CARING FOR YOUR JEWELRY

With a little care, your jewelry will look spectacular for a lifetime. Bring it to us any time to have it cleaned FREE. Between visits, you can clean your diamond, ruby or sapphire using a commercial jewelry cleaning solution or lukewarm soapy water and a small bristle brush. Just be sure to rinse your jewelry thoroughly to maintain its brilliance.

Emeralds should ONLY be cleaned using a soft, dry cloth.

Remove your jewelry before showering, swimming, cleaning, sleeping, doing rough work or handling chemicals -- including hair care products and perfume.

Do not expose gemstones to sudden temperature changes, which may cause cracks.

Store each piece of jewelry separately to prevent them from scratching each other.

Congratulations on your new jewelry purchase. And thank you for choosing us to serve your jewelry needs.
