Caring for Your Jewelry

1. The best way to clean your gemstone jewelry is in a bowl of hot water with a few drops of ordinary dish detergent. Using an old toothbrush or other soft brush, scrub gently behind the stone where dust and soap can collect. If the dirt has caked or hardened under the stone you may have to soak the setting for awhile and then scrub again. Then rinse and dry with a soft cloth.

2. Remove your jewelry before vigorous activities. All gemstones though usually hard, are brittle and can chip if hit against a hard surface. So take precautions, such as removing jewelry when doing heavy work. (Even a diamond can chip if hit the right way.) Every day household items can ruin your gemstone jewelry. Don’t expose your gems to the chemicals in cleaning products, hair care products, fragrances and cosmetics.

3. When getting dressed, put your jewelry on last. Remove your jewelry before showering or cleaning. Soap can leave a sparkle-dimming film. Similarly, do not wear jewelry when applying makeup and face/body powder, as they can dull its shine.  Always apply makeup and hair spray BEFORE you put your jewelry on. Wash and dry your hands before handling your jewelry to avoid smudging the gemstones with the natural oils in your fingers. At the end of the day, take your jewelry off first.

4. When traveling or storing your jewelry, be careful to wrap your jewelry in soft cloth or gem papers so the stones do not clank together with the possibility of chipping or scratching the polished surface of your jewelry. Store the jewelry inside a secure crushproof container when traveling. Have us check for loose settings and professionally clean your jewelry as well. If your jewelry is ever damaged, such as a prong bent, a ring kinked out of round, a lever hinge loose, please return it to us for repair as per our service guarantee.  We are always happy to buff to a high sheen and clean your jewelry as a courtesy to our customers, charging only for shipping.
