Jewelry Care FAQ

How should I store my jewelry when I'm not wearing it?

Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or lined jewelry box to prevent scratches and tangles. For sterling silver, an anti-tarnish pouch or cloth is best.

What is the best way to clean my jewelry at home?

Gently polish your jewelry with a soft, lint-free cloth after each wear. For a more thorough clean, use mild soap with warm water and carefully dry with a soft cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, harsh chemicals, or abrasive materials, as they may damage delicate stones and finishes.

Why does sterling silver tarnish, and how can I prevent it?

Tarnish is a natural reaction between silver and sulfur in the air. To slow it down, store your silver jewelry in airtight or anti-tarnish pouches, and wear it often - the oils in your skin actually help keep silver shiny! Minimize contact with perfumes, lotions, and hairsprays, which may dull the metal or affect pearls.

Can I use jewelry cleaner on all pieces?

Not all! Jewelry cleaners may be safe for metals like silver or gold, but they can damage pearls and gemstones. Always check the cleaner's instructions or use a gentle cloth.

If I notice my sterling silver beginning to tarnish, how can I restore its shine?

For gentle at-home care, sterling silver can often be refreshed using a simple method: line a small bowl with aluminum foil, add warm water and a spoonful of baking soda, and allow the piece to rest in the solution briefly. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.

For heavier tarnish or intricate designs, we recommend professional cleaning to ensure the beauty of your piece is fully restored without risk of damage.

May I shower, swim, or sleep while wearing my jewelry?

We recommend removing your jewelry before showering, swimming, or sleeping. Water, chlorine, and friction may compromise the brilliance of gemstones, weaken settings, and accelerate tarnishing.

Is it advisable to wear jewelry during exercise?

We recommend removing jewelry during physical activity. Perspiration and impact may cause premature wear, loosen settings, or diminish the metal’s luster.

How do I take care of pearl jewelry?

Pearls are treasures of the sea and require gentle care they are delicate and porous. They should be the final touch when dressing and the first item removed at day’s end. Wipe them delicately with a soft cloth after wear, and store them flat to prevent stretching of the strand. Avoid contact with perfume, hairspray, or lotions.

Can pearls be exposed to water?

While light contact with moisture is not harmful, pearls should not be submerged in water. Extended exposure can weaken the silk thread and diminish their natural beauty.
