Maintaining your jewelry lengthens it life, and keeps it sparkling!

Ring care

To keep your ring safe and your settings secure, remove it for activities such as gardening, weightlifting, working with tools, and swimming.

To keep your ring clean and beautiful, remove it when cooking or putting on lotion, sunscreen, or perfume. Things like batter, grease, or lotion coat your stones, making them look less brilliant.

Specialty gemstone care

Some stones are softer and require extra care to keep them secure. These stones, like pearls, emeralds, opals, and turquoise, should be the last thing you put on before leaving your home, and the first thing you take off when returning. Also remove them for sports, cleaning, gardening, and swimming.

Avoid spraying perfume when wearing pearls; it can cause the pearls to discolor. For opals, we recommend that you avoid water or high temperatures, so they don’t discolor, crack, break or dislodge.

Jewelry Safety Tips

It’s important your ring isn't too big, as it can slip off and can be lost. Your finger size can change over time and even day to day. However, if you find your ring is consistently to loose, have us size it.

When you remove your ring, put it in a safe place, preferably in the same place every time, out of the reach of pets and children.
