Everyday Wear 

For jewelry you wear every day, it is recommended that you clean your jewelry once a month at home, and once every six months at a jeweler. This will help to remove any dirt, oils, and dust that may have accumulated over time. Daily wear can cause dirt and grime to accumulate on your jewelry, which can cause it to become dull and discolored over time. Regularly cleaning your jewelry can extend its life and help to keep it looking its best.

Gold And Silver Jewelry 

If you frequently wear gold or silver jewelry, it should be cleaned every few months, as these softer  metals can oxidize and become dull, especially if they are exposed to sweat or lotions. It’s also important to get gold and silver professionally cleaned by a jeweler, as they will have the right tools and products to make sure it’s properly cared for.

Platinum and Titanium Jewelry 

As platinum and titanium are harder metals, they are less prone to tarnish and can go longer without cleaning. Platinum and titanium jewelry should be cleaned at least once a year.

Pearls and Gemstones 

If your jewelry has any kind of gemstone such as a diamond or a pearl, professional cleaning is paramount. Gems can be very delicate, and jewelers will handle them with the utmost care and caution for the best cleaning. Depending on the frequency of wear, these jewelry items should be cleaned every six months to a year.
