Jewelry Care

How to Wear Jewelry?

• Please remove your jewelry while swimming, bathing, washing hands, engaging in sports, or doing household chores to prevent damage.
• Make sure to securely fasten your jewelry before going out to prevent it from getting lost or falling off. When you return home, rinse it with clean water (preferably mineral water) to remove sweat stains and dust, then gently dry it with a soft cloth.
• As a best practice, wear jewelry as the final step before heading out and remove it as the first step upon returning home.
• Please do not wear jewelry while using hairspray, moisturizers, oils, or perfumes.
• When wearing jewelry with prongs, avoid catching them on clothing or leather bags. It is recommended to put on your jewelry after you have finished dressing.
• Handle with care to avoid impact or friction. Fragile gemstones such as emeralds are prone to breakage, so extra caution is required when wearing them.
• Refrain from frequent handling of gemstones (except jade and white jade) to prevent oils from your hands from affecting the gemstone's shine and brilliance.
• To mitigate discoloration, avoid exposing your jewelry to household cleaning products, particularly chlorine bleach, and abrasive washing powders, cleansers, and toothpaste.

How to Store Jewelry?

• Make sure all pieces are completely dry before storing them.
• Keep individual pieces separated to prevent potential damage.
• Store your jewelry in a designated jewelry box, ensuring that gemstones face upward and avoid contact with other items to prevent damage or scratches. If a jewelry box is unavailable, wrap your jewelry in a clean, soft cloth.
• Jewelry can be affected by extreme dryness or humidity. Store your jewelry in appropriate conditions to ensure longevity and minimize potential damage.

How to Clean Jewelry?

• Promptly remove jewelry when not worn. Use a soft cotton cloth to wipe the jewelry or soak it in warm water with a neutral detergent for cleaning. Avoid rough objects like toothbrushes that can scratch the jewelry's surface.
• After cleaning jewelry with gemstones, place it in a shaded, cool area to air dry. Avoid direct sunlight as it can cause damage from UV rays.

Care Guides by Material

Diamonds

• Despite being one of the most durable natural materials, diamonds can still get damaged in certain situations.
• Exercise caution when wearing diamond jewelry during strenuous activities. Refrain from touching its surface with bare hands or skin; use oil-absorbing tissues or clean paper instead.
• Clean your diamond jewelry every few weeks to a month if worn regularly. Use mild detergent and a soft toothbrush to gently brush it, rinse with clean water, and dry with a soft cloth. Check for loose settings and repair if necessary.

Gemstones

• Handle gemstones with care, as they vary in hardness.
• Protect colored gemstones from excessive sunlight, saltwater, sweat, and chemicals like chlorine, cosmetics, and lotions.
• Use a gentle approach with a soft cloth or toothbrush and mild detergent in warm water for ruby and sapphire jewelry. Avoid steam or ultrasonic cleaners.

K Gold Jewelry

• K gold is resistant to oxidation and discoloration, making it suitable for everyday wear.
• Avoid activities that may strain your jewelry. Over time, use a K gold cloth for light polishing or have it professionally polished every 2-3 years.

Gold Vermeil

• Gold vermeil will eventually tarnish, especially when exposed to air pollution, moisture, and sulfur-containing substances.
• Simple methods can restore its shine. Store it in a secure, moisture-free location with an anti-tarnish strip.

Sterling Silver

• Wipe with a soft, damp cloth to remove tarnish or use a silver polishing cloth. Ultrasonic cleaners are safe for sterling silver, but avoid water or polish on oxidized silver.

Enamel

• Handle enamel jewelry with care despite its durability against chipping.
• Store enamel jewelry in a secure, dry location to protect it from daily wear and tear.
• To clean enamel jewelry, use warm soapy water and a gentle cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or polishing cloths.

Pearl Jewelry

• Pearls are sensitive to external factors and can lose their shine and luster when exposed to acidic or alkaline substances, sweat, cosmetics, and detergents. Handle them with care.
• Avoid wearing pearl jewelry during strenuous activities or in harsh conditions, such as windy seasons or hot summers.
• Store pearls in safe conditions, avoiding dryness that can lead to cracking. Do not leave necklaces hanging for extended periods to prevent thread deformation.
• For cleaning, do not use abrasive cleaners or polishing cloths. Avoid steam or ultrasonic cleaners. Instead, gently wipe pearls with a soft cloth after wearing them.
