How do I care for my jewelry?

Visit our Care & Clean page here.

Soaps, lotions and other everyday items can leave a hazy residue on your diamond and setting, reducing the brilliance of the stone. There are jewelry cleaning solutions in the marketplace that you can use to clean the stone and setting, but an easy household solution is to use a mild dish soap mixed with water, lightly brush with a soft bristled tooth brush and then rinse in warm water. Dry with a lint-free cloth.

How often should my jewelry be checked and cleaned?

Having your jewels checked every 6 or 12 months ensures that your stones are secure and allow us to keep an eye on every day wear and tear. We perform this service for free on all the jewelry we sell.

Repairs

What is the cost of a ring sizing?
