Jewellery Care Instructions

Care depends on the metal, gemstone, treatment and setting of your piece. If you are unsure which cleaning method is suitable, contact us with the product name before cleaning it.

Everyday wear and storage

Remove jewellery before swimming, cleaning or activities that could knock or snag it. Keep it away from household chemicals, perfume and sudden temperature changes. Store pieces separately in soft pouches or a lined jewellery box.

Before cleaning

Check for loose stones or damaged settings. Stop wearing a piece with a loose stone and ask a jeweller to inspect it. Do not use an ultrasonic or steam cleaner unless a jeweller has confirmed that it is suitable for the whole piece.

Gold, diamonds, sapphire and ruby

A stone's hardness alone does not determine how it should be cleaned. Treatments and the condition of its setting also matter. Fracture-filled, cavity-filled or dyed ruby and sapphire should be cleaned only with a damp cloth. Ask us for guidance if you do not know how your stone has been treated.

Silver, coral and carved pieces

Ask us before using a polishing compound, silver dip or other cleaning product on a piece containing gemstones, coral, plating or a decorative finish. Avoid soaking a piece until its materials and suitable care method have been confirmed.

Ring sizing and servicing

We contact you after purchase to confirm your ring size. Any charge for additional gold will be confirmed before resizing. For an existing piece that needs attention, contact us with its product name and the work you would like us to assess.
