Jewelry Care

We believe jewelry is meant to be worn every day. Most of the jewelry we sell requires very little care — just wear and enjoy. We do recommend taking off your jewelry when swimming, gardening, doing contact sports, seriously messy cooking, and moving heavy objects. Here are some caring tips for you.


Chemicals ‐ Exposure to common everyday household chemicals, like ammonia or bleach, can damage both metals and sapphire gemstones. Even chemicals that are worn on the body – like hairspray, perfumes and lotions – can affect metals and dull gemstones. To keep your jewelry looking new, it's best to put on any perfumes, lotions or hairspray BEFORE putting on jewelry. And it's always wise to remove fine jewelry before swimming or using any type of household cleaners.


Ultrasonic Cleaners ‐ While ultrasonic cleaners are great for cleaning metals, created sapphire stones, they should not be used in the following circumstances:

On organic gems like pearls, coral or ivory. Any gem stones that have been fracture‐filled with oil, resin or glass. For instance, most emeralds are fracture‐filled and should not be cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner.


Storing Your Jewelry

When you are NOT wearing your jewelry, it is best to keep it in a closed box, away from (sun)light and air (oxygen). Jewelry boxes (like the ones your grandma used to have for example) are the best, so you can store all your jewelry in one place, but separate them inside the box. This way they are carefully protected and you’re making sure your jewelry will remain beautiful!
