Care Guide
JEWELRY CARE GUIDE
At our studio, every piece is crafted to celebrate modern strength and effortless refinement. To preserve the exceptional brilliance, structural integrity, and enduring beauty of your jewelry, we invite you to follow this curated care ritual.
1. General Care & Wear
True elegance is resilient, yet mindful. Protecting your jewelry from daily environmental factors ensures its timeless story continues to shine.
-
The Golden Rule: Always make your jewelry the last thing you put on in the morning and the first thing you take off at night.
-
Chemical Exposure: Avoid direct contact with perfumes, hairsprays, body lotions, and cosmetics. Allow these products to dry completely on your skin before putting on your jewelry.
-
Active Lifestyles: Remove your pieces before swimming in chlorinated pools or saltwater, exercising, or performing rigorous household tasks. Sweat and harsh chemicals can dull the metal and erode protective platings.
2. Cleaning Guide
A simple cleaning routine keeps your collection looking immaculate and sharp without compromising its fine details.
-
The Daily Wipe: After each wear, gently wipe your jewelry with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth or a specialized jewelry polishing cloth to remove surface oils and dust.
-
Gentle Cleaning (Metal Elements Only):
-
Prepare a bowl of lukewarm water mixed with a few drops of mild, scent-free dish soap.
-
Instead of soaking, dip a lint-free soft cloth or an ultra-soft bristle toothbrush into the soapy water.
-
Gently and quickly wipe or brush the intricate chains, textures, or settings to lift any buildup. Do not submerge or soak gold-plated pieces.
-
Rinse the piece briefly under clean, lukewarm running water to remove soap residue.
-
Dry immediately and thoroughly with a soft towel. Never allow your jewelry to air dry or remain damp.
-
-
Important Caution: Never use abrasive chemical cleaners, sonic cleaners, boiling water, or rough paper towels, as they can scratch or prematurely strip the precious metal plating.

3. Pearl Special Care
As organic, delicate treasures of nature, pearls require an entirely unique approach to maintenance. They thrive on mindful handling.
-
Never Soak Pearls: Unlike metal jewelry, pearls must never be submerged in water or scrubbed with brushes. Water can weaken the internal silk thread or the adhesive backing holding them in place.
-
Gentle Cleaning Only: To clean your pearls, use a slightly damp, ultra-soft cotton cloth after wearing to remove traces of sweat or natural oils.
-
Let Them Breathe: Do not store pearls in airtight plastic bags or ultra-dry safety deposit boxes for extended periods. Pearls absorb moisture from the air; keeping them sealed away can cause them to dry out, lose their iridescence, or crack.
4. Long-Term Storage
Proper storage prevents the two biggest quiet enemies of jewelry: scratching and oxidation.
-
Individual Sanctuary: Store each piece individually in its original pouch or a lined compartment of a jewelry box. This prevents metals and pearls from rubbing against one another and scratching.
-
Keep Chains Fastened: Always clasp your necklaces and bracelets before storing them to prevent intricate links from tangling or tangling with other pieces.
-
Climate Control: Keep your jewelry collection in a cool, dry, and dark place away from direct sunlight, extreme heat, or high humidity (such as bathrooms).
5. Helpful Reminders
-
Plating Longevity: All gold-plated pieces naturally experience wear over time, evolving beautifully with your lifestyle. Following this care guide will significantly extend the life and vibrancy of the plating.
-
Natural Variation: Because we utilize hand-selected natural pearls, slight variations in color, luster, and shape are a testament to their authentic, organic origin—making your piece entirely unrepeatable.
