Despite being the hardest naturally occurring substance on Earth, diamonds require care and attention. Below are some of our tips to keep your bespoke Miyazato piece of jewellery looking its best everyday.

Always take off your jewellery when going to the gym or lifting / moving heavy objects. Gold is quite soft and can be scuffed and dented easily. Settings can be delicate and a hard knock can damage them.

Remove your jewellery when cleaning and do not expose it to any harsh cleaning products or chemicals. This will tarnish jewellery over time.

Always remove your ring when applying hand creams or lotions. This is one of the fastest ways to dull the famous sparkle of the diamond in your ring as daily build up of oils/lotions/grease will make the diamond look lacklustre and less fiery.

When travelling or storing your jewellery, ensure pieces are separated and not rubbing against one another. Diamonds can scratch other diamonds and gemstones as well as the metal on your jewellery.

Always remove your jewellery when swimming. Cold water can shrink your finger size marginally and cause a ring to slip off.

At Miyazato, we offer a complimentary annual deep clean and polish of your piece of jewellery. We will also check your stone and settings whilst doing this, and tighten everything up to ensure your jewellery will last a lifetime.

Please email us at hello@miyazatodiamonds.com to arrange this with us.

If you do drop, knock or think you have damaged your ring, the first thing to do is the “tap test”. Hold your ring close to your ear between your thumb and index finger. Tap the shoulder of your ring with your other finger. If you hear a jingle, you may have knocked the setting/claws out of place slightly. Please contact us immediately.

In between your yearly clean, see below our guide for how to clean your jewellery at home and keep it looking beautiful everyday.
