Jewelry Care

Ensure your jewelry lasts

Proper Care Guidelines

Fine jewelry is a precious possession that is designed and crafted to last a lifetime. However, proper care is required to assure the lasting qualities of your jewelry. Below are some simple, basic guidelines for the care and cleaning of your fine jewelry:

  • Store your jewelry in a clean, dry place.
 
  • Keep your jewelry in a fabric-lined jewelry case, or in a box with compartments and dividers. If you prefer to use ordinary boxes, wrap each piece individually in soft tissue paper.
 
  • Don’t jumble your jewelry pieces in a drawer or jewelry case. Pieces can scratch each other.
 
  • Be careful when removing your jewelry to wash your hands. Do not leave your jewelry on the rim of a sink where it can easily slip down the drain.

  • See your jeweler at least once a year to have your jewelry checked for loose prongs, worn mountings, and general wear and tear. Visit your jeweler every six months to have your jewelry professionally cleaned.
 
  • Remove all jewelry before going into a hot tub or swimming pool. The chlorine can damage and discolor metals such as gold and platinum and can slowly erode the finish and polish of gemstones. Remove all jewelry before entering salt water as it can have the same effect as chlorine on your fine jewelry.
 
  • Remove all jewelry before showering, cleaning, applying lotions, and sunscreen. These products cause a film to form on your jewelry, making it appear dull and dingy
 
  • Remove all jewelry before styling hair with gels or hairspray as this can also cause a film to form on your jewelry
 
  • Remove all jewelry before handling Bleach, Chlorine (Swimming Pool, Granules) Iodine,
