General Care for All Jewelry
- Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals, such as perfumes, hairsprays, and cleaning agents.
- Remove jewelry before swimming, showering, or engaging in strenuous activities.
- Clean jewelry regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to maintain its shine.
- Store pieces in a soft pouch or lined jewelry box to prevent scratches.
Material-Specific Care
Yellow Gold, Rose Gold, White Gold
- Clean with warm water, mild soap, and a soft toothbrush. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
- For white gold, periodic re-plating with rhodium may be needed to restore its bright finish.
Diamonds
- Use a gentle cleaning solution of warm water and dish soap. Brush with a soft toothbrush to remove dirt.
- Store separately to avoid scratching other pieces, as diamonds are very hard.
Pearls
- Wipe pearls gently with a soft, damp cloth after wearing to remove body oils.
- Avoid submerging pearls in water or exposing them to cosmetics or perfumes.
- Store in a soft cloth or pouch, as pearls can scratch easily.
Ruby and Emerald
- Clean with lukewarm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh cleaning solutions.
- Emeralds are more delicate due to natural inclusions and should not be exposed to extreme heat or ultrasonic cleaners.
Malachite, Carnelian, Lapis Lazuli, Mother of Pearl, Onyx
- Clean gently with a damp cloth. Avoid using soap, ultrasonic cleaners, or submerging in water, as these materials are porous and can absorb liquids.
- Keep away from prolonged sunlight or heat, as it can cause fading or damage.
Additional Tips
- Inspect jewelry regularly for loose stones, worn prongs, or other signs of wear, and have them professionally serviced if needed.
- When traveling, use a travel case with compartments to keep pieces secure and untangled.
