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 regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to maintain its shine.
  • Store pieces individually in a soft pouch or lined jewelry box to prevent scratches and tangles.
  • Avoid direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, which can cause discoloration or warping.
  • Inspect jewelry regularly for loose stones, worn prongs, or other signs of wear, and seek professional servicing if needed.

Material-Specific Care

Yellow Gold, Rose Gold, White Gold

  • Clean with warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
  • White gold may require periodic rhodium re-plating to restore its bright finish.

Diamonds

  • Use a gentle solution of warm water and mild soap. Soak briefly, then wipe clean with a soft cloth.
  • Store separately, as diamonds can scratch other jewelry.

Pearls

  • Wipe 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 to prevent scratches.

Ruby & Emerald

  • Clean with lukewarm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh cleaning solutions.
  • Emeralds, due to natural inclusions, 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 soap, ultrasonic cleaners, or submersion in water, as these porous materials can absorb liquids.
  • Keep away from prolonged sunlight or heat to prevent fading or damage.
