Custom Jewelry Care and Maintenance

Custom Jewelry Care and Maintenance

Your custom jewelry care is an important part of keeping your favorite pieces looking as lovely as the day you first wore them. Whether you own a handcrafted engagement ring, a one-of-a-kind bracelet, or a personalized pendant, caring for these treasures is the best way to preserve their beauty for many years. Think of your jewelry as an investment in your memories — and protecting that investment is easier than you might think.

At Van Adams Jewelers in Snellville, GA, we understand the value of each piece you own. Our friendly team is here to help you with practical and easy ways to keep your treasures looking their very best.

Clean With Care

Your personalized jewelry maintenance begins with gentle cleaning. Dust, oils, and everyday grime can build up on your pieces and cause them to lose their sparkle.

You can use a mild, gentle soap and warm water with a soft brush to clean most gemstones and metals. Be careful around intricate settings or delicate stones like emeralds and opals, which can require extra attention.

Bespoke jewelry cleaning does not have to be complicated — just remember to dry each piece thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth after rinsing.

If you ever feel uncertain about the right cleaning method, Van Adams Jewelers offers in-house cleaning services that help protect your pieces. You can always stop by our showroom in Snellville or visit Van Adams Jewelers to learn more.

Safe Storage at Home

When you take off your favorite pieces at night, put them somewhere safe. A lined jewelry box is perfect for keeping your unique jewelry preservation simple and organized. Soft pouches or dividers will help prevent scratches, especially on softer metals like gold or delicate stones.

Avoid keeping your jewelry in humid spaces like a bathroom counter. Humidity can cause tarnishing over time. Instead, choose a dry spot away from direct sunlight and sudden temperature swings. Keeping your jewelry safe at home is one of the most important habits in custom jewelry care.

Professional Inspections


Have you ever wondered if the prongs on your ring are as strong as they look? Do you worry that the clasp on your necklace might need a tune-up?

Professional check-ups at Van Adams Jewelers in Snellville, GA give you extra peace of mind. Our in-house repair and inspection team looks closely at your pieces and addresses small issues before they grow into big problems.

Every couple with a custom engagement or wedding ring, every collector with a special necklace, and every gift-giver who purchased a personalized bracelet deserves this kind of careful attention. It is part of what we offer at Van Adams Jewelers — making sure your custom-designed jewelry looks just as lovely as the day you picked it up.

Daily Wear Tips for Custom Pieces


You want to wear your pieces often — that is why you chose them! To help keep them in good shape, follow these everyday habits:

  • Remove rings before swimming, showering, or washing dishes.
  • Avoid putting on jewelry after applying perfume, lotion, or hair products.
  • Give your pieces a gentle wipe with a soft cloth after you wear them.

These small habits help your custom-designed jewelry upkeep fit naturally into your daily life. They will also help you enjoy your pieces for a long time.

When to Seek Repairs


Sometimes accidents happen. Maybe you hit your ring on a countertop, or you feel a clasp starting to catch. Do not wait too long — take your piece to Van Adams Jewelers and let our skilled in-house jewelers check it.

Your investment deserves timely attention so you can continue to wear your favorite custom pieces with confidence. Being proactive is one of the best things you can do for unique jewelry preservation.

Special Considerations for Custom Designs


Each custom design is unique — and so are its care needs. Personalized jewelry often features one-of-a-kind shapes, intricate engravings, or a mix of metals. Our team at Van Adams Jewelers in Snellville is happy to recommend special instructions just for you.

We can also help you choose protective options like ring guards or special finishes if you want added durability. This attention to detail is part of the personalized service that sets Van Adams Jewelers apart.

Your Trusted Partner in Custom Jewelry Care


Caring for your treasured pieces is all about attention and patience. By treating your custom jewelry with respect and checking in with a professional jeweler when needed, you help keep every stone, every clasp, and every curve looking its best.

When you choose Van Adams Jewelers, you are choosing a trusted team that has been voted Best of Gwinnett County for nine years and named Best Jewelry Store in Georgia by the Georgia Business Journal.
