Jewellery & Gemstone Care Guidelines

Fine gemstones and precious metals require thoughtful care to preserve their natural brilliance and structural beauty for generations:

Avoid Harsh ChemicalsKeep jewellery away from perfumes, hair sprays, detergents, sanitizers, and household bleach.
Avoid Water & ChlorineRemove rings and necklaces before swimming in chlorinated pools, saunas, hot tubs, or ocean bathing.
Physical Activity ProtectionRemove jewellery during workouts, sports, heavy lifting, or manual work to prevent metal bending or stone impact.
Dedicated Soft StorageStore individual pieces separately in soft pouches or velvet-lined boxes to prevent surface scratching.

Normal signs of daily wear, including minor hairline scratches and natural patina on metals, are standard characteristics of authentic jewellery and are not manufacturing defects.
