft pouch
• Use anti-tarnish cloth for long-term storage
• For necklaces, keep chains fastened to avoid tangles

Professional tip:

Visit your nearest Chandukaka Saraf store for Gold polishing.

Diamond Jewellery Care

Diamonds shine brightest when they're clean and protected.

How to clean Diamond jewellery:

• Use a soft baby toothbrush with warm soapy water
• Clean gently around the prongs and underside of stone
• Dry using a lint-free microfiber cloth

Protect your diamonds:

• Never expose to lotions, makeup, perfume, or hairspray
• Avoid ultrasonic cleaners for delicate diamond settings
• Get prongs checked once every 6 months

Storage:

• Store diamonds separately in velvet-lined boxes
• Keep away from other stones to prevent scratching

Tip:
Diamonds lose shine due to everyday oils — a quick monthly cleaning keeps brilliance intact.

Silver Jewellery Care

Silver tarnishes naturally — here's how to keep it bright.

Home cleaning method for silver:

• Mix warm water + mild soap
• Use a soft polishing cloth
• For heavy tarnish:
  • Use a professional silver cleaning solution
  • Gently dip the jewellery as per product instructions
  • Rinse and pat dry with a soft cloth

Do not use:

• Toothpaste (too abrasive)
• Harsh chemical cleaners
• Tissues or rough cloth

Storage tips:

• Always store in air-tight pouches or zip bags
• Add silica gel or anti-tarnish strips

• Keep away from perfumes and hair sprays
• Wipe beads gently with a dry cloth
