DID YOU KNOW?

The Enemies of Sparkle

Common household items and activities that threaten your jewelry's brilliance. Knowledge is protection.

Chlorine can weaken gold structure. Pool and hot tub chemicals break down gold alloys over time, causing brittleness and discoloration.
Solution: Always remove jewelry before swimming. Store it in your locker or at home—never risk it near water.
Cooking oils and grime accumulate quickly. Oils from cooking and food preparation form a film on gemstones, dulling their shine instantly.
Solution: Remove rings when cooking or doing dishes. Clean regularly with mild soap.
Product buildup creates a cloudy layer. Lotions, perfumes, and hairsprays coat diamonds and metals, reducing their ability to reflect light.
Solution: Apply all cosmetics and perfumes before putting on your jewelry.
Hard impacts can chip stones. Lifting weights or contact sports put pressure on ring shanks and can loosen or chip settings.
Solution: Leave your rings at home or use a specific silicone band for workouts.
