Some maintenance rules for your vintage necklaces

Like all (fine) jewelry, vintage necklaces authenticated by our expert jewelers need to be maintained according to the rules of the art to preserve their charm and beauty over the long term.

Here's a quick guide to caring for your vintage jewelry, based on their primary material.

Vintage gold necklaces

About once a month, depending on how often you wear your jewelry around your neck, soak it in warm, soapy water for about 3 minutes. Rinse it with clean water, then dry it thoroughly with a soft microfiber cloth.

Do you have white gold necklaces? In this case, consider renewing their rhodium plating with a jeweler every 2 to 3 years.

Vintage silver necklaces

To make your silver necklaces shine, nothing could be simpler: place them in a bowl of cold water and baking soda, soak them for several hours, then rub them gently with a soft cloth or a soft-bristled brush. Rinse them with clean water and dry them with a dry cloth.

Vintage platinum necklaces

Platinum jewelry should be maintained like gold accessories, in a mixture of warm water and mild soap. Then polish them with a microfiber cloth to revive the shine of the platinum. In case of scratches, polish your necklaces to give them a new lease of life with ease.

Vintage Diamond Necklaces

Diamonds can be easily cleaned with warm water and mild soap or ammonia. Soak your jewelry in this mixture for about 20 minutes, then brush each diamond with a soft-bristled brush. Rinse your necklaces with warm water before gently wiping them dry.
