When you purchase you fine diamond jewellery from a respectable jeweller such as Hancocks Jewellers you can expect to receive a certificate explaining every detail of your purchase. This should include the estimated value, any minute flaws in the stone, the carats and colour. This information is invaluable should anything happen to your fine jewellery. The home owners policy that you have on your home should include a clause on personal belongings and this is where you would have coverage for your jewellery. However, if you have purchased very high quality jewellery such as that sold at Hancocks Jewellers you may find that this coverage is inadequate.

Fine jewellery is more than just an investment. When you purchase fine jewellery pieces you are often spending more than 2000 pounds on the creation. You don’t want your fine jewellery to be damaged by storing it improperly. There are pieces in your collection you may not wear all the time. For these pieces it is important that they are stored properly. The pieces you may wear more often should also be stored to avoid damage. We have a few tips on how to store fine jewellery below.
Silver, though not used as much at Hancocks Jewellers, needs to be kept absolutely dry. You do not want it to be exposed to any water. It should also be kept in a flannel pouch when you are not wearing it. Each silver piece you own of fine jewellery should be kept in a separate pouch. In a humid climate you will want a pouch of desiccant crystals to place inside your storage area to keep the moisture from affecting your silver jewellery.
At Hancocks platinum, white diamond jewellery, white gold, and yellow gold are the most popular settings. These pieces are not as touchy as the silver pieces you may have. The white gold, platinum, and yellow gold can be stored in separate pouches. You don’t have to worry as much about moisture though you can still have the desiccant crystals in the storage place.
Hancocks Jewellers guarantees that your pieces, if properly stored and cared for, will last for several generations. Their bespoke jewellery designs can be heirlooms for generations. To guarantee you of the long lasting fine jewellery store each piece in a separate pouch or cloth area. Most jewellery boxes will have an individual place for each ring, earrings, and necklaces. You may need a few jewellery boxes or just an oversized box. You can also store your fine jewellery in a safe or deposit box for ultimate safety and care.

While it is not recommended that you clean your fine jewellery at home this doesn’t mean you can’t. To protect your fine jewellery and colour stones we will offer you a few tips on how to clean your jewellery at home. Keep in mind you should still have a professional jeweller inspect your fine jewellery at least once a year. Twice a year, for inspections would be better. Hancocks Jewellers will offer you a complimentary cleaning service for your fine jewellery, when purchased from their fine jewellery Manchester store.
If you don’t have the time to get to the store before an event you can clean your own coloured stones. As you may know Hancocks Jewellers sell diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds. Not all cleaning will be the same technique. There are slight differences for coloured stones.
To clean rubies and sapphires you should create a warm solution of water and dishwashing soap. You can also use ammonia and water. This would be a mixture of one part ammonia to six parts water. The soap will help you maintain the lustre of the gems and setting. To help keep the brilliance of the stones a soft toothbrush or cloth can be used to gently move over the stones. After you have dislodged any dirt you should rinse the rings or other coloured stone jewellery you have.
Emeralds are delicate. You should never use an ultrasonic cleaner on emeralds. They are also affected greatly by heat and chemicals. We recommend that you never clean emeralds at home; however if you do attempt to do so use mild water with light soap.
Hancocks Jewellers want you to have your fine jewellery for generations. They will guarantee a safe cleaning and maintenance of your pieces. Seek Hancocks Jewellers the next time you need your coloured stones and fine jewellery cleaned.

Hancocks Jewellers are located in Manchester. They offer several interesting and unique creations in white diamond jewellery. Many of their settings are going to be platinum. To assure that your fine jewellery will be around for several generations it is imperative you take proper care of the platinum jewellery you purchase from a fine jewellery Manchester store, such as Hancocks Jewellers.
Once a year, you are recommended to bring in your platinum jewellery and other fine jewellery pieces to the professionals at Hancocks Jewellers. These professionals will inspect the settings your platinum jewellery has. They will look for any prongs that may have been bent or are no longer in the exact place they should be. If any issue is found they will have the jewellery designers fix the issue. Sometimes we catch our fine jewellery on clothing or other objects that can bend the precious metals, though platinum is a stronger metal than white gold or yellow gold.
The inspection will not be performed until after the fine jewellery has been cleaned. The cleaning process helps to remove any dirt or other build up that may occur during the year. It is a gentle and quick process with an ultrasonic cleaner. Platinum jewellery has a natural patina, which is not the polished finish you may have seen previously. If you enjoy a polished finish during the cleaning process Hancocks Jewellers can revive your polished look. Platinum does not tarnish either, so the cleaning process is mostly to enhance the natural beauty of the platinum.
You can clean your own platinum jewellery if you wish, but it is better to have a professional jeweller complete the cleaning. This way you have an inspection of the platinum jewellery and not just a cleaning on a regular basis. If you clean your own jewellery use a gentle cloth or toothbrush to work the dirt free, combined with a gentle hand.

Some maintenance guides will tell you cleaning your fine diamond jewellery at home is acceptable. We at Hancocks Jewellers believe that caring for your jewellery should be a professional job, but we do understand sometimes you can’t get to the store for cleaning. While it is better to have your fine diamond jewellery cleaned and inspected by a professional, we have some tips that might help you maintain your jewellery at home when needed.
The inspection process fine jewellery goes through checks to make certain the prongs have not been bent or loosened. If you own a loop you can check this for yourself, but it is still imperative that you have the jewellery designers at Hancocks Jewellers fix these issues. Once or twice a year you should have your fine jewellery cleaned and inspected by the professionals at Hancocks Jewellers.
At other times of the year you may decide to clean your fine jewellery. You will need an ultrasonic cleaner or you can clean the jewellery by hand. If you clean your fine jewellery by your hand you should use a very soft toothbrush. This will help to loosen dirt without damaging the jewellery. You don’t want to scrub the jewellery, but move the brush over the jewellery lightly a few times.
You will need a cleaning solution. It should be one part ammonia to six parts water. Once you have cleaned the jewellery make sure you rinse the ring carefully. As you can see cleaning your fine jewellery at home is a gentle job. To avoid losing your diamonds, damaging them, or otherwise damaging your fine jewellery it is recommended not to clean and maintain your fine diamond jewellery at home. Hancocks Jewellers offer a complimentary service cleaning to ensure your fine jewellery is always maintained correctly.
