Frequently asked questions
How often should I check my ring's claws?
Bring your ring to us every six months for a professional cleaning and claw inspection. Regular check-ups help keep your stones secure and your ring in top condition.
How do lab-grown diamonds differ from natural diamonds?
Lab-grown diamonds and natural diamonds look the same and share identical chemical and physical properties, including brilliance and durability. The main difference is their origin: natural diamonds form over millions of years deep within the Earth, while lab-grown diamonds are created in weeks using advanced technology. Lab-grown options are more sustainable and budget-friendly without sacrificing quality or beauty.
How should I care for my pearls?
Wear your pearls often to keep them hydrated with your skin's natural oils. Always put them on after applying makeup or perfume to avoid exposure to chemicals. After wearing, gently wipe them with a soft, damp cloth. For a deeper clean, use mild soapy water and a soft cloth. Store them in a soft pouch or lined box, separate from other jewellery. If you wear them frequently, consider restringing them every 1–2 years.

What is rhodium plating?
Rhodium plating is a process where a thin layer of rhodium, a rare and durable precious metal, is applied to jewellery, typically over white gold, silver, or platinum. This plating enhances the jewellery’s appearance by giving it a brilliant, reflective white finish and adds a protective layer that resists scratches, tarnish, and corrosion.
Over time, rhodium plating can wear off, especially on rings and other frequently worn pieces. It’s recommended to have your jewellery re-plated every 12–18 months to maintain its shine and protection.
How should I store my chains to prevent tangling and tarnishing?
Store your chains in a hanging position to prevent tangling and tarnishing. If stored in a box, they can become tangled and tarnished over time.
How can I keep my jewellery clean?
Clean your jewellery weekly using warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid household cleaners, perfumes, lotions, and hairsprays. Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or lined box, and remove your jewellery before swimming, exercising, or doing chores.
