How do I care for my jewelry?
Jewelry requires specific care depending on the materials, condition, and construction of the piece. Here are a few general tips for care:
​
-
Store your jewelry so pieces do not touch each other. Stones and metal can become abraded if they rub against one another.
​​
-
To quickly clean stones, use a lint-free polishing cloth to safely remove fingerprints and oil.
​​
-
If you notice that your jewelry needs a more in-depth cleaning, use warm soapy water or jewelry cleaner and a soft bristled toothbrush to gently rub the item. Be sure to clean your jewelry over a closed sink drain to prevent any mishaps!
​​
-
Certain gemstones, such as Emeralds, Opals, and Pearls, should not be cleaned using jewelry cleaner, ultrasonic cleaners, or steam cleaners. Please Contact Us if you want to learn more about safe cleaning practices for your specific piece.
​​
-
Check the security of your stones regularly, especially if the piece incurs impact or trauma. (Tip: To check the security of your stones, hold the item to you ear and tap the item gently. If the item rattles like a loose lightbulb, your stones are loose!
​
If you notice your stone is loose or an item is damaged, please take the item off and Contact Us as soon as possible for a fix!
