Baroque Rocks’ Guide to Jewellery Cleaning and Care
At Baroque Rocks, we treasure our treasures — and like most people, gemstones absolutely adore being lavished with attention and care. Whether you are wearing modern vintage jewels from the 1960s to the early 2000s or cherished heirlooms passed down through generations, thoughtful jewellery care, cleaning and storage are essential if you want your pieces to remain beautiful for decades to come.
There are many factors that influence the condition of jewellery, from everyday wear to how pieces are cleaned and stored. Fear not, ardent treasure seekers — a few simple precautions can help protect gold jewellery, gemstones and vintage jewels, ensuring they remain dazzling for years and perhaps even accompany you gracefully into your dotage as future heirlooms.

In this section of the Baroque Rocks Knowledge Library, we share practical guidance on how to clean jewellery safely, care for delicate gemstones and store jewellery properly. Our guides cover everything from spring cleaning your jewellery collection to the safest ways to clean vintage jewellery and protect gold, pearls and precious gemstones.
We also reveal how proper jewellery storage prevents scratching, tarnish and damage, ensuring every piece in your collection remains ready to sparkle the moment you reach for it. Because when jewels are treated with a little care and attention, they reward their owners with a lifetime of brilliance — and quite possibly a few admiring glances along the way.
