Jewelry Care Tips: How to Keep Your Gold & Diamonds Sparkling in Oman's Climate

Oman's climate can be tough on fine jewelry. Between the heat, humidity, and occasional exposure to perfumes and sweat, your gold and diamond pieces need a little extra care to keep their brilliance. At Amtur Gold & Diamond – Ruwi, Muscat, we want your treasures to last a lifetime. so here are our top care tips for protecting your jewelry in the Gulf’s unique weather.

1. Clean Your Jewelry Regularly at Home

Dust, oils, and sweat can dull the shine of both gold and diamonds. A gentle clean once a week makes a big difference.

How to do it:
Soak your piece in lukewarm water mixed with mild dish soap for 15 minutes. Use a soft toothbrush to clean behind stones and inside crevices. Rinse and dry with a microfiber cloth.

Avoid harsh chemicals or toothpaste as they can scratch the surface.

2. Store Jewelry Properly, Especially in Summer

High humidity can cause tarnishing and buildup, especially with pieces you don’t wear every day.

Tip:
Store each item in a soft pouch or separate jewelry box section. Keep away from sunlight and store in a cool, dry place with silica gel packets if possible.

3. Remove Jewelry Before Showering, Swimming, or Working Out

Water, chlorine, and sweat can dull gold and loosen stones. It’s always best to remove rings, bangles, and earrings before:

• Showering

• Going to the beach or pool

• Exercising or working in the heat

4. Avoid Perfume & Lotion Contact

Fragrances and lotions are part of daily life in Oman — but they contain alcohol and oils that can damage jewelry over time.

Best practice:
Apply perfumes, deodorants, and creams before wearing your jewelry. Let your skin dry completely first.

5. Schedule a Professional Polish & Check-Up

Just like a car needs a service, jewelry needs occasional professional care.

At Amtur Gold & Diamond, we offer:

• Polishing

• Stone tightening checks

• Chain and clasp inspections

We recommend doing this once or twice a year, especially if you wear your pieces often.

Keep Your Jewelry as Bright as Your Memories

With a little extra care, your gold and diamonds can remain as radiant as the day you bought them. Whether it’s a bridal set, a gift, or an everyday necklace, proper care protects your investment, and your memories.
