JEWELRY CARE GUIDE
< Jewelry maintenance method >
We will introduce you to care methods and the characteristics of gemstones so that you can enjoy your precious jewelry for a long time.
-
Jewelry is the last thing to put on and the first thing to take off.
Wear your jewelry at the end of your preparations. When you are getting ready to go out, there are many enemies of jewelry, such as hairspray and makeup. When putting on or taking off your clothes, the chain may get caught and break, or it may get caught on something. It may damage your clothes. In addition to avoiding force or impact, Jewelry is delicate, so please handle it with care.

Daily care instructions
For gold or platinum jewelry, gently wipe it with a soft cloth. Use a soft cloth, such as a chamois or a commercially available precious metal cloth, to remove dirt and fingerprints, and store it in a jewelry box or jewelry pouch to help maintain its beauty.
-
Use water and mild detergent
Do not wash your jewelry with strong detergents or boiling water. These can damage the material and gemstones of your jewelry, so dip your jewelry in a cup with a small amount of diluted neutral detergent and gently wash it with a soft toothbrush or small brush to remove dirt. Then rinse with fresh water and wipe dry with kitchen paper. For jewelry with pearls, we recommend that you do not soak it in water for long periods of time and only lightly brush it.

Notes for each gemstone
Some types of diamonds require special care. For example, diamonds should be avoided from contact with petroleum-based products as these can cause them to become cloudy . See the table below for more details.
-
Storage Instructions
Store them individually in bags and avoid direct contact with other jewelry or hard objects. Taking extra care of your jewelry will help keep them in good condition and prevent scratches and dust.
