Shopping

• Store pieces separately, in a jewelry box or chamois bag so they don't get scratched by other items of jewelry.
• Keep your precious pieces in a safe place and remember to have them sufficiently insured. If you are unsure about the value of your piece take it to your local jeweler for valuation.
• Clean your platinum jewelry periodically. This will help ensure its fine appearance and will help it last.
• Clean platinum in the same way you clean other fine jewelry - using a pre-packaged jewelry cleaner or by soaking it in a mild solution of soap and warm water then gently rubbing it with a soft cloth.
• Have your platinum jewelry professionally cleaned once in a while. For platinum jewelry set with gemstones, be sure to do this every six months.
• Find a qualified jeweler for adjustments, resizing, polishing and cleaning.
• Ensure your jeweler has a platinum trained bench worker.
• Take your platinum piece to a qualified jeweler for polishing if visible scratches appear. All precious metals can scratch and platinum is no exception. However, the scratch on platinum is merely a displacement of the metal and none of its volume is lost.
• Be aware that, over time, platinum develops a natural patina that many people prefer over the "just polished" appearance. When this happens, you can take your piece to a qualified jeweler to have it re-polished to a high gloss look.
• Don't leave your platinum jewelry on when doing home cleaning, gardening and other types of heavy work or manual labor.
  
• Don't handle bleach or harsh chemicals when wearing platinum jewelry. Although they won't hurt the platinum, chemicals may discolor diamonds or gemstones.
