Regular Cleaning
Soft Polish
Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe your jewelry after wearing it. This helps remove oils and dirt.
Gentle Wash
For a deeper clean, mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water. Soak your jewelry for a few minutes, then gently scrub with a soft toothbrush, particularly for intricate designs.
Storage
Separate Compartments
Store jewelry in a soft-lined box or individual pouches to prevent scratching and tangling.
Avoid Humidity
Keep your jewelry in a dry place, as moisture can tarnish metals and damage stones.
Avoid Chemicals
Limit Exposure
Remove jewelry when using cleaning products, applying lotions, or swimming in chlorinated water, as chemicals can damage both metals and gemstones.
Softer gemstones such as emeralds, opals, and pearls are particularly susceptible to damage or discoloration from perfumes, lotions, and chemicals so best practice is always "last on, first off"
Periodic Inspections and Professional Cleaning
Check Settings
Periodically inspect your jewelry for loose stones or damaged clasps. Early detection can prevent loss or further damage.
Loose gemstones can be easily detected by holding the piece close to your ear and gently tapping with the pad of your finger, any loose stones will audibly move around.
Professional Cleaning
Consider having your fine jewelry professionally cleaned and inspected once a year.

Avoid wearing fine jewelry during activities that could cause damage, like exercising or doing heavy chores such as gardening or dish washing.
