Your fine jewelry is made to last a lifetime, but like anything valuable, it needs proper care. Follow these tips to keep your pieces looking beautiful and secure for years to come.

Daily Wear Tips

Jewelry is best worn with care in mind.

• Put it on last when getting ready, and take it off first when winding down.

• Keep a designated dish or pouch nearby when removing jewelry.

• Avoid wearing rings or bracelets while sleeping to prevent wear on prongs or delicate chains.

Routine & Physical Activity

Everyday tasks and workouts can put stress on your jewelry.

• Remove pieces before showering, cooking, gardening, or cleaning.

• Avoid wearing jewelry at the gym, during sports, or while lifting—this reduces the risk of impact damage or loosening stones.

Avoid Exposure to Chemicals

Chemicals can dull or even corrode both metals and gemstones.

• Remove jewelry before using cleaning products or hand sanitizers.

• Avoid lotions, perfumes, and hairsprays while wearing jewelry.

• Take jewelry off before swimming in pools or hot tubs.

Sunlight and Heat

Certain gemstones, like amethyst, kunzite, and opal, can fade or become damaged from prolonged sunlight or heat exposure.

• Store jewelry in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or heating sources.

Cleaning and Storage

Gentle Cleaning
Use mild dish soap, warm water, and a soft toothbrush to clean your pieces. Pat dry with a lint-free cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.

Storage
Keep each piece in a soft pouch or its own compartment inside a jewelry box to prevent scratching and tangling.

Professional Cleaning
Bring your jewelry in for a professional cleaning and inspection as often as you like! This service is always available and included for free with your purchase.

Handling and Maintenance

Gentle Handling
Always handle your jewelry by its band or chain, not the gemstone. This prevents loosening over time.

Repairs
If something feels loose or looks damaged, stop wearing the piece and bring it in right away for assessment and repair.

Regular Checks
Get into the habit of examining your jewelry for loose stones, worn prongs, or surface damage. Early detection can prevent costly fixes later.
