Jewelry Care

Here is some information(info) on how to maintain the original luster of your favourite jewelry. We recommend wiping your pieces with a soft cloth after removing them. We recommend using a non-abrasive polish cloth at least once a month to maintain your jewelry in like-new condition.

Although perhaps inelegant, the best way to protect your jewelry from oxidation is by keeping the piece stored in a sealed plastic bag when not being worn to keep out the air.

When oxidation does occur, you can use a silver polish cloth to restore the original shine. You should not use abrasive polish, as it will damage the stones and the luster.

Pearls can lose their luster after coming contact with perspiration. An occasional gentle wash in lukewarm soapy water will restore their shine.

Chlorine can damage precious metals and gemstones, and can cause stones to become loose in settings. You should avoid swimming pools while wearing your jewelry.

Long exposure to direct sunlight can cause the color of stones to fade. Please avoid storing your piece in direct sunlight.
