How should I clean gold or diamond jewelry at home?

Use mild dish soap and warm water, brush gently with a soft brush, rinse, and pat dry.

Is it safe to use silver polish on gold-plated jewelry?

No. For plated or vermeil pieces, use only mild soap and lukewarm water—abrasive polishes can remove plating.

How do I care for pearls and delicate stones like opal or turquoise?

Wipe with a barely damp soft cloth. Do not soak or use steam/ultrasonic cleaners.

What should I avoid to prevent damage or tarnish?

Avoid chlorine/hot tubs, harsh chemicals (bleach, ammonia, acetone), sulfur springs, abrasive pastes, and paper towels.

Jewelry Care Guide

Daily basics

Last on, first off. Put jewelry on after lotions, perfume, hairspray; remove before sleep, shower, gym, and swimming.
Wipe after wear. Use a soft, dry cloth to remove oils and moisture.

Cleaning at home

Solid gold & most diamonds: Mild dish soap + warm water; soft brush; rinse; pat dry.
Sterling silver: Silver polishing cloth. For tarnish: soap + warm water; dry fully.
Gold-plated / vermeil: Soap + lukewarm water only—no polishing creams/abrasives.
Pearls, opals, turquoise, malachite, coral: Wipe with a barely damp soft cloth; no soaking, steam, or ultrasonics.

Storage

Dry, closed, separate. Use pouches/compartments to prevent scratches and tangles.
Anti-tarnish: Store silver with anti-tarnish strips; avoid bathroom humidity.

Wear & tear tips

Chains: Remove for workouts and sleep to prevent stretching or kinks.
Rings: Avoid harsh cleaners and weightlifting; soaps can loosen settings over time.
Plated finishes: Expect natural wear on high-friction areas; gentle care extends life.

Checks

Quarterly check: Look for loose stones, bent prongs, worn clasps. If something snags, stop wear and contact us.

Avoid

Chlorine/hot tubs, bleach/ammonia, acetone, sulfur springs, abrasive pastes, and paper towels.

Quick refresher: Wipe it → store it dry and separate → wash gently when dull → skip chemicals and ultrasonics for delicate stones and all plated pieces.
