Jewelry Care Guide
What's the best way to care for your rings and jewelry?
Thank you for choosing one of our handmade pieces of jewelry.
We’re delighted that this piece is part of your story. To ensure you can enjoy it for a lifetime and maintain the warranty, it’s important to follow our care tips carefully. In this guide, we’d like to share a few simple ways to keep your jewelry looking beautiful and protected.
1. Any type of jewelry
Physical activities
We recommend removing your jewelry during strenuous activities such as sports, weightlifting, or gardening. Minor scratches are normal with everyday use, but hard surfaces and sudden movements can cause deep scratches or deformation.
Water
Take off your jewelry before showering or swimming. Water—and especially chlorinated or saltwater—can slightly damage the finish (polished or matte) of gold and silver.
Chemicals
Do not wear your jewelry while cleaning or applying lotions, perfumes, or hair products. Chemicals can cause discoloration. Allow skincare products to fully absorb before putting your jewelry back on.
Sleeping
We recommend taking off your rings and jewelry before going to bed. While you sleep, they can bend or get damaged, causing unnecessary wear and tear.
Store safely
Store your jewelry in its original box when you're not wearing it. This will protect it from dust, moisture, and discoloration, and prevent the pieces from scratching each other.
2. Additionally, for jewelry with diamonds or gemstones
Wearing rings together
Do not wear rings with diamonds or gemstones set in prongs or side settings together with other rings. The constant friction can cause the metal to wear down, and stones may become loose over time.
Sleeping
Dust acts as a kind of fine abrasive on the settings—the metal parts that hold the stone in place. Over time, this can cause them to weaken and hold the stone less securely, which can lead to the stone falling out.
Regular self-checks
We recommend checking your jewelry every few weeks. You can gently run your fingernail or a soft cloth over the stone to see if everything is still secure. If you notice anything unusual, please stop wearing the piece and feel free to bring it to our studio for an inspection and reinforcement.
Annual professional inspection (important for the warranty)
Have jewelry with diamonds or gemstones—especially rings—inspected by us annually. This is included in our service and is necessary to maintain the warranty. This allows us to check that everything is still securely fastened, and your jewelry will receive a thorough cleaning right away, restoring its original shine or matte finish.
