JEWELRY CARE GUIDE

Daily Care Tips

Remove your jewelry during activities like sports, swimming, or household chores to protect it from chemicals and scratches. Avoid exposing your pieces to harsh chemicals such as acetone, chlorine, bleach, and ammonia, as these can damage gemstones, metals, and the inlay. Apply lotions, perfumes, and hair sprays before putting on your jewelry to prevent dulling of metals and inlay work. Sudden temperature changes may weaken adhesives and affect certain gemstones. Treat your memorial jewelry, especially pieces with inlay, with extra care to prevent damage or unnecessary wear.

Cleaning & Polishing Guidelines

Clean your jewelry gently using mild soap and a soft toothbrush. Mix a small amount of soap with warm water, brush away dirt carefully, rinse, and dry thoroughly before storing your piece in a safe, dry place. Avoid harsh cleaners or abrasive materials, as they can harm your jewelry. Use the included non-abrasive polishing cloth to maintain shine. For best results, I recommend visiting a jeweler once a year for professional cleaning and inspection to keep your pieces in top condition.

Storage & Travel Advice

Store each piece separately in the provided soft pouch or a lined jewelry box to prevent scratches or tangling with other items. When traveling, use a dedicated jewelry travel case to keep your pieces safe and secure.

Wear, Scratches & Professional Care

All jewelry may develop minor surface scratches over time. Professional polishing can restore their original luster. Pieces with embedded stones or memorial inlay can be safely polished and cleaned using ultrasonic methods, though some gemstones may not be suitable for this treatment. Always consult a local jeweler to ensure proper cleaning.
