Preservation

Professional cleaning and inspection

Fine jewellery deserves care that matches its beauty. At Adin, we believe that preserving a jewel’s condition is as important as cherishing its history. Our care and maintenance services help ensure that each piece remains as radiant and secure as the day it was created.

Even the finest jewels need gentle attention. We recommend having your jewellery checked at least once a year to make sure the settings are secure, the stones remain firmly in place, and to assess the degree of wear on any part of the jewel. For pieces that allow it, we may carry out a light stress test to ensure that all stones are still properly set. After all, it is better for a stone to come loose here, in a controlled environment, than while being worn in the street. Our specialists clean each piece using techniques appropriate to its age and materials, protecting both the metal and the gemstones.

There is no single way to care for jewellery. Each period, material and gemstone requires its own approach. What is safe for a diamond ring may not be suitable for an antique brooch or a pearl necklace. At Adin, we advise and treat every jewel individually, respecting its composition, fragility and historical character.

Preservation and storage

How a jewel is kept can determine how it ages. We advise storing antique and vintage jewellery separately in soft lined boxes to prevent friction and scratches. Environmental conditions also matter: what benefits one gemstone may harm another. Pearls and opals, for instance, require gentle humidity, while other materials prefer dry conditions. Not all maintenance tips found online are reliable, and some can even cause harm. It is always best to seek professional advice before applying any method you read about. At Adin, we can guide you on the best way to store and maintain each piece according to its specific materials and age.

Restoration and re-evaluation

Over time, certain jewels may need minor restoration or professional adjustment. We can advise whether such work is technically and financially worthwhile. We also offer re-evaluation services every few years to ensure that your insurance values remain accurate and up to date.

A lifelong relationship

Owning an antique jewel means becoming part of its story. By caring for it properly, you ensure that it can continue its journey from one generation to the next. At Adin, we are here to guide you at every stage, from cleaning and inspection to restoration and certification.
