Jewelry Care 101

This Valentine’s Day we all have a piece of jewelry that we hold close to our heart and that we’d remember forever. From the time you first laid your eyes on it, to when you slipped it on and claimed it to be yours. However, over time all fine jewelry begins to lose its shine, all metals will eventually tarnish, and debris and grime can take over making your treasures appear dull and dirty.  

 Following a cleaning regimen and jewelry care best practices can preserve the life of your jewelry and keep it looking beautiful for many years to come! We love jewelry, YOU love jewelry, let’s take care of it!


1. Proper Jewelry Storage 

Avoid storing jewelry somewhere humid, ideally away from free flowing air/dust due to the speed of the tarnishing process. To avoid scratching, do your best to keep your precious metal jewelry stored individually.
