Jewelry Care Guide

Fine jewelry is made to be worn, but it still benefits from quiet rituals: cleaning, storage, inspection, and knowing when to take a piece off.

Clean Gently

For many pieces, warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush are a gentle starting point—but they are not suitable for every gem or setting. Check stone- and treatment-specific guidance first. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners, and use ultrasonic or steam cleaning only when the gem, treatment, and setting are confirmed to be compatible.

Know Your Stone

Diamond, sapphire, and moissanite offer high scratch resistance, but any gemstone can be damaged by impact or a loose setting. Opal, moonstone, coated or fracture-filled gems, and heavily included stones may need extra care. Follow the guidance for the specific stone and treatment, and avoid heat, impact, or prolonged soaking when advised.

Store Separately

Jewelry can scratch other jewelry. Keep pieces in separate pouches, compartments, or boxes, especially black finishes, polished metals, and stones with exposed points.

Inspect Settings

Check prongs, bezels, and bands regularly. If a stone feels loose or a prong catches on fabric, stop wearing the piece and have it inspected before damage becomes loss.

Care does not need to be precious. It only needs to be consistent enough to protect the pieces that become part of your life.
