The Ultimate Valentine's Day Jewelry Care and Gift Guide
This Valentine’s Day, you may be thinking about giving your loved one something that shines, sparkles, and stands out from the crowd. You might be looking for a piece of jewelry as timeless as your love. You’ll want something strong—something that has longevity to last a lifetime. Or perhaps you may have already gifted your partner the perfect piece, but you want to ensure it can withstand years of wear and won’t drastically lose value.
Many jewelers see increased foot traffic in their stores before February 14th. It’s a popular time for gifting ornate jewelry. However, at The Diamond Room, many customers may not realize the full breadth of our services and how we can help you not only find the perfect piece but also offer tips for care or even potential upgrades on the diamonds.
This Valentine’s Day, consider the full scope of what it means to gift jewelry. Discover all the details of purchasing, caring for, and upgrading your accessories.
Jewelry appraisals
At The Diamond Room, we believe the jewelry that you buy from us is invaluable, so we want to help you protect it. We offer complimentary appraisal services, ensuring you know its worth. We can also evaluate your family heirlooms for a small fee. In doing so, you can include your jewelry in your insurance policy, protecting it if it gets lost, stolen, or damaged.
Our price range
We know that every customer who walks through our doors will have a different price range for what they’re comfortable spending. That’s why we offer pieces with prices ranging from under $500-$5,000+, ensuring our customers can make a purchase they’re comfortable with.
For those with limited budgets, sterling silver stud earrings are a great choice for under $100. A mini marquise adjustable lariat necklace is another beautiful example of an exceptional gift within a modest price range. We have countless budget-friendly pieces available; there’s sure to be one that will “wow” your partner this Valentine’s Day.
On the other hand, those with more expendable budgets will also have plenty of options to choose from at The Diamond Room. Dazzle your partner with pavé diamond hoop earrings in yellow, rose, or white gold. Another beautiful piece is the empire diamond necklace, which is perfect for any collection.
It’s our desire at The Diamond Room that everyone has a chance to purchase a lovely, one-of-a-kind gift for their special someone. No matter your price range, we offer accessories that are sure to turn heads.
Maintaining your jewelry
Maintaining your jewelry is like maintaining your home or car; clean it regularly and make sure it’s insured.
Cleaning your jewelry will look different depending on the type of piece (whether ring, necklace, bracelet, etc.) and its metal. For example, gold jewelry and diamond rings can be cleaned similarly by soaking them in a bowl of warm water and mild dish soap and then scrubbing away any build-up with a soft toothbrush. Silver jewelry will take a little more work to maintain as it can tarnish easily. Soaking them in a bowl of white vinegar and lemon essential oils before wiping them off with a soft cloth is a great start. However, getting any jewelry cleaned regularly by a professional is key to prolonging its lifespan. Fortunately, The Diamond Room offers cleaning services free of charge. We suggest you bring your pieces every 4-6 months for proper cleaning. Along with our cleaning services, we will also inspect your jewelry to ensure there are no loose diamonds or noticeable damages.
Furthermore, always store your jewelry in a safe place, especially if it’s valuable. Additionally, as noted before, you should also get your jewelry properly insured if it’s not already. This way, it's protected if something bad were to happen to it, like being stolen, lost, or damaged.
Upgrading your jewelry collection
If your partner has a piece of jewelry they may not wear much anymore, or maybe you’re looking for a piece to renew your love for them, consider getting an upgrade! At The Diamond Room, we can offer you a fair price for gold, silver, or platinum pieces you bring in. From there, we can apply your trade-in as a credit to your next purchase. It’s a win-win!
Engraving
This Valentine’s Day, if you want to surprise your partner, consider giving them a piece of engraved jewelry. The goldsmiths at The Diamond Room can custom engrave the jewelry you pick out for that extra special touch on an already amazing gift. Engraving things like important dates, initials, or verses on jewelry is a thoughtful way to show your partner how much they mean to you this Valentine’s Day.
Give the gift that says “I love you”
At The Diamond Room, find a piece of jewelry just as invaluable as your love. We know that your partner means the world to you, so why not give them a piece that reminds them of your love every time they put it on? With our range of prices and our full breadth of jewelry services, The Diamond Room is here to help you give your partner the gift that keeps on giving this Valentine’s Day.
