Tips for Long Life:

  • Keep your Laboratory Reports in a safe location, separate from jewelry pieces, for security.
  • Have your jewelry cleaned and checked by a professional for worn mountings, loose prongs and general condition at least once per year.
  • Have white gold re-plated, platinum re-polished and prongs re-tipped as necessary to maintain original condition (generally every 24 months or so).
  • Have frequently-worn pearls restrung as necessary, with a knot between each pearl to prevent loss if the string breaks.
  • Some colored gemstones should not be exposed to sudden temperature changes; know your pieces and their needs.
  • Select daily-wear jewelry that is in harmony with your lifestyle and schedule of activities.
  • Treat each piece as if it were a family heirloom, for someday it may be.
