Your jewelry is your proud statement piece and a beautiful treasure.

Proper care ensures your pieces remain as stunning as the day you first tried them on.

Below is a basic care guide to protect your fine jewelry and preserve its brilliance for the years to come.

* This guide does not replace checks by a professional under a microscope. We recommend bringing your jewelry in every 3-4 months for a complimentary jewelry inspection and cleaning using our professional equipment to ensure the integrity of your metal and stones.

General jewelry care:

  • Store each piece of jewelry separately: Keep each item individually in a soft pouch, small plastic bag, or jewelry box to avoid scratching one another.
  • Avoid chemicals: Remove jewelry before swimming, sitting in hot tubs, household cleaning, or applying perfume or lotion as it can harm the stone or metal.
  • Light cleaning at home: Wipe gently with a soft cloth before storing.
  • Avoid wearing while doing heavy work: Working out at the gym, landscaping, gardening, and household chores can be hard on rings and other jewelry.
  • Regular checks: Inspect clasps, settings, and prongs for damage.
    • If something feels different, take it off and bring it into the store for inspection.

Necklaces

  • Prevent knots: Clasp your necklace before storing individually by laying or hanging flat.
    • If there is a knot, bring it in for one of us to happily work the knot out without breaking the chain.
  • Chain checks: Feel for breaks and check clasps regularly
  • Remove before sleeping: Necklaces can twist overnight weakening, stretching, or breaking links.

Diamond care

  • Gentle cleaning: Fill a small bowl with warm soapy water and a few drops of mild dish soap. Place your diamond jewelry in. Using a soft new toothbrush to gently brush stones is optional. Place lid on bowl to soak items if desired.
  • Avoid buildup: Put jewelry on after lotion, hairspray, and oils to avoid dulling their sparkle.

Pearls

  • Last on, First off: Apply perfumes and cosmetics before wearing pearls.
  • Wipe after each wear: Pearls absorb oils. Gently wipe with a soft, clean cloth after each use.
  • Bring in for checking regularly: We can check if the strand needs restringing.

Gemstone care

  • Know your stone: Different gemstones have different hardness levels. What's safe for one stone may damage another.
  • Avoid direct sunlight: Prolonged sun exposure can fade or alter the color of some stones. Store in a dark and dry box or drawer.
  • Keep stones dry: Different cleaners, perfumes, and even water can harm some stones.

Caring for your jewelry at home is indispensable, but nothing compares to the attention it receives from a professional. Regular in-store inspections and cleanings help catch early signs of wear, prevent potential damage, and keep your jewelry looking its absolute best. We offer free inspections and cleaning. We invite you to bring your jewelry in every 3-4 months to preserve their beauty, value, and integrity. Feel confident that your investment continues to shine brilliantly for years to come.
