Preserving Your Luminesse Jewelry

Fine jewelry is meant to be worn and enjoyed. With thoughtful daily habits and simple home care, your Luminesse piece will remain as radiant as the day you received it.

Daily Wear Guidelines

Put jewelry on last: After lotions, perfumes, makeup, and hair products, which can leave residues that dull your stones and metal.

Remove before physical activity: Take off your rings and bracelets before exercising, gardening, swimming (chlorine can damage gold alloys), or any heavy manual work.

Avoid harsh chemicals: Household cleaners, bleach, and even some beauty products can erode metal finishes or discolor certain gemstones.

Store separately: When not worn, place each piece in its individual pouch or compartment to prevent diamonds and gemstones from scratching softer metals or other stones.

How to Clean Your Jewelry at Home

Prepare a gentle solution: Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm (not hot) water in a small bowl.

Soak briefly: Place your jewelry in the solution for 10–20 minutes to loosen oils and debris.

Brush softly: Use a very soft, clean toothbrush to gently clean around prongs, under the stone, and along intricate details.

Rinse and dry: Rinse thoroughly under lukewarm running water (close the drain first), then pat dry with a lint-free cloth. Allow to air dry completely before storing.

Note: This method is safe for diamonds, sapphires, and rubies. For emeralds, avoid soaking and use only a dry, soft cloth to gently wipe the surface, as emeralds can be more brittle.

Professional Care

We recommend an annual professional inspection. Our atelier offers cleaning, prong tightening, and rhodium re-plating for white gold pieces. Reach out to schedule a complimentary check-up within your first year.
