Jewelry Care

Jewelry can be an intimate and cherished accessory. Understanding how to care for and protect your treasured jewelry can make a world of difference in maintaining its beauty and keeping your heirlooms sparkling for generations to come.

Excessive heat and sudden temperature change can cause fractures in some gems.
Fine jewelry should be removed when swimming in chlorinated pools or using household cleaning solutions.
Not all gems and jewelry can be safely cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner.
Most gems can be cleaned with warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush especially porous stones like opals and turquoise.
Untreated sterling silver will tarnish over time and can easily be cleaned with a polish cloth or tarnish remover.

Ring Sizing

Don't know your ring size? You can easily find out with a ruler and thin strip of paper.

Cut a thin strip of paper.
Wrap the paper around your finger. Make sure the paper is below the joint of your finger and close to your knuckle.
Mark the spot where the paper meets and measures the distance with your ruler.
The chart below will tell you your ring size. Some rings also come in half sizes (will fall somewhere in between the whole sizes).
