JEWELLERY CARE & CLEANING

We want to make sure you know how to take care of your beautiful jewellery. Understanding how to keep your engagement ring clean is a must! You've got this incredible diamond, and if it's not taken care of it simply will look dull.

Taking care of gemstone jewellery is very different. We do not recommend you use any ultrasonic cleaning machines on your gemstones. These are much softer than diamonds and require a little more care.
