Preserving the beauty of your pieces requires foundational care. Explore our guidelines on how to properly clean, handle, and store your fine jewelry.

FAQ

How to Wear Your Jewelry

  • Keep it dry: Remove your jewelry before showering or swimming, especially in corrosive salt water or chlorinated pools.

  • Protect it from scratches: Remove your pieces before engaging in sports or strenuous physical activities to avoid scratches and chips from rough surfaces.

  • Make it the finishing touch: Apply perfumes, lotions, and hairspray before putting your pieces on to preserve their shine.

  • Avoid chemicals: Protect your pieces from harsh household cleaners to prevent permanent damage to metals and stones.

How to Store Your Jewelry

  • Proper casing: Store your jewelry in its original pouch, a fabric-lined box, or a dedicated case to protect it from dust.

  • Keep pieces separated: Keep each piece in a separate compartment or pouch so metals and gemstones don't rub and scratch one another.

  • Prevent tangling: Lay necklaces and chain bracelets completely flat.

  • Control the environment: Store your collection in a cool, dry place, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight (which can fade stones or accelerate tarnishing).

How to Clean Your Jewelry

  • Gentle washing: Soak gold, diamonds, and hard gemstones briefly in lukewarm water mixed with a mild, chemical-free liquid soap.

  • Brushing & rinsing: Use a very soft-bristle brush to gently remove dirt, then rinse thoroughly with clean water.

  • Drying: Always pat your jewelry completely dry using a soft, lint-free, or microfiber cloth. Regularly wipe pieces with a polishing cloth to remove daily oils.

  • What to avoid: Abrasive materials, ammonia-based cleaners, or ultrasonic machines at home, as these can damage delicate stones, enamel, and loosen settings.

  • Professional care: Have your jewelry checked and professionally cleaned at least once a year.

How to Take Care of Your Stones and Specific Materials

  • Diamonds: Exceptionally hard but sensitive to harsh knocks. Clean with lukewarm soapy water and dry with a soft cloth.

  • Sapphires & Rubies: Highly durable but sensitive to knocks. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners. Professional cleaning is recommended.

  • Emeralds: Naturally delicate. Keep away from harsh liquids, extreme heat, and cosmetics. Professional cleaning is highly recommended (avoid ultrasonic cleaners).

  • Mother-of-Pearl & Pearls: Highly sensitive to heat and moisture. Apply cosmetics before wearing. If they get wet, dry immediately. Maintain polish with a soft, dry cloth (no ultrasonic cleaners).

  • Precious Metals (Gold & Platinum): Wash gently with warm, soapy water and a soft brush. Buff with a high-quality microfiber cloth.

  • Gold Vermeil & Sterling Silver: Minimize exposure to water and rough surfaces to protect vermeil. For silver, wipe with a lint-free cloth after wear or wash with warm soapy water for a deeper clean.

  • Enamel: Keep away from chemicals and cosmetics. Remove before swimming or exercising. Gently polish with a soft cloth (no ultrasonic cleaners).
