All of the diamonds, colored gemstones and precious metals used in our jewels can be safely cleaned at home and our intricate designs, such as the serpent and double serpent rings with their sinuous curves and engraving, are best approached with the following method:
Lay out a soft towel next to the sink so your jewel doesn't accidentally drop onto a hard countertop. Plug the drain. In a small bowl of warm water add a drop of Dawn or other mild grease cutting dish detergent and give your piece a 10 minute soak to loosen residual oils and debris.
Run a soft bristle toothbrush gently over the jewel and remember to clean the inside of rings and gently brush the underside of pendants and backs of earrings as well.
Be sure to plug the drain and rinse your jewel thoroughly in warm water.
Pat down the piece with a soft cloth and let sit to dry in a safe secure location.

We absolutely encourage regular inspection of your jewelry for damage or wear.
More durable gemstones, especially diamonds, can cut into precious metals through wear over time and loosen stones in their settings - we recommend immediate attention to your jewelry if your hear a rattle or feel something is off with a gemstone or setting.
If your ring becomes too tight or too loose, it can generally be re-sized to fit as most of our rings have spacing at the back for this very purpose.
This will result in the most beautiful finish - the burnished glowing patina accumulated over time that makes your jewel truly yours.
