Advice From The Experts
Pro Tips For Maintaining Your Pieces
Regular Maintenance
Periodically inspect your jewelry for signs of wear or damage, such as loose stones or worn clasps. Promptly addressing these issues can prevent more significant problems in the future.
Avoid Chemicals
Keep your jewelry away from harsh chemicals like perfumes, lotions, hairspray, makeup, nail polish remover, body oils, suntan lotion, deodorants, and household cleaners, as they can damage both metals and gemstones. It’s also advisable to remove jewelry before swimming or bathing to prevent exposure to chlorine and saltwater.
Avoid Prolonged Exposure
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to maintain their brilliance.
Storing Your Jewelry
How To Care For Your Pieces
Prevent Scratches
Store your jewelry in a cool, dry place, and always keep pieces individually in a soft-lined box or pouch to avoid scratches, tangles, or damage. Gemstones should be stored with particular care to prevent them from knocking against one another.
Prevent Tangling
Always fasten your chains to prevent tangling, and ensure pieces are completely dry before storing.
Prevent Tarnishing
Living in a humid environment? Consider storing your jewelry with a small packet of desiccant crystals to reduce tarnishing.
Cleaning Your Jewelry
How To Keep Your Pieces Shining
Diamonds
To keep your diamonds sparkling, soak them in warm water mixed with mild dish soap for 15-20 minutes. Gently brush the diamonds with a soft toothbrush to remove any dirt or oils. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean cloth. We recommend professional inspection and cleaning of diamond jewelry at least once a year to ensure settings remain secure.
14k Gold
Gently rub your gold pieces with a soft microfiber cloth to polish. For a deeper clean, mix mild dish soap with warm water and use a soft-bristle toothbrush to remove buildup. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and dry with a clean cloth.
Sterling Silver
Over time, sterling silver may naturally tarnish. To restore its shine, polish your sterling silver items with a soft microfiber cloth. For a more thorough cleaning, combine mild dish soap with warm water and gently scrub with a soft-bristle toothbrush. Rinse with lukewarm water and dry completely to avoid tarnishing.
Regular Cleaning
Clean your jewelry regularly with a soft, non-abrasive, lint-free cloth to avoid residue buildup that dulls its shine. Avoid using dip polish or abrasive cleaners, as these contain harsh chemicals that can damage your pieces over time. We do not recommend using polishing cloths treated with chemicals.
Professional Cleaning
While home cleaning is essential, consider having your jewelry professionally cleaned and inspected annually. Professionals can access hard-to-reach areas and ensure your jewelry stays in optimal condition.
