Jewellery Care 101: Why Regular Checks Matter
Your fine jewellery isn't just an accessory โ it's a treasured piece of craftsmanship, often holding deep sentimental or monetary value. Whether it's your engagement ring, a push gift, or a cherished heirloom, every piece deserves proper care to ensure it lasts a lifetime (and beyond!).
๐ Why Jewellery Needs Regular Checks
Jewellery is made to sparkle and shine, but itโs also subject to daily wear and tear โ even more so for rings, bracelets, or pieces worn frequently. Over time, small but important components such as prongs, clasps, and chains can weaken.
Some common issues include:
-
Worn-down prongs that no longer hold gemstones securely
-
Loose stones from daily knocks or impacts
-
Discoloured or thinning bands from chemical exposure or constant wear
-
Stretched or broken chains and clasps
These changes can happen so gradually that theyโre hard to notice โ until itโs too late.
๐ ๏ธ Importance of Sending Jewellery for Professional Checks
We recommend bringing your jewellery in for a professional check and clean every 6โ12 months. During a check, we:
-
Inspect prongs and stone settings for wear
-
Check for loose gemstones or damaged components
-
Give your piece a professional polish and ultrasonic clean
This not only restores the sparkle but helps prevent costly repairs or worse โ loss of your gemstone due to unnoticed damage.

At Bennyโs Gems Creations, we stand by our craftsmanship. However, regular wear and tear is not covered under our warranty, as itโs a natural result of use over time. Just like cars need oil changes and servicing, jewellery needs care and maintenance too.
