Jewelry Care Guide

Proper care keeps your jewelry looking new for decades. Built to last — treat it that way.

Daily Routine

Put on last. Apply perfume, lotion, and hair products before jewelry.

Take off first. Remove jewelry before bed, exercise, or shower.

Wipe down. Use a soft cloth after each wear to remove oils.

Wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth after each wear to remove oils and moisture.
Store in an airtight bag or anti-tarnish pouch to slow oxidation.
Use a silver polishing cloth for light tarnish. For heavier tarnish, use a silver-safe cleaning solution.
Avoid wearing silver in chlorinated pools, hot tubs, or salt water.
Tarnishing is natural and expected — it does not indicate a defect.

Gold vermeil is 2.5 microns of gold over sterling silver — thicker and more durable than standard plating.
Clean with warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush. Dry thoroughly with a lint-free cloth.
Avoid abrasive cleaners, polishing compounds, or ultrasonic cleaners which can wear the gold layer.
Remove before swimming, showering, or exercising to preserve the gold finish.
With proper care, gold vermeil can maintain its appearance for years. Re-plating is available — contact [email protected].

Keep leather dry. If it gets wet, pat with a dry cloth and let it air dry naturally — never use heat.
Condition leather every 3-6 months with a leather conditioner to prevent cracking.
Store leather goods in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Avoid contact with oils, perfumes, and lotions which can stain or discolor leather.
Leather develops a natural patina over time — this is a desirable characteristic, not damage.

Check stone settings periodically for looseness. If a stone moves, stop wearing and contact us.
Clean gemstones with warm soapy water and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Remove jewelry before activities that could impact stones (sports, heavy lifting, gardening).
Some stones (turquoise, opal, pearl) are porous — avoid prolonged water exposure and chemicals.
Have settings inspected annually by a jeweler to ensure stones remain secure.

Avoid prolonged sun exposure — UV can fade certain stones and materials.

Avoid wearing during high-impact activities or sports.

Remove before swimming, showering, or hot tubs — chlorine and salt damage metals.

Never store jewelry in humid environments like bathrooms.

Store each piece separately to prevent scratching. Use individual pouches or compartments.
Keep silver in airtight bags with anti-tarnish strips to slow oxidation.
Store in a cool, dry place — avoid bathrooms and humid environments.
For leather goods, stuff with acid-free paper to maintain shape. Store flat or hung.
Use a jewelry box with a soft lining. Avoid stacking pieces directly on top of each other.
