Care for your items
FOR EVERYDAY WEAR
FOR EVERYDAY WEAR
Jewelry made to be worn
Your jewelry is meant to live with you. Wearing it often is the best way to preserve its luster, especially for solid gold. Micro-scratches and patina are part of its story — they tell the tale of your everyday life.
Jewelry is worn, sometimes forgotten, then rediscovered.
Key takeaways:
• Wear your jewelry regularly.
• Store them in their case when not wearing them.
• Embrace the marks of time as part of their story.

A few simple steps are enough
Precious materials don't demand much, but they appreciate attention.
Solid gold: Gently wash your jewelry in lukewarm water with a mild soap. A soft brush and a clean cloth are all you need to restore its luster.
Silver: Silver is a dynamic material that can naturally tarnish over time. A polishing cloth or a specific product will help restore its shine.
Stones and pearls: Use a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products and overly frequent cleaning.
Taking care of a piece of jewelry simply means giving it a little time.

Things to avoid
Jewelry is meant to be worn, but a few precautions can help preserve its beauty. Avoid direct contact with perfume, cosmetics, and household products, significant impacts like repeated rubbing between multiple pieces, and prolonged swimming in pools or saltwater, especially for plated jewelry. Storing jewelry loosely, which can cause scratches, should also be avoided. Pearls and some natural stones require particular care. Some marks disappear, while others become cherished memories.
Special care for gold-plated jewelry
Gold-plated jewelry is particularly susceptible to friction, which is the primary cause of plating wear. To preserve its shine, remove it before swimming, beach days, washing dishes, household chores, sports, and sleep. Also, avoid trying to polish it by rubbing: abrasive sponges, brushes, or cloths cause micro-scratches that gradually alter the metal's surface. When necessary, gold-plated pieces can be re-plated in the workshop to restore their original luster; this service may incur an additional charge.
