JEWELRY CARE
To keep your jewelry in top condition, visit the store for a professional check-up at least once a year. In between, practice regular care at home:
- Clean gently after each wear with a soft, 100% cotton cloth to remove oils and makeup.
- Store properly in jeweler’s tissue or a soft pouch; for sterling silver, use a sealed plastic bag to prevent tarnish.
- For light cleaning, soak in warm water with mild dish soap (like Dawn), rinse, and dry thoroughly.
Important Tips:
- Avoid soaking soft gemstones (e.g., amber, lapis, turquoise).
- Use nonabrasive metal cleaners—never toothpaste or harsh chemicals.
- Always use a clean cloth to avoid scratches.
Avoid Harmful Substances:
Bleach, chlorine (including pools/hot tubs), ammonia, acetone, alcohol, turpentine, and petroleum products can damage both metals and gemstones.
Avoid Lifting Weights with Your Rings:
Wearing your ring during strength training can significantly compromise its strength and durability. We recommend storing your rings safely during any workouts involving gripping. Being mindful of activities that could damage your cherished heirlooms is essential to preserving them.
Special Care for Gemstones:
Opals: Avoid heat, sunlight, and ultrasonic cleaners.
Pearls: Keep away from perfumes and chemicals; store separately.
Soft stones (lapis, turquoise, amber, malachite): Wrap and store individually to prevent scratching.
