Jewelry Care
Jewelry is naturally delicate and, like any metal, is susceptible to damage and requires preventive measures and maintenance. It is important to be mindful of your jewellery while wearing it and to choose pieces that are appropriate for your lifestyle. For example, if you are someone who is in frequent contact with the elements, we advise you to purchase either solid gold or silver, but not gold plated silver, as the gold plating will naturally wear over time. The same may apply to individuals whose skin pH naturally causes gold plating to wear more quickly.
Material-Specific Care
Different materials require different care. Please refer to the recommendations below to help preserve the beauty and longevity of your jewelry.
Sterling Silver
Sterling silver naturally develops a soft patina over time. Regular wear and occasional polishing will help maintain its natural shine.
- Clean with a soft polishing cloth or warm water and mild soap.
- Dry thoroughly before storing.
- Store in a dry place, preferably in an airtight pouch or jewelry box.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture chemicals, and chlorinated water.
Gold Plated
Gold plated jewelry feature a layer of gold over sterling silver. With regular wear, the plating will naturally fade over time.
- Avoid contact with water, perfumes, lotions, and household chemicals.
- Remove before showering, swimming, exercise, or sleeping.
- Store separately to minimize friction and wear.
- If needed, we offer a professional gold replating service to restore your piece.
Solid Gold
Solid gold is durable and designed to be worn every day. Like all precious metals, however, it benefits from thoughtful care.
- Clean with warm water and mild soap.
- Store separately to minimize scratches.
- Remove before heavy physical activity.
- Have gemstone settings inspected periodically if your piece contains stone.
Diamonds
Diamonds are among the hardest natural materials, but they still require proper care to maintain their brilliance.
- Clean regularly with warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush.
- Avoid hard impacts that may loosen gemstone settings.
- Store separately from other jewelry, as diamond can scratch softer materials.
- Have settings professionally inspected from time to time.
Pearls & Opals
Pearls and opals are among nature´s most delicate treasures. With gentle handling and proper care, they will preserve their beauty for years to come.
- Avoid contact with perfumes, cosmetics, lotions, and household chemicals.
- Protect from impacts and sudden changes in temperature.
- Clean only with a soft, damp cloth.
- Store separately from other jewelry to help prevent scratches and damage.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, excessive heat, or moisture
