Our gold pieces are made from solid 9k, 14k, or 18k gold, each one blending pure 24k gold with refined alloys to create the perfect balance of durability and elegance.

Over time, your jewellery will naturally develop subtle marks and a softened finish — gentle reminders of the moments you’ve lived in it. These changes are part of what makes each piece uniquely yours.

To keep your gold glowing, simply soak it in warm, soapy water, dry it with a soft cloth, or use a jewellery polishing cloth for a quick refresh. For a deeper clean, an ultrasonic cleaner can be used safely to restore brilliance.

If you wear 9k gold, try to avoid contact with chlorine and harsh chemicals found in pools, hot tubs, and cleaning products. Because 9k gold includes alloys like copper and silver, exposure to these substances can gradually weaken the metal.

With a bit of mindful care, your gold jewellery will continue to shine — growing more beautiful with every wear.

Sterling silver naturally changes over time. How you wear it, your skin’s chemistry, and how it’s stored all influence the finish your piece develops.

Silver also benefits from regular wear. The natural oils from your skin can help slow tarnishing and keep the metal looking bright.

When your piece needs a refresh, a quick dip in a silver cleaning solution or a gentle polish with a soft silver cloth will restore its shine. You’re also welcome to book an appointment to bring your jewellery in for a professional clean and polish.

To protect the metal, avoid contact with chlorine and harsh chemicals commonly found in swimming pools, hot tubs, and cleaning products, as these can weaken and damage silver.

Please note: tarnish, light scratches, and natural changes in tone are normal with sterling silver and are not covered under our 24‑month warranty.

Platinum is one of the most durable precious metals — naturally white, dense, and highly resistant to tarnish. Its strength and weight give it a distinctive feel, making it a reliable choice for everyday wear and long‑lasting pieces.

Over time, platinum develops a soft surface finish known as a patina. This subtle change is a normal characteristic of the metal. If you prefer a brighter finish, the piece can be professionally re‑polished to restore a high shine.

To clean platinum, use warm soapy water and a soft cloth, or a jewellery cleaning solution suitable for precious metals. An ultrasonic cleaner can also be used to remove built‑up residue.

Although platinum is very durable, it’s still best to avoid contact with harsh chemicals such as chlorine or bleach, which can affect the surface finish. Storing pieces separately in a soft pouch or lined box will help reduce surface marks.

Surface marks and the development of a patina are normal characteristics of platinum and are not covered under our 24‑month warranty

At Adina Jozsef, we take pride in creating highly polished jewellery designed to be worn and enjoyed for years to come. While each piece is crafted for everyday wear, exposure to cleaning products, perfumes, and chlorine can gradually affect the surface over time — particularly sterling silver and rhodium‑plated jewellery, which may tarnish or lose their bright finish.

A common sign that rhodium plating is wearing is a slight yellowing around the ring band. This is a normal part of wear and can be restored with professional polishing and replating. Our rhodium polishing and replating services start from $120, with each piece individually assessed to achieve the best possible result.

Yellow gold and platinum do not require rhodium plating. Instead, a professional polish can restore their natural shine. Polishing services start from $85 for gold or platinum, depending on the design and condition of the piece.

We also offer a comprehensive jewellery inspection service, where we check the integrity of settings, ensure stones and pearls remain secure, and identify any early signs of wear.

If your jewellery has lost some of its sparkle or you would like a professional assessment, you’re welcome to call or contact us. We would be pleased to help restore your pieces to their original brilliance

Keeping your jewellery looking its best, regular gentle cleaning and mindful care will help preserve its finish and longevity.

• Clean your jewellery regularly using warm water, a few drops of mild detergent, and a soft toothbrush to remove everyday dirt, oils, and residue. After cleaning, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft, lint‑free cloth to restore its shine. Avoid soaking porous gemstones such as opals, pearls, and emeralds.
• Store each piece separately in its original packaging or a soft‑lined jewellery box to help prevent scratches, tangling, and tarnishing.
• Remove jewellery before sleeping, swimming, or showering to minimise exposure to chemicals and unnecessary wear. It is also best to put jewellery on last after applying perfumes, lotions, or other beauty products.
• Inspect your jewellery from time to time for loose stones, worn clasps, or signs of wear. For ongoing care, we recommend bringing your jewellery to our studio every 12–18 months for a professional assessment, polish, and refurbishment.
• An ultrasonic cleaner can also be used to remove built‑up residue and restore brilliance; however, it should not be used for porous gemstones such as pearls, opals, or emeralds.
• With thoughtful care, your jewellery will remain beautifully polished, secure, and ready to be enjoyed for many years to come.

To help preserve the beauty and integrity of your jewellery, we recommend avoiding the following:

• Avoid exposing jewellery to chemicals such as perfumes, lotions, cleaning products, or chlorine, as these can corrode metals and dull the appearance of gemstones.
• Do not use acidic substances such as vinegar, gin, or cola to clean jewellery, as these can damage finishes and weaken metal settings.
• Remove jewellery before physical activities such as exercising, gardening, or heavy lifting to prevent knocks, scratches, or bending.
• Avoid placing jewellery on hard or abrasive surfaces, which may cause dents, scratches, or unnecessary wear.
• Take care when wearing delicate rings or bracelets while carrying heavy bags, as pressure can distort or misshape the metal.
• A little preventative care will help maintain the condition, structure, and appearance of your jewellery for years to come.

• Silver can tarnish (turn dull or grey) over time, especially if unworn or stored against other jewellery.
• Remove tarnish using a non-abrasive silver polishing cloth or liquid silver dip (available at supermarkets or some shoe repair shops).
• Use silver dip sparingly — overuse can damage your jewellery.

• Excluding opals, pearls, and emeralds (as these are porous), you can safely clean most jewellery using this method.
• Soak the piece briefly in a bowl of warm water mixed with a mild liquid detergent and a spoonful of cloudy ammonia.
• Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently clean the surface and reach behind any stone settings.
• Avoid hard or new toothbrushes, which can scratch metal surfaces.
• Rinse thoroughly under running water to remove all residue.
• Dry carefully with a soft, lint-free cloth.
• Take extra care with claw-set diamonds, as the claws may catch on certain fabrics.

• Always put on pearl jewellery last — after dressing, styling hair, and applying makeup or perfume.
• Avoid wearing pearls while bathing and allow creams or perfumes to fully absorb before wearing.
• After wearing, wipe pearls with a lint-free cloth to remove surface dirt and gently polish them.
• Clean pearls using a mild detergent and water solution with a soft cloth.
• Avoid chemicals, strong soaps, and abrasive materials.
• Let pearls air dry naturally after cleaning.
• Store pearls in a soft bag made of leather, velvet, or similar material to prevent scratching.
• If worn regularly, have strands re-strung annually (a 40 cm strand typically costs around $75 and up).
• Check older or unworn pearl necklaces for signs of wear or fraying before use.
