14K & 18K Gold Jewelry
Gold jewelry, whether crafted in 14K or 18K gold, is designed to last a lifetime with proper care.
To clean your gold pieces, use warm water, mild soap, and a soff-bristle brush or lint-free cloth.
Rinse thoroughly and gently dry with a soft cloth.
Avoid exposing your jewelry to harsh chemicals, chlorine, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the metal.
To prevent scratches or tangling, store your gold jewelry in a soft pouch or a lined jewelry box.
Thoughtful care will help your jewelry maintain its timeless beauty for years to come.
Do not use ammonia on other gemstones since it can discolor and damage these materials.
Black Rhodium Jewelry
Black rhodium finishes, like any additional coating, will gradually wear and fade over time, particularly in areas that are in constant contact with your skin. To extend the life of the finish, remove your jewelry before sleeping. Additionally, salt, chlorine, and other harsh substances can damage the black rhodium coating. Be sure to take off your jewelry before bathing, swimming, or washing your hands to help preserve the finish.
Jewelry with Gemstones
Gold jewelry featuring diamonds, sapphires, rubies, and emeralds requires special care to protect both the stones and their settings. Clean your jewelry using a damp cloth or soft-bristle brush with a mild soap solution. Be gentle to avoid scratching or loosening the gemstones. Avoid using ultrasonic cleaners unless specifically recommended for the type of gemstone. Keep your jewelry away from harsh chemicals, perfumes, or lotions, as these can damage or dull the stones. To prevent scratching, store your gemstone jewelry in a separate compartment or place it in your Lionheart pouch, ensuring it's cushioned and protected.
Opaque Gemstones
Jewelry featuring opaque gemstones such as turquoise, pearls, malachite, lapis lazuli, and mother of pearl requires extra attention due to their delicate nature.
Clean these pieces gently with a soft, damp cloth, ensuring minimal moisture exposure.
Avoid soaking the jewelry, as excessive water can compromise adhesives and damage the stones' surface.
Never wash pearls with an ultrasonic cleaner, as it can damage their delicate structure.
Refrain from exposing the gemstones to perfumes, lotions, or harsh chemicals, as they can cause discoloration or deterioration.
Store these pieces in a soft, lined pouch or box, ensuring the stones are cushioned and kept away from other jewelry to prevent scratches or chips.
