Care Instructions

Gems and Jewellery Care

Ensure to tighten the clamps after one year or two years if they are worn frequently.
Store the gems in a fabric-lined jewellery box or box with compartments. If you prefer to use a regular box, wrap each piece individually in velvet, silk or paper because the diamond will line/damage other pieces of jewellery and diamonds.
Visit the jeweller at least annually and ask him to check the parts for loose pins and wear/tear fasteners.
When taking off the jewellery, wipe it with a soft moist cloth. This will improve the luster and ensure that the jewels are clean before they are stored.                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Before wearing a piece of jewellery apply perfume or hairspray.
