Caring for your jewellery

When caring for your jewellery, it’s important to understand the vulnerabilities of precious metals and stones, and apply these to your lifestyle. To carefully maintain your precious piece, we recommend avoiding impact, pressure or extreme temperatures to your jewellery. Metal, natural gemstones and even diamonds can crack or chip upon impact with the wrong object. Chemicals and some household substances can weaken or damage natural gemstones, even if not immediately apparent.

The most important factor when caring for fine jewellery, is understanding appropriate wear. As much as we want you to love and enjoy wearing your jewellery, its important to remove your jewellery when:

• Showering or bathing

• Sleeping

• Applying cosmetic products or perfumes. Always put on jewellery after

• Exercising, especially at the gym. Fine jewellery can be easily damaged by contact with weights or gym machinery, as well as by heat and pressure

• Cooking, washing up, cleaning

• Swimming. Avoid chlorinated and salt water

• Doing any hands on work, where your jewellery is exposed to chemicals or force

Depending on your professional life, you will need to carefully assess whether your piece should be worn during working hours. If in doubt about whether you should wear your piece in a specific situation, be safe and take it off. Adhering to these guidelines will assist in maximising the longevity of your piece.

When selecting fine jewellery for your engagement or wedding ring, you must be aware of the additional care and maintenance guidelines to ensure the longevity of your piece. Pieces are only guaranteed in the case where jewellery has been cared for in line with the provided care instructions. Fine pieces require additional care over the course of time.
