Regular Cleaning
Keep everyday buildup from hiding your jewelry’s natural brilliance.
Oils, lotions, soap, and everyday wear can create a film over diamonds and precious metals. For many pieces, gentle cleaning with warm water and a small amount of mild dish soap can help restore their sparkle.
Use a soft bristled brush to carefully clean around the setting and underneath the stone. Rinse thoroughly and gently pat dry with a soft, lint free cloth.
CARE TIP
Always clean jewelry over a closed drain or a separate bowl.
Safe Storage
Give every piece its own protected place.
Jewelry should be stored in a soft pouch, individual compartment, or fabric lined jewelry box whenever it is not being worn.
Keeping pieces separated helps prevent scratching, tangling, and unnecessary contact between harder gemstones and softer metals.
CARE TIP
Avoid placing multiple rings, chains, or bracelets loosely together.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Household products can be much harder on jewelry than you might expect.
Cleaning solutions, chlorine, bleach, perfumes, hairsprays, lotions, and some cosmetics can affect precious metals and certain gemstones.
Remove your jewelry before cleaning, swimming, showering, or handling strong chemicals whenever possible.
GOOD RULE
Jewelry should be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off.
Professional Inspections
Small problems are easier to fix before they become expensive ones.
Have frequently worn jewelry professionally inspected on a regular basis. A jeweler can check prongs, clasps, settings, links, and stones for signs of wear or movement.
Professional cleaning can also reach areas that are difficult to clean safely at home.

Gentle Handling
Fine jewelry is durable, but it is not indestructible.
Diamonds are extremely hard, but they can still chip when struck at the wrong angle. Precious metal settings can also bend, loosen, or wear over time.
Remove jewelry before exercising, lifting heavy objects, gardening, playing sports, or performing work that could expose it to impact.
CARE TIP
Never use your jewelry as a tool or grip objects while wearing delicate rings.
Protect From Extreme Conditions
Sudden heat and temperature changes can affect certain jewelry.
While diamonds tolerate everyday temperature changes well, some gemstones and jewelry treatments can be more sensitive to heat, steam, or sudden changes in temperature.
Jewelry should also be removed before professional repairs, high heat exposure, or activities involving extreme conditions unless a jeweler has confirmed the piece is safe.
IMPORTANT
Different gemstones require different care methods.
Protect Your Investment
Some pieces are too meaningful to leave unprotected.
Consider insuring valuable jewelry against loss, theft, or accidental damage. An up to date appraisal can help document the piece and establish its replacement value for insurance purposes.
Keep important documents including appraisals, receipts, grading reports, photographs, and insurance information stored somewhere safe.
