Your Jewelry, Your Legacy
Deeve jewelry is crafted to be worn, loved, and passed down. Each piece—whether solid 14K or 18K gold, or set with IGI-certified lab-grown diamonds—is designed to hold its beauty for a lifetime. With proper care, your heirloom will continue to reflect its brilliance, heritage, and meaning for generations to come.
Caring for Solid Gold Jewelry
Why Solid Gold Lasts
Solid 14K and 18K gold are exceptionally durable, but like all precious metals, they benefit from gentle maintenance. Daily wear, lotions, soaps, and natural skin oils can soften their shine over time.
How to Clean Solid Gold
To restore the natural warmth of your gold pieces, soak them in warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap. Gently brush using a soft-bristle brush, rinse thoroughly, and pat dry with a lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive materials that may scratch the surface.
Preventing Wear
Remove gold jewelry before swimming, showering, intense exercise, or using household cleaners. Chlorine and harsh chemicals can dull the surface of gold over time.
Caring for Lab Grown Diamond Jewelry
Understanding Lab-Grown Diamonds
Lab-grown diamonds share the same chemical structure, brilliance, and durability as mined diamonds. They are designed to sparkle endlessly—but like all diamonds, they collect oils and residue with daily wear.</p>
How to Clean Lab-Grown Diamonds
Use warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush to lift oils and buildup from around the setting. Be sure to clean underneath the stone, where residue tends to accumulate and reduce brilliance.</p>
Safe Handling
Avoid touching the diamond directly with your fingers—natural oils can dull its sparkle. When removing your ring or earrings, hold them by the band or metal frame.
Storage & Protection
Storing Your Pieces Properly
Store jewelry in individual soft-lined pouches or compartments to prevent scratching. Gold is a soft metal, and contact with other jewelry—even diamonds—can leave marks.</p>
Traveling with Fine Jewelry
Always keep pieces in a structured travel case. Fasten clasps and secure chains to avoid tangles or bending during transport.</p>

How to Care for Your Fine Jewelry | Expert Tips from Deeve
Keep Your Solid Gold & Diamond Jewelry Beautiful for Life
Proper jewelry care ensures your solid gold pieces and lab-grown diamonds maintain their brilliance, durability, and heirloom quality for generations. At Deeve, we craft every piece to last a lifetime—and with the right care routine, your fine jewelry will continue to look as stunning as the day you received it.
Daily Care for Solid Gold Jewelry
Gold is naturally durable, but daily wear can expose it to oils, lotions, and environmental factors. Follow these simple practices:
- Remove jewelry before showering, swimming, exercising, or applying lotions
- Store pieces separately to prevent scratching and tangling
- Avoid harsh chemicals like chlorine, bleach, and household cleaners
- Put jewelry on last after applying makeup, perfume, and hairspray
- Wipe gently with a soft cloth after each wear to remove oils
Cleaning Your Gold & Diamond Jewelry at Home
Regular cleaning keeps your jewelry sparkling and prevents buildup:
For solid gold and lab-grown diamonds:
- Mix warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap
- Soak jewelry for 10–15 minutes
- Gently scrub with a soft-bristle toothbrush (avoid hard bristles)
- Rinse thoroughly under warm running water
- Pat dry with a lint-free cloth
Pro tip: Clean your jewelry every 2–4 weeks for optimal shine.

- Remove jewelry before bed to avoid damage during sleep
When to Remove Your Jewelry
Protect your fine jewelry by removing it during:
- Swimming (chlorine and saltwater can damage gold)
- Exercising or heavy physical activity
- Cleaning with household chemicals
- Applying lotions, perfumes, or hairspray
- Sleeping (prevents bending or breaking delicate pieces)
- Showering (soap buildup can dull diamonds)
Signs Your Jewelry Needs Professional Care
Bring your jewelry to Deeve if you notice:
- Loose stones or prongs
- Bent or damaged clasps
- Dull or scratched surfaces
- Tangled or kinked chains
- Missing stones or settings
- Discoloration or tarnish
Our expert goldsmiths will inspect, repair, and restore your jewelry to its original beauty—backed by our lifetime warranty.
Caring for Lab-Grown Diamonds
Lab-grown diamonds are chemically identical to mined diamonds and require the same care:
- Clean regularly with warm soapy water
- Avoid ultrasonic cleaners at home (leave this to professionals)
- Store separately to prevent scratching other jewelry
- Have prongs inspected annually to ensure stones are secure
Lab-grown diamonds maintain their brilliance indefinitely with proper care—just like natural diamonds.
