Jewellery, like any cherished possession, requires regular care and attention to maintain its beauty and integrity. At Bell & Brunt, our expert jewellers are always on hand to assess your pieces for any maintenance that may be needed. Over time, jewellery naturally wears, and without proper upkeep, this wear can compromise the safety of your stones and the overall structure of your pieces.
Why Regular Jewellery Maintenance is Essential
Regular maintenance assessments are crucial in identifying potential issues before they become significant problems. Over time, settings can become loose, increasing the risk of losing precious gems. Worn claws can fail to secure stones properly, leading to potential loss or damage. Broken clasps on necklaces or bracelets can result in accidental drops and loss. Tarnishing, scratching, and metal fatigue are also common issues that can affect the appearance and integrity of your pieces. Our skilled jewellers meticulously inspect your jewellery, checking for loose stones, worn settings and claws, and for any signs of damage. This proactive approach ensures that your valuable items remain secure and intact, preventing the loss of precious stones and the need for more extensive repairs down the line.Â
The Cost of Neglect: What Happens When You Skip Regular Check-Ups
It’s important to note that insurance companies typically do not cover damages caused by wear and tear. This means that if you lose a diamond or the piece is broken due to lack of maintenance, any necessary repairs or replacements will likely come out of your pocket. To avoid these pitfalls and ensure your jewellery remains in pristine condition, regular upkeep is essential.
How Often Should You Get Your Jewellery Inspected?
Jewellery should ideally be inspected by a professional at least once a year to help identify and address issues before they become serious problems. For pieces worn daily, such as engagement rings or wedding rings, more frequent inspections every six months can ensure they remain in top condition.
During these assessments, we also offer cleaning and polishing services to restore the original lustre of your pieces. Our expert jewellers techniques and state-of-the-art equipment guarantee that your jewellery will look as stunning as the day you first wore it.

Entrusting Bell & Brunt with the regular maintenance of your jewellery allows you to enjoy peace of mind, knowing that your treasured items are in expert hands.

DIY Tips for Maintaining Your Jewellery Between Check-Ups
In addition to professional assessments, there are several steps you can take at home to maintain your jewellery. Regularly clean your pieces using a soft brush and mild, soapy water to remove grime and oils from your skin. Be sure to rinse delicately with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. Store your jewellery safely in a clean, dry place, preferably in individual pouches or a lined jewellery box to prevent scratches and tangling. Avoid exposing your jewellery to harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures, and activities that may cause physical damage. By following these simple tips, you can keep your jewellery looking its best between professional cleanings and assessments.
