We'll look after it. Forever.
Warm water. A drop of unscented dish soap. A soft toothbrush. Ninety seconds of gentle scrubbing behind the stone, where lotion and oils collect. Rinse, pat dry with a lint-free cloth. That is the whole ritual. No ammonia, no bleach, no ultrasonic cleaners bought on the internet — they loosen prongs. Do this once a week and your diamond will always look the way it did the day you brought it home.
Every six months, drop your ring at our Bandra atelier for a professional clean and prong check. It takes forty minutes, and we do it while you sip something warm in the studio. Rhodium re-plating (which keeps white gold looking white) is needed every twelve to eighteen months. Both of these — plus prong tightening and re-polishing — are complimentary for as long as you own the piece.
Chlorine (the pool eats prongs faster than you'd imagine). Bleach. Sudden temperature changes. Being stored loose with other jewellery — diamonds scratch other diamonds. Sleeping in your ring is fine on the finger, but never in a pocket or a purse. If the piece has a coloured centre stone — emerald, sapphire, opal — take it off before showering. Warm water pulls oil out of the porous stones and dulls their glow.
Chains snap. Prongs loosen. Rings go out of round. None of these are catastrophes; all of them are fixable — usually within a week. Send us a WhatsApp message with a photo, and we'll tell you if it's a walk-in job or something to courier over. Our repair bench does not distinguish between pieces bought this month and pieces bought a decade ago. If it's Parijat, we look after it.
Gold does not age. Diamonds do not age. What ages is the polish — the mirror finish that catches the eye. Have your rings re-polished every three to five years and they will look the day you bought them, for the next fifty. Care isn't maintenance. It is the quiet act of choosing to keep.
