JEWELLERY & GEMSTONE CARE

All our jewelry has been made with love by us, to be well-loved by you. With proper care, it will continue to shine.

 

HOW TO WEAR

 

The more intentional you are about caring for your jewelry, the longer it will last.

 

Remove your jewelry before doing any activity that risks physical damage.

 

As a general care tip, your jewelry should be the last thing you put on before going out and the first thing you remove upon coming home.

 

HOW TO STORE

 

When not being worn, store in a safe, dry place to protect against the elements of daily exposure.

 

Store pieces separately to avoid damage.

 

Ensure pieces are completely dry before storing.

 

Certain metals, like vermeil and sterling silver, can be prone to tarnishing. Rather than the packaging that came with your purchase, we recommend storing your pieces in our box which are lined with an anti-tarnish microsuede fabric that makes care and cleaning even easier.
