All fine jewelry is delicate by nature. The surface finish of jewelry will begin to evolve with
wear. It's normal to see small marks on rings as they make contact with objects
(often most noticeable on brand new rings during the first weeks of wear).

Avoiding impact, pressure, chemicals and extreme temperatures is essential for fine jewelry care. Gold, gemstones, and even diamonds can be damaged with improper care.

• All exercise and sports
• Washing dishes
• Gardening
• Moving furniture
• During work (If you have an active job)
• Sleeping (Your setting can be under significant pressure without you being aware.
  This is especially important for slim rings and those with only one connection
  point)
• Bathing, swimming, hot tubs
• Playing catch
• Art/craft projects
• Any activity which could result in an impact to your ring
• Extreme temperatures and pressure
• Chemicals, such as bleach, ammonia, chlorine, household cleaners
• When applying creams and lotions, such as moisturizers and sunscreens

Centre stones can be loosened by a single accidental impact. To ensure that your stone is tight,
gently tap it with a pin and watch for movement. A loose stone often makes a ‘clicking’ sound when the ring is shaken. If a stone is loose, immediately refrain from wearing your ring until it has been professionally re-tensioned.

Due to their delicate nature, pavé and small accent diamond settings require care. The tiny, handmade prongs holding each diamond can be damaged by a single impact, or continuous abrasion, which wears away the metal. Pressure (such as wearing a ring during weightlifting, cycling or other heavy gripping) can bend or stretch the band, which loosens the settings. Should an accent stone come loose, immediately refrain from wearing your ring
until it has been repaired (as adjacent diamonds will also likely be loose).

Rose gold and platinum are softer than all other fine metals. Pieces made with rose gold or platinum are prone to damage/signs of wear.

Gemstones, including sapphires, emeralds, rubies, alexandrite and all other non-diamonds are softer. Gemstones are susceptible to scratching and damage during wear. Ensure to wear gemstone jewelry gently, keep free from chemicals and clean only with non-abrasive solutions.

We do not recommend the use of consumer grade (at home) ultrasonic cleaners. Overuse of ultrasonic cleaners can lead to stone loosening/loss. They can also damage jewelry by making contact with the interior of the machine during use. If you choose to use an ultrasonic, we recommend using it sparingly (i.e. every 6 months) and ensuring your jewelry is suspended in the water never sitting on the bottom.

This method is only suitable for gold and platinum jewelry set with diamonds or sapphires: 

1.  Place a dollop of dish liquid in a bowl

2.  Pour a cup of warm water over mild dish liquid and mix

3.  Place your ring in the solution for 15-20 minutes

4.  Gently brush the underside of your stones with a soft bristle toothbrush

5.  Rinse in warm water

6.  Repeat steps 1-5 if necessary
