Overview

Why Proper Care Matters

  • โ€ข Maintains brilliance and beauty
  • โ€ข Prevents damage and tarnishing
  • โ€ข Extends jewelry lifespan
  • โ€ข Protects your investment
  • โ€ข Ensures safe wearing

Daily Care Essentials

  • โ€ข Remove before showering/swimming
  • โ€ข Apply lotions before jewelry
  • โ€ข Wipe clean after each wear
  • โ€ข Store properly when not wearing
  • โ€ข Inspect regularly for damage
โš ๏ธImportant

Always remove jewelry before exposure to chlorine, salt water, harsh chemicals, or during vigorous physical activities. These can cause permanent damage to both metals and gemstones.

๐Ÿ’

Ring Care

Engagement & Wedding Rings

๐Ÿงผ Weekly Cleaning

Clean weekly with warm soapy water and a soft brush. These rings are worn daily and accumulate oils, lotions, and debris quickly.

๐Ÿ‹๏ธ Exercise Precautions

Always remove engagement rings during workouts. Sweat, friction, and impact can damage settings and loosen stones.

๐Ÿ” Professional Inspection

Have prongs checked every 6 months. Loose prongs are the #1 cause of diamond loss.

Fashion & Statement Rings

๐ŸŽจ Colored Gemstones

Avoid ultrasonic cleaners for emeralds, opals, and pearls. Use gentle soap and water only.

๐Ÿ”„ Rotation Care

If you have multiple rings, rotate wear to prevent excessive wear on one piece.

๐Ÿ“ Proper Sizing

Ensure proper fit - too loose risks loss, too tight restricts circulation and causes wear.

๐Ÿ’กPro Tip

Ring sizing changes with temperature and time of day. Have rings sized during normal temperature conditions, and remember that fingers tend to swell in heat and shrink in cold.

Necklace Care

Chain Maintenance

๐Ÿ”— Tangle Prevention

Always clasp necklaces before storing. This simple step prevents chains from knotting and tangling.

๐Ÿงฝ Chain Cleaning

Clean chains last, as they collect the most dirt and oils. Use a soft brush to clean between links.

๐Ÿ”„ Kink Prevention

Hang necklaces separately or use jewelry organizers with individual hooks to prevent kinks.

Pendant Care

๐Ÿ’Ž Diamond Pendants

Clean diamond pendants with warm soapy water and a soft brush, paying attention to the back where oils accumulate.

๐ŸŒฟ Pearl Necklaces

Wipe pearls with a soft, damp cloth after each wear. Never store pearls hanging - lay flat to prevent stretching.

๐Ÿ”„ Restringing

Pearl strands should be restrung every 3-5 years, or when the silk thread shows wear or discoloration.

๐ŸŒŠLayering Tips

When layering necklaces, vary chain weights and lengths to prevent tangling. Store layered sets separately and consider professional cleaning for complex layered pieces.

โšก

Bracelet Care

Tennis & Chain Bracelets

๐Ÿ’Ž Diamond Tennis Bracelets

Check clasp and safety chain regularly. Clean with warm soapy water and soft brush between professional cleanings.

๐Ÿ”’ Security Features

Always use safety chains on valuable bracelets. Double-check clasp closure before wearing.

๐Ÿƒ Activity Guidelines

Remove bracelets during exercise, sports, or manual labor to prevent damage and stone loss.

Charm & Cuff Bracelets

๐ŸŽญ Charm Bracelets

Wear on non-dominant wrist to reduce wear. Clean individual charms with appropriate methods for their materials.

โญ• Cuff Bracelets

Slip on from the narrow side of your wrist. Never bend drastically - this can weaken and break the metal.

๐Ÿ“ Proper Fit

Bracelets should fit comfortably with slight movement. Too tight restricts circulation; too loose risks loss.

โœจ

Earring Care

Stud Earrings

๐Ÿ’Ž Diamond Studs

Clean by holding the post, never the setting. Soak in warm soapy water for 30 minutes, then rinse and pat dry.

๐Ÿ”’ Backing Security

Check earring backs regularly for wear. Replace loose or worn backs immediately to prevent loss.

