Care guide
Treasures, kept beautifully.
The everyday essentials.
Semi-precious stones and pearls are porous and delicate by nature. They don't like water, soap or sudden temperature changes. Treat them the way you would a piece of fine fabric, kindly, and they'll stay vivid for years.
The rule of thumb: put jewelry on last in the morning, and take it off first at night.
Do
- Polish gold and silver with a soft microfibre cloth.
- Store pieces in a dry, dark place, ideally lying flat.
- Put jewelry on last, after perfume, sunscreen and creams.
- Restyle gently, open the connectors slowly to avoid stressing the metal.
Don't
- Don't shower, swim or bathe with your jewelry.
- Avoid contact with perfume, hairspray, lotions and chemicals.
- Remove pieces before sleep, exercise and heavy lifting.
- Don't store pieces piled together, they will scratch each other.
Pearls
Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth after wearing. Never soak. Body oils actually help maintain their luster, so wear them often.
Gold
Polish with a microfibre cloth to restore shine. For 14k and 9k pieces, mild soapy water and a soft brush can be used occasionally, then dry thoroughly.
Stones
Lapis, turquoise, malachite and other softer stones can dull from chemicals. Keep them away from perfume and cleaning agents.
