ARTICLE DATE 06/14/2025

As the summer of 2025 approaches, it's time to ensure your cherished pre-owned Tiffany jewelry pieces are ready to shine under the sun. At Gray & Sons, we understand the importance of preserving the beauty and value of your luxury accessories. Today, we'll explore expert tips and techniques for maintaining your Tiffany jewelry collection during the warm summer months, ensuring your pieces remain as dazzling as the day you acquired them.

The Timeless Appeal of Tiffany Jewelry

Tiffany & Co. has long been synonymous with elegance and sophistication. Their designs, from classic diamond engagement rings to contemporary silver pieces, have captured hearts for generations. As we delve into summer care, let's admire some stunning pre-owned Tiffany pieces from our collection:

These pieces exemplify why proper care is crucial - to maintain not just their beauty, but their value as well.

Summer Challenges for Jewelry

The summer season brings unique challenges for jewelry care. Increased exposure to sunlight, saltwater, chlorine, and sunscreen can all potentially damage your precious Tiffany pieces. Understanding these risks is the first step in protecting your investment.

For instance, our Tiffany & Co. Heart link bracelet in sterling silver requires special attention to prevent tarnishing from summer sweat and humidity. Similarly, the delicate Elsa Peretti for Tiffany & Co, large star fish pendant necklace needs protection from harsh beach elements.

Essential Summer Care Tips

  1. Pre-Summer Cleaning: Start the season with a thorough cleaning. For silver pieces like the Tiffany & Co. heart link necklace, use a soft cloth and specialized silver cleaner.

  2. Avoid Prolonged Sun Exposure: UV rays can fade certain gemstones. Store pieces like the Tiffany & Co. Diamond X Ring In 18k Yellow Gold in a cool, dark place when not in use.

  3. Remove Before Swimming: Chlorine and saltwater can damage metals and loosen settings. Always remove jewelry before entering pools or the ocean.

  4. Sunscreen Caution: Apply sunscreen before putting on jewelry. Chemicals in sunscreen can react with metals, particularly affecting pieces like the Tiffany & Co. platinum band.

  5. Regular Maintenance: Schedule a professional cleaning and inspection mid-summer, especially for frequently worn items.

Expert Insights: Gray & Sons Jewelers Speak

Our master jewelers at Gray & Sons emphasize the importance of preventative care. "Summer activities can be particularly harsh on jewelry," notes our lead expert. "We recommend storing pieces in individual soft cloth pouches to prevent scratching and tangling, especially for delicate items like the Tiffany & Co. ring with moving heart pendant."

The Future of Jewelry Care

As we look towards future summers, advancements in jewelry care products and techniques continue to evolve. At Gray & Sons, we stay at the forefront of these developments to ensure your pre-owned luxury pieces receive the best possible care.

Consider investing in modern ultrasonic cleaners for at-home maintenance between professional services. These devices are particularly effective for pieces like the Tiffany & Co Together Milgrain Band In Platinum, helping to maintain its intricate details.

Proper summer care for your pre-owned Tiffany jewelry is more than just maintenance - it's an investment in lasting beauty and value.