๐Ÿงผ Daily Maintenance

Wipe posts with rubbing alcohol daily to prevent buildup and maintain ear health.

Hoops & Drop Earrings

โญ• Hoop Earrings

Check hinges and clasps regularly. Clean with soft brush to remove buildup in crevices.

๐Ÿ’ง Drop Earrings

Inspect connection points for wear. Heavy earrings should be worn for limited periods to prevent earlobe stretching.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Protection Tips

Remove earrings before sleeping, exercise, or phone calls to prevent damage and maintain comfort.

๐ŸฅEar Health

Clean earring posts with rubbing alcohol before and after wear. If you experience irritation, remove earrings immediately and consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist.

Metal Care Guide

๐Ÿฅ‡

Gold

Yellow Gold

Most durable, requires minimal care. Clean with soft cloth and mild soap.

White Gold

Rhodium-plated for whiteness. May need re-plating every 1-3 years depending on wear.

Rose Gold

Copper content makes it durable. May develop patina over time - this is normal.

โšช

Platinum

Natural Patina

Develops characteristic patina over time. Can be polished to restore original shine.

Cleaning

Use warm soapy water and soft brush. Professional cleaning every 6 months recommended.

Durability

Most durable precious metal. Scratches but doesn't wear away like gold.

๐Ÿฅˆ

Sterling Silver

Tarnish Prevention

Wear frequently - skin oils prevent tarnishing. Store in anti-tarnish bags.

Cleaning

Use silver polishing cloth for light tarnish. Professional cleaning for heavy tarnish.

Storage

Store in dry place with anti-tarnish strips. Separate pieces to prevent scratching.

๐ŸšซAvoid These Chemicals
  • โ€ข Chlorine bleach (damages gold alloys)
  • โ€ข Ammonia-based cleaners
  • โ€ข Abrasive compounds
  • โ€ข Swimming pool chemicals
  • โ€ข Household cleaning products
  • โ€ข Perfumes and hairsprays
๐Ÿ’Ž

Gemstone Care

Diamonds

๐Ÿ’Ž Natural & Lab-Grown

Identical care for both. Diamonds are durable but can chip along crystal lines. Avoid impacts.

๐Ÿงผ Cleaning Method

Warm soapy water with soft brush. Safe for ultrasonic cleaners unless fracture-filled.

โœจ Maintaining Sparkle

Clean weekly for daily-wear pieces. Diamond attracts grease - clean cloth after handling.

Colored Gemstones

๐ŸŒˆ Sapphires & Rubies

Very durable, safe for ultrasonic cleaning. Avoid extreme temperature changes.

๐ŸŸข Emeralds

Often treated with oils. Use only warm soapy water - no ultrasonic or steam cleaning.

๐Ÿ”ต Softer Stones

Turquoise, lapis, pearls need gentle care. Clean with damp cloth only.

โœ…Safe for Ultrasonic

Diamonds (unfilled), Sapphires, Rubies, Amethyst, Citrine, Garnet

โŒAvoid Ultrasonic

Emeralds, Opals, Pearls, Turquoise, Lapis, Tanzanite

๐Ÿ“ฆ

Storage & Travel

Home Storage

๐Ÿ  Jewelry Box Setup

Individual compartments prevent scratching. Soft fabric lining protects delicate pieces.

๐Ÿ“ฟ Necklace Storage

Hang separately or lay flat in compartments. Never store tangled or in piles.

๐Ÿ’ Ring Organization

Ring rolls or individual slots. Separate by hardness to prevent diamond rings scratching softer metals.

Travel Tips

โœˆ๏ธ Carry-On Only

Never pack jewelry in checked luggage. Keep valuables in carry-on for security.

๐Ÿ‘œ Travel Cases

Use padded travel jewelry cases with individual compartments and secure closures.

๐Ÿ“‹ Documentation

Photograph pieces and keep appraisals/certificates. Helpful for insurance and customs.

๐ŸŒก๏ธ

Temperature

Store in stable temperature, avoid extreme heat/cold

๐Ÿ’ง

Humidity

Use silica gel packets to control moisture

โ˜€๏ธ

Light

Avoid direct sunlight which can fade colored stones
