Jewelry Care 101: How to Protect Your Platinum, Gold, and Diamonds

Preserve the Brilliance. Protect the Blessing. Wear Your Legacy.

Fine jewelry is more than fashion - it's a reflection of your covenant, your story, and your stewardship.
Whether it’s a platinum engagement ring, a pair of diamond earrings, or a gold stacking band, these pieces carry weight beyond their metal.

They’re heirlooms. Investments. Sacred symbols of what God has built in your life.

At EK|EE 1913, every piece we offer is crafted to last generations - but that legacy only endures with care.

Here’s how to honor your jewelry with intentional upkeep, so its brilliance endures like your faith.

✨ Cleaning: Keep It Pure, Keep It Holy

Even sacred things need gentle cleansing.

Diamonds
These stones are radiant, but they attract oil and debris. Wash regularly using warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft toothbrush. Harsh cleaners may cloud the brilliance God placed there.

“Create in me a clean heart, O God…” (Psalm 51:10) - and a clean stone to match.

Gold
Gold is soft and symbolic - treated throughout scripture as holy and refined. Avoid abrasives. Soak in warm, soapy water, then gently wipe with a cloth. Chlorine and cleaning products? Leave those behind.

Platinum
Platinum develops a soft patina over time - like grace, it matures with wear. For a brighter look, polish gently with approved products. Never use silver cleaner unless it clearly states compatibility with platinum.

Recommended Rhythm of Care

• Weekly: Light at-home cleaning

• Every few years: Professional inspection and polish

📦 Storage: Honor It When It's Not Worn

Sacred things deserve sacred space.

• Store each piece separately in soft-lined compartments or pouches.

• Diamonds can scratch other stones.

• Gold and platinum should not touch in storage.

Avoid:

• Humidity

• Direct sunlight

• Tossing pieces into drawers or bags

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth... but store up treasures in heaven.” (Matthew 6:19–20)
Still - if He’s blessed you with beauty, treat it as a trust.

🛡️ Wearing: Walk With Wisdom

Even everyday pieces deserve Sabbath rest.

Remove your jewelry when:

• Working out or lifting weights

• Applying lotion, perfume, or hairspray

• Cleaning, cooking, or swimming

• Gardening or using tools

Even your wedding band - your symbol of covenant - will thank you for an occasional break to avoid wear and debris.

🕵️♀️ Inspection: Protect What God Has Given You

Loose prongs. Worn shanks. Thinning bands. These are warning signs.
Like any good steward, you’re called to check what’s precious.

If you feel movement, see gaps, or hear a rattle - pause and protect.
Don’t wear it until it’s professionally inspected.

At EK|EE 1913, our U.S.-crafted jewelry is built for endurance. But we still recommend an annual inspection to protect both form and value.

📜 Insurance: Guard the Gifts That Matter

If your jewelry is valuable - financially or emotionally - insure it like the treasure it is.

Typical homeowner’s policies fall short.
Look for insurance that:

• Covers full replacement value

• Protects against loss, theft, or damage

• Includes heirlooms, customs, and estate pieces

“The prudent see danger and take refuge…” (Proverbs 27:12)
