Caring For Your Jewelry

Your jewelry will last a lifetime, if you treat it with the care it deserves.

Different gemstones have different physical properties. That means they can react very differently to heat, light, acids, soaps and scratches. Some gems are heat sensitive. Other materials may have a negative reaction to chemicals. On the other hand, some gems are quite durable. Nevertheless, keeping them clean is important to the life of them.

Cleaning your gemstones after they get dirty is only part of proper care. Pre-use care is also very important.

Apply your perfumes, colognes, and hairsprays before you put on your gemstone jewelry. Not only will these chemicals reduce gem brilliance and the ability to return light, they can be highly destructive to some gems, such as turquoise and opals, which react negatively to oils, acid and alcohol.

When in doubt, just remember the four S's:

Swim, Sleep, Sweat, and Shower. While your jewelry is meant to be worn everyday, it's not meant to be worn all day and these are the four most common situations that will dull your jewelry over time so remember to remove your jewels while engaging in these four activities.

We suggest polishing our jewelry with a soft cloth to keep the gems clean and looking their best. Other than that, you shouldn’t normally need to use water or cleaners to clean them.

*For Turquoise: Wipe with a clean, damp cloth, then wipe dry immediately. Avoid cleaning this porous gem material with soap, detergents, or cleaning solutions. They tend to penetrate the material, thus altering the natural color.

**Do NOT get your jewelry wet or submerge it in water**
