Jewelry Care Basics

Avoid

Avoid

Avoid harsh chemicals
Gently remove your jewelry before:

  • Cleaning
  • Gardening
  • Swimming
  • Using perfumes, lotions, or hair products.

Chemicals can dull gold and damage gemstones.

Protect

Remove Before High-Impact Activities

To protect your jewelry, remove your ring during high-impact or hands-on activities such as:

  • Lifting heavy weights
  • Rock climbing
  • Sports
  • Working with tools

Impact can chip gemstones or damage settings. Gold is a soft metal and may bend under pressure.

Safe Storage

Safe Storage

Keep jewelry in a cool, dry place, preferably in individual pouches or soft-lined jewelry boxes to prevent scratching and tangling.

Separate Gemstones
Store different gemstones separately, as some, like diamonds, can scratch softer stones. Use compartmentalized jewelry organizers to keep pieces safe.
Inspect

Inspect

Check your jewelry periodically for loose stones or weakened prongs. Gently tap the piece near your ear if you hear a rattling sound, take it to a professional jeweler for tightening and repairs.

Gentle Cleaning

Gentle Cleaning

Clean with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage delicate metals.

Consider Jewelry Insurance

Consider Jewelry Insurance

Protect your fine jewelry from loss, theft, or accidental damage by insuring it. Check with your insurer to see if your homeowner's or renter's policy provides coverage, or consider a specialized jewelry insurance provider.

Clean & Care Your Jewelry

1

Prepare a Soap Bath & Soak

Fill a small bowl with warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap to create a gentle cleaning solution suitable for most jewelry. Allow your piece to soak for 10–15 minutes, or longer if there is buildup beneath the stone.

2

Gently Brush Away Dirt

Using a soft-bristled brush, carefully clean beneath the stones and around any intricate details to remove buildup without damaging the setting.

3

Rinse and Dry Thoroughly

Rinse under clean water and pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth to restore shine
