Jewelry Care

Antique and vintage jewelry is made to last — when cared for properly.

Because each piece carries history, craftsmanship, and precious materials, proper care is essential to preserve its beauty and integrity over time.

Below, you will find our recommendations to help your jewelry remain beautiful for years — and generations — to come.

General Care Guidelines

Vintage jewelry should be treated with care and attention.

We recommend:

  • Removing your jewelry before sleeping, exercising, or doing household activities
  • Avoiding contact with chemicals, perfumes, lotions, and cleaning products

  • Handling stones and settings gently, especially on older pieces

These simple habits significantly extend the life of antique jewelry.

Caring for Gold & Platinum

Gold and platinum are precious and durable metals, but they still require proper care.

  • Clean gently using a toothbrush, lukewarm water and soap

  • Avoid abrasive materials or aggressive cleaners

  • Store each piece separately to prevent scratches

  • For deeper cleaning, professional cleaning is recommended

Platinum naturally develops a soft patina over time — a characteristic many collectors appreciate.

Caring for Stones

Antique jewelry often features natural stones that may have been cut and set using historical techniques.

  • Avoid sudden temperature changes
  • Do not expose stones to ultrasonic cleaners unless advised by a professional
  • Be particularly careful with older cuts and delicate settings
  • Regularly check that stones are secure

If you notice movement or damage, we recommend consulting a professional before wearing the piece again.

Storage & Protection

Proper storage is essential.

We recommend:

  • Keeping jewelry in a dry, soft-lined case

  • Storing pieces separately to avoid friction

  • Using the provided travel pouch when transporting rings or delicate items

  • Avoiding humid environments

Correct storage prevents unnecessary wear and preserves original finishes.

A Jewelry Meant to Last

Antique and vintage jewelry is not meant to be stored away — it is meant to be lived in, loved, and passed on.

With proper care, your piece will continue to tell its story and become part of yours.
