How to Clean and Care for Jadeite Jewellery
Jadeite is known for its beauty, durability and natural lustre. With a little regular care, your jadeite jewellery can remain beautiful for many years. The good news is that natural Type A jadeite does not require any complicated cleaning routine.
Cleaning Your Jadeite Jewellery
For everyday care, gently wipe your jadeite jewellery with a clean, soft cloth after wearing it. This helps remove oils, dust and moisture while maintaining its natural lustre.
For jadeite pieces set in 18K gold or diamonds, you may clean them occasionally with clean water and a soft-bristled toothbrush in three simple steps:
- Dip the toothbrush in clean water.
- Gently brush around the setting to remove dirt or dust from the crevices.
- Dry the entire piece thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Avoid abrasive cloths, harsh chemicals and strong household cleaners, as these may scratch or affect the appearance of the gold setting.
Before cleaning your jewellery near a sink, remember to close the sink stopper to prevent the piece from accidentally falling down the drain.
Handle Jadeite with Care
Although jadeite is durable, it can still chip or crack when subjected to strong impact. Avoid dropping your jewellery onto hard surfaces such as concrete or tiled floors. When removing a piece, especially a bangle, do so over a soft surface such as a bed, sofa or folded towel. This helps protect it from hard impact if it accidentally slips from your hand.
Simple Care for Lasting Beauty
Jadeite is easy to care for and does not need special treatment. Gentle cleaning and careful handling are usually all that is needed to maintain its natural lustre.
With these simple habits, your natural Type A jadeite jewellery can remain beautiful and be treasured for years to come. Explore ClassicJade’s collection to find a piece of your own.
