Product Care

We believe your jewelry is a precious investment that deserves to be cherished. By following a few simple steps, you can keep your pieces looking exquisite for years to come.

 

HANDLING YOUR JEWELRY

  • Always handle jewelry with clean, dry hands. Oils and moisture can affect the luster of metals and stones.
  • Put on jewelry after applying cosmetics, perfumes, or hairspray to avoid residue buildup.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
STORAGE TIPS
  • Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or a lined jewelry box to prevent scratches and tangling.
  • Keep jewelry in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Excessive heat can damage certain gemstones and metals.
  • Consider using anti-tarnish strips in your storage box to reduce oxidation.

 

CLEANING GUIDELINES

  • To clean most pieces, gently wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth. For a deeper clean, use mild soap and lukewarm water. Avoid harsh chemicals, as they can damage metals and gemstones.
  • For intricate pieces, a soft brush can help remove dust from hard-to-reach areas. Rinse with water and pat dry with a cloth.

 

SPECIAL CARE FOR SPECIFIC MATERIALS

  • STERLING SILVER

Sterling silver can be cleaned with a sterling silver polishing cloth. Avoid chlorine water and rubbing with paper products, which can scratch the silver. Store pieces in a cool dry place away from light and air to prevent excess tarnishing. We recommend using the sterling silver specific liquid jewelry cleaner. For pieces containing stones, pearls and crystals, we recommend using the polishing cloth only, as the liquid can damage some stones.

  •  GOLD PLATED STERLING SILVER

Always separate from other jewelry to prevent scratching and remove before showering or cleaning. Polish gently using yellow gold specific polishing cloth.

  • GEMSTONES
Many gemstones are delicate and can be scratched or chipped. Handle them with care, and avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures.
  • PEARLS
Pearls are especially delicate and should be wiped with a soft cloth after each wear. Avoid contact with cosmetics and perfumes, as they can dull the pearl's luster.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

WEARING YOUR JEWELRY

  • Remove jewelry before swimming, exercising, or doing household chores. Chlorine, sweat, and household chemicals can be harmful to both metals and gemstones.
  • Take off your jewelry before bed to avoid accidental damage and unnecessary wear.
