MATERIALS AND CARE

  • Solid gold can withstand most all elements, but the alloys its strengthened with still need care.

    1 | Keep your solid gold pieces away from excess moisture, oils and harsh chemicals to prevent build up and discoloration. 

    2 | Do not swim in pools, the ocean or hot tubs with gold jewelry on. This will deteriorate the alloys and softer gemstones overtime and puts you at risk for damaging and losing your jewelry.

    3 | Remove before strenuous activities to avoid marring, scratching or bending. 

    4 | Store clean, dry pieces in your apse jewelry box or pouch to avoid unnecessary scratches or tarnishing.

    Use your white microfiber polishing cloth for a quick shine.

    For a deep clean, soak for 20 min in a solution of mild dish soap and lukewarm water. The soap will lift deposits on its own, but you can use a soft brush to get the hard-to-reach places. Rinse and pat dry.

  • Silver is softer than gold, so it can wear and evolve with time. We think this is a lovely way that our jewelry connects itself to our life experiences. It can withstand most all elements, but the alloys it's strengthened with still need care.

  • Diamond, Sapphire, Ruby & Spinel

    These stones are extremely hard and designed for everyday wear. Ranging between a 10 and 8 on the hardness scale, they are extremely scratch-resistant but not indestructible under impact.

    • Clean with warm water and a gentle soap using a soft brush.
    • Remove before strenuous activities such as lifting weights or shoveling gravel.
    • Consider protective setting styles if you are an active person or want a more effortless wearing experience.

    Emerald, Aquamarine, Quartz & Tourmaline

    These stones are great for everyday wear with a hardness of 7+, but are more delicate and require extra care.

    • Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
    • Store separately to prevent contact with harder stones.
    • Remove before strenuous activities such as lifting weights or shoveling gravel.
    • Consider protective setting styles if you are an active person or want a more effortless wearing experience.
