How To Take Care Of Your Jewlery: Turning Pieces Into Heirlooms

Jewelry is meant to be worn and enjoyed- but with the right care, it can become something lasting, a piece that stays with you and can be passed down through generations.

To preserve it beautifully, how you store your jewelry matters. When not being worn, keep it in a dry, dark place. Prolonged exposure to light and heat can affect both metals and gemstones over time. Ideally, pieces are stored separately to avoid scratches, though even small precautions already make a difference.

Daily habits play an important role. It’s best to remove your jewelry before showering, sleeping, or physical activities, as moisture and friction can affect its finish- especially with silver, which can oxidize more easily. Perfume, lotions, and skincare should always come first, with jewelry as the final touch.

When it comes to cleaning, less is more. Avoid harsh or abrasive products like toothpaste. Instead, use a mild dish soap with lukewarm water and clean gently with a soft toothbrush if needed. To dry and restore its shine, use a soft polishing cloth- each of our pieces comes with one- rather than towels or rough fabrics that could cause scratches.

Over time, fine scratches can naturally appear. These can be carefully polished away to restore the surface. For gold vermeil or gold-plated pieces, this may require re-plating depending on the wear.

For a deeper clean or more delicate care, professional cleaning is always an option. Our pieces are cleaned free of charge, while other items can be serviced for a small fee.

Taking care of your jewelry doesn’t mean wearing it less- it simply means wearing it with intention.

 

Bring in your piece for professional cleaning or restoration, and let it shine the way it was meant to.
