Cleaning and Caring for your Jewelry

Regular check ups and cleaning by a skilled jeweler is highly recommended. Besides the beautiful look and sparkle, cleaning your jewelry regularly will help prevent potential damage and allows you to wear your cherished pieces longer. Polishing cloths and jewelry cleaner can be used at home to handle minor cleaning, but you should consult with your jewelry before using any home remedy, as certain gemstones and metals require special care.

A Few Tips In Jewelry Care: 

• Remove your jewelry when working with any household chemicals

• Never place Opals, Emeralds, Pearls or Tanzanite in jewelry cleaners

• Sterling Silver and Gold jewelry should be cleaned separately

• Ultrasonic cleaners can be harmful to most gemstones and should be mainly used for Diamonds, Sapphires and Rubies.

• Pearls and other soft gemstones can easily be scratched by other jewelry. Store your jewelry separately, if possible place each piece in a soft cloth.
