Yellow · White · Rose
Gold Jewelry
- Clean with warm water, a drop of mild dish soap, and a soft-bristle brush. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
- White gold is rhodium-plated for brightness — avoid abrasive cleaners that wear down the plating over time.
- Rose gold's warm hue comes from its copper content, making it slightly more sensitive to acids and heavy chemicals. Remove before swimming or using cleaning products.
- Store in a soft pouch or lined box, away from other pieces that could scratch the surface.
- Remove gold jewelry before entering pools, hot tubs, or the ocean — chlorine and salt water weaken gold alloys over time.
925 Sterling
Silver Jewelry
- Silver tarnishes naturally when exposed to air and moisture — this is normal and entirely reversible. A soft polishing cloth restores its shine quickly.
- For a deeper clean, use a silver-specific cleaner or a gentle paste of baking soda and water applied with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry completely.
- Store silver in an airtight bag or anti-tarnish pouch when not in use — this significantly slows tarnishing.
- Keep silver away from rubber, latex, and wool, which accelerate tarnishing due to sulfur compounds.
- Wearing your silver jewelry regularly actually helps maintain its luster — the natural oils in your skin polish it gently over time.
Pt950 · Pt900
Platinum Jewelry
- Platinum is one of the most durable metals in jewelry — it does not tarnish or corrode. Warm soapy water and a soft brush is all it needs.
- Over time, platinum develops a soft patina that many collectors love. If you prefer a high polish, a jeweler can re-buff it easily.
- Though durable, platinum can still be scratched. Store it separately from other metals and hard gemstones.
- Avoid exposing platinum to chlorine bleach, which can cause structural damage to the metal over extended contact.
Stainless · Titanium · Tungsten
Alternative Metals
- Stainless steel, titanium, and tungsten are highly resistant to tarnish, rust, and everyday wear — they are among the most low-maintenance metals available.
- Clean with warm water and mild soap using a soft cloth. Dry thoroughly to prevent water spots.
- Avoid abrasive scrubbing pads or harsh chemical cleaners, which can dull or scratch the finish.
- Tungsten is extremely hard but can crack under sudden sharp impact — avoid dropping it on tile or stone surfaces.
- IP-plated or PVD-coated pieces (black, gold-tone finishes) should be handled gently to preserve the coating — avoid contact with harsh chemicals and abrasives.
Natural · Lab Grown · CZ
Diamond & Stone Jewelry
- Diamonds attract oils and lotions, which dim their brilliance over time. A weekly wipe with a soft cloth keeps them sparkling between deeper cleanings.
- Soak briefly in warm water with mild dish soap, then gently scrub the underside of the setting with a soft toothbrush — this is where buildup collects most.
- Cubic Zirconia (CZ) stones can be cleaned the same way but are softer and more prone to surface wear — handle with extra care.
- Inspect prongs periodically for any looseness. If a stone feels unstable, stop wearing the piece and have it checked by a local jeweler before the stone is lost.
- Diamonds can scratch other gemstones — store diamond pieces separately or in individual compartments.
Sapphire · Ruby · Emerald & More
Colored Gemstones
- Most colored gemstones — sapphires, rubies, amethysts, topaz — can be cleaned gently with mild soap, warm water, and a soft brush. Dry thoroughly after.
- Emeralds are often treated with oils to enhance clarity. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, steam, and soaking, which can draw out the treatment and dull the stone.
- Opals are sensitive to temperature changes and low humidity, which can cause them to crack. Keep opal jewelry away from direct heat and dry conditions.
- Turquoise, malachite, and other porous stones absorb chemicals and moisture easily — clean with a dry or barely damp cloth only, never soak.
- When in doubt about a specific gemstone, a dry soft cloth is always the safest option.
Freshwater · Akoya · South Sea
Pearl Jewelry
- Pearls are among the most delicate of all jewelry materials. Their luster depends on preserving the thin nacre layer that surrounds the pearl.
- Wipe pearls with a soft, damp cloth after every wear — perspiration, perfume, and skin oils are the most common causes of nacre deterioration.
- Never spray perfume, hairspray, or apply lotion while wearing pearls. The rule: pearls go on last and come off first.
- Do not soak pearls in water or submerge them — prolonged moisture weakens the silk thread in stranded pieces and can damage the nacre.
- Store flat in a soft cloth or pouch — never in an airtight container, as pearls benefit from a small amount of moisture in the air.
- Have pearl strands restrung every few years if worn regularly, especially if you notice any slack in the thread between beads.
Good Habits for Every Piece
Universal Care
- Remove all jewelry before swimming, bathing, exercising, gardening, or any hands-on activity. This single habit prevents the majority of damage.
- Put your jewelry on after applying makeup, lotion, hairspray, and perfume — not before.
- Store each piece individually in a soft pouch or lined compartment to prevent scratching and tangling.
- Inspect clasps, prongs, and settings periodically. Catching small issues early prevents larger — and more costly — ones later.
- When in doubt, a dry soft cloth is always safe. When uncertain about a cleaning method for a specific piece, err on the side of gentleness.
