A Lifetime Of Luxury: Your Care Guide
At Shiree Odiz, we pride ourselves on creating pieces that are both luxurious and practical for everyday wear. To ensure your jewelry continues to shine just as brilliantly as the first day you wore it, here's your comprehensive guide for expert care.
Quick At-Home Care
Storage
Use a compartmentalized box to store each piece separately, avoiding scratches and loss of shine.
The Soft Toothbrush Cleaning Method
- Mix a few drops of mild dish soap in warm water.
- Soak your jewelry for 20 minutes.
- Use a soft toothbrush to gently brush the diamond and setting.
- Rinse with clean warm water and pat dry using a lint-free cloth.
Stud earrings should be cleaned more frequently as they collect more dirt and oils.
Quick Shine with Jewelry Wipes
For a rapid touch-up, specialized jewelry wipes are perfect for adding an instant gleam to your diamonds.
Listen for Loose Diamonds
Check that your diamonds are secure right at home. Hold the piece close to your ear and give it a gentle tap. If you hear a rattling sound, it's a sign that your diamond is loose. In such instances, it's recommended to refrain from wearing the piece and consult a professional for tightening. Wearing a piece with loose prongs risks losing the diamond.Secure Your Earrings
Secure Earrings
High quality earrings can be worn even with an active lifestyle, day and night. However, awareness to any damage to the shape of the posts or backings will ensure they don't go astray. We recommend using our larger, more secure butterfly backings and double ridge posts for your earrings but either way, it's worth a regular check.
Bracelets Locked In
While our diamond tennis bracelets feature a triple-lock mechanism for added security, it's essential to ensure that the lock clicks firmly into place when worn. Over time, the delicate gold mechanisms may wear or bend. If you notice that the lock easily opens, contact us for how to resolve the issue with a quick tightening.

Periodic Professional Cleaning
Every few years, consider a professional ultrasonic cleaning. At the same time, let the jeweler inspect the settings for broken prongs or loose diamonds.
Note: If you have Clarity Enhanced (CE) diamonds, inform your jeweler during professional cleaning and avoid using harsh chemicals at home.
Keep White Gold White
White gold is a unique blend of pure gold and white metals like silver, palladium, and nickel. This creates an off-white gold alloy. To enhance its appearance to a radiant white, the jewelry undergoes a polishing process and is dipped in pure rhodium. To preserve this stunning white finish, we recommend having your white gold pieces professionally cleaned and re-dipped in rhodium every few years.
By adhering to this practice, you can ensure that your white gold jewelry continues to exude its signature dazzling whiteness over the years.
What to Avoid
- Stay away from chlorine and salt water, as they can dull your diamonds and scratch the metal.
- Avoid corrosive materials and extreme heat, especially if you have clarity enhanced diamonds.
- Your diamond jewelry is made for everyday wear, however it's not indestructible. Gold is a soft metal and will scratch when rubbed against hard surfaces, other metals or pressure is applied. Diamonds are the hardest material on earth, but if hit hard enough at a thin point, they too can be damaged.
Your Shiree Odiz diamond jewelry is designed to accompany you through life's everyday moments and special milestones. With these expert care tips, you're equipped to keep that sparkle everlasting.
