Our mission is to educate you on how to properly care for your jewelry, including avoiding certain activities, cleaning methods, and storage practices.

Diamonds

Diamonds are one of the most popular jewelry items due to their durability and ability to shine brightly. We know that diamonds are highly valued based on the 4 C's: Color, Cut, Clarity, and Carat Weight. For diamond jewelry, it's important to avoid wearing it during manual labor and to clean it with ammonia and water or commercial cleaners, avoiding chlorine-containing substances.

Gold

Gold is a rare and valuable metal, with its value based on the karat system. Whether it's 24K pure gold or 10K gold with an alloy, it's essential to be wary of makeup, moisture, and chemicals that could affect its appearance. Keep gold jewelry out of swimming pools with chlorine and check it regularly for scratches or damage.

Platinum

Platinum is known for its purity, often above 90%, and its strength against tarnishing. It's a popular choice in jewelry making. Cleaning patterns for platinum are the same as other metals, and it's fortunate that it does not lose its polish easily. When combined with other fine jewelry components, it's important to care for those as well.

Silver

Silver is a valuable metal that can achieve a great polish but can tarnish when combined with other metals. It's scratch-resistant but not scratch-proof. Special silver jewelry cleaning solutions can benefit its care, and it's important to prevent exposure to direct air and light. Avoid placing silver in chlorine-containing materials and be selective with cleaning materials.
