Jewellery Cleaning and Care

remove and protect: to safeguard your jewelry, it's advisable to remove your rings during the following activities:

• swimming, particularly in chlorinated pools and hot tubs
• Cleaning
• Gardening
• sports or working out

for optimal preservation, remove your pieces before sleeping, bathing, and when applying cosmetics like perfumes, sprays, creams, and oils.

cleaning your jewelry: cleaning your jewelry is a simple and straightforward process, made even easier with our sustainable, non-toxic jewelry cleaning kit.

follow our recommended practices for at-home cleaning:

1. in a bowl, combine a few drops of mild dishwashing soap with warm water.
2. let your jewelry soak in this mixture for about 15 minutes.
3. for hard-to-reach areas, use a soft-bristle toothbrush to gently scrub.
4. rinse your jewelry with warm water and pat dry.
5. for an extra shine, use a polishing cloth designed specifically for jewelry.

signs of wear:

usual signs of wear on rings: over time, rings may show signs of wear. look out for the following:

• scuffing on gold
• warping of bands (rose gold may warp faster due to its high copper content)
• darkening and oxidation from skin oils, hard water, or cosmetic products
• loosening of prongs around stones, especially after extended wear

follow these guidelines:

• store each ring separately to avoid scratches. consider using individual pouches, ring boxes, or airtight plastic bags.
• keep your jewelry away from extreme heat, sand, and moisture.
• when traveling, bring a bag or travel pouch to store your jewelry safely.
• to prevent chains from tangling, close a ziplock plastic bag over the end of chains, allowing the end to dangle slightly.
