Fine jewelry is crafted to last a lifetime, but it still requires a little mindful care to maintain its brilliance and structural integrity. Follow these essential guidelines to keep your pieces looking pristine for years to come.

1. Daily Wear & Protection

• Last On, First Off: Always make your jewelry is the finishing touch. Put your pieces on after applying makeup, perfume, hairspray, and lotions to prevent cloudy buildup. Take them off before your nightly skincare routine.
• Know When to Take it Off: Remove your jewelry before swimming in pools or oceans (chlorine and saltwater can damage metals), intense exercising, lifting weights, or doing heavy household chores that could subject the piece to hard impacts.
• Mind the Chemicals: Keep your jewelry away from harsh household cleaners, bleach, and heavy hand sanitizers, which can dull the finish of the gold over time.

2. Cleaning for Brilliance

• The Gentle Soak: To restore the sparkle to everyday pieces, soak your jewelry for 10–15 minutes in a small bowl of warm water mixed with a few drops of mild, fragrance-free dish soap.
• The Soft Brush: Use an ultra-soft bristle brush (like a baby toothbrush) to gently scrub behind the stones and under the settings where daily lotions and oils tend to collect.
• Dry Completely: Rinse thoroughly under warm running water and pat dry with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. Avoid using paper towels or tissues, which have wood fibers that can cause micro-scratches on polished gold.

3. Proper Storage

• Keep it Separated: Diamonds are incredibly hard and can easily scratch your gold bands or other softer gemstones if they rub together. Always store your pieces individually in their own soft pouch, a dedicated jewelry box compartment, or the original packaging.
• Cool and Dry: Store your jewelry in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity.

4. Routine Maintenance

• Check Your Settings: Even the most secure settings experience natural wear over time. We recommend taking a close look at your pieces every few months, and having prongs professionally inspected once a year to ensure your stones remain safe and secure.
