Jewelry Care Instructions

Caring for Your Keepsake

Especially crucial for inclusion jewelry (ash, breastmilk, etc) & Pave jewelry (below), proper care ensures your keepsake remains beautiful. Follow these guidelines:

• Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place, preferably in a bag or pouch when not worn.
• Cleaning: Use a soft, preferably jewelry-specific, cloth for polishing.
• Daily Use: Remove before sleep, and avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, and chemicals. Refrain from wearing during activities like cooking, exercising, or cleaning.
• Water & Heat: Avoid submersion in water, including pools, baths and hand washing. Keep away from direct sunlight and heat sources like window sills, blow-dryers or car interiors.
• Pave Commercial Settings (small gemstones, often in a halo around the primary stone): We suggest extra care for Pave jewelry and that it not be used for everyday wear, and especially not for sleeping, showering, washing hands, dishes, etc.  A jewelry holder by the bathroom sink, kitchen sink, and by the bed, is a great way to help protect your jewelry. These small stones can become loose or fall out when bumped or subjected to stress. This is a well-known fact within the jewelry industry, and it is why jewelers strongly suggest that their customers inspect their Pave jewelry every 6 months. Both the commercial jewelry manufacturer and I inspect these settings before shipping. We don't offer further inspection services or refunds/exchanges for the small stones in Pave settings. If you choose to purchase a Pave setting, please have your Pave jewelry inspected every 6 months at your local jeweler.
