Care & aftercare

A little care between wears.

Different materials need different care. Keep each piece protected between wears, and ask a jeweler about cleaning and inspection for its stones, metal and setting.

Care & aftercare

Give each piece its own space.

Use a soft pouch or a lined compartment so pieces do not rub together. Keep chains apart from other jewelry, and pad pieces separately when traveling. Pearls should be kept away from sharp surfaces and very hot, dry storage.

Care & aftercare

Be gentle with pearls.

After wearing a pearl piece such as Orbit, gently wipe the pearl with a soft cloth. Avoid direct contact with perfume, hairspray and household cleaning products. Ask a jeweler about any cleaning beyond a light wipe.

Care & aftercare

Ask about the whole setting.

A sapphire’s care can depend on its treatment, and a piece also includes its metal and settings. For Tide, ask for guidance covering the sapphire, shoulder diamonds and gold together. Do not assume a cleaner suited to one stone is right for the whole ring.

Care & aftercare

Notice what has changed.

If a clasp feels different, a setting catches or a stone seems loose, set the piece aside and ask a jeweler to inspect it. Discuss an inspection routine that suits the piece and how often you wear it.

A few useful
questions.

Can I clean every piece in the same way?
No. Materials, gemstone treatments and settings can need different care. Ask a jeweler for instructions for the complete piece rather than choosing a method from its appearance.
Can Orbit go in an ultrasonic cleaner?
No. GIA advises against ultrasonic cleaning for pearls. A jeweler can explain suitable care for the pearl and its gold setting.
How should I store pieces together?
Separate them in soft pouches or lined compartments to limit rubbing and scratches. Give delicate materials such as pearls their own protected space.
What should I do if a stone or fastening feels loose?
Set the piece aside and arrange for a jeweler to inspect it before you wear it again. Describe what you noticed and when it changed.

Some things are
better seen closely.

Come with a piece in mind, or a question. A viewing is a chance to explore the details a photograph can’t settle.
