Luxury Jewelry Care Guide

Luxury jewelry is designed to last a lifetime when cared for properly. Whether your piece is brand new or a carefully selected pre-owned treasure, following these simple care tips will help preserve its beauty, brilliance, and value.

Daily Care

To protect your jewelry from unnecessary wear, we recommend removing it before:

  • Exercising or playing sports
  • Heavy lifting
  • Gardening or yard work
  • Household cleaning
  • Cooking or baking
  • Swimming in pools, hot tubs, or the ocean
  • Showering or bathing

Although fine jewelry is crafted for everyday enjoyment, avoiding these activities helps minimize scratches, impact damage, and unnecessary wear.

Avoid Chemicals

Everyday products can gradually affect the appearance of precious metals and gemstones.

Avoid direct contact with:

  • Perfume
  • Sunscreen
  • Lotion
  • Hair spray
  • Cosmetics
  • Household cleaning products
  • Chlorine
  • Bleach

Allow these products to dry completely before putting on your jewelry.

Store Your Jewelry Properly

  • Store each piece separately to prevent scratches.
  • Use a soft jewelry pouch or a lined jewelry box.
  • Keep jewelry in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity.
  • Avoid storing multiple pieces together, especially those containing diamonds or hard gemstones.

Cleaning Your Jewelry

Routine cleaning helps maintain your jewelry's natural brilliance.

For most gold, platinum, and diamond jewelry:

  1. Fill a small bowl with warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap.
  2. Soak the jewelry for approximately 10–15 minutes.
  3. Gently clean with a soft-bristled toothbrush.
  4. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
  5. Dry with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth.

Avoid using abrasive cleaners, toothpaste, or rough brushes, as they may scratch precious metals or gemstones.

Professional Inspection

We recommend having your jewelry professionally inspected once or twice a year.

Regular inspections help ensure:

  • Prongs remain secure.
  • Gemstones stay firmly set.
  • Clasps function properly.
  • Normal wear is identified before it becomes a concern.

Professional maintenance helps preserve both the appearance and long-term value of your jewelry.

Special Care for Luxury Pieces

Many luxury jewelry designs feature delicate craftsmanship, intricate settings, or specialty finishes. To help preserve their original condition:

  • Avoid dropping jewelry or knocking it against hard surfaces.
  • Remove jewelry before sleeping whenever possible.
  • Avoid exposing jewelry to extreme temperatures.
  • Handle each piece gently when putting it on or taking it off.

Pearls & Soft Gemstones

Pearls, opals, turquoise, coral, and other soft gemstones require additional care.

  • Clean only with a soft, damp cloth.
  • Avoid ultrasonic cleaners.
  • Keep away from perfumes and harsh chemicals.
  • Store separately from harder gemstones to prevent scratches.
