✓ Remove Before Activities

Take off your jewellery before exercising, swimming, cleaning, gardening, or any activities involving chemicals or impact.

✓ Put On Last, Take Off First

Apply cosmetics, perfume, hairspray, and lotions before putting on your jewellery. Remove jewellery first when undressing.

✓ Store Properly

Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or lined jewellery box to prevent scratching. Keep away from direct sunlight and heat.

✓ Regular Inspections

Check settings and clasps regularly to ensure stones are secure. Have your jewellery professionally inspected annually.

💚 Caring for Emeralds

Hardness: 7.5-8 on Mohs scale | Special Considerations: Moderate durability

Cleaning Your Emeralds:

• Gentle cleaning only: Use lukewarm water with a few drops of mild washing-up liquid
• Soft brush: Use a very soft toothbrush or cloth to gently clean the stone
• Rinse carefully: Rinse with clean lukewarm water
• Pat dry: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to dry thoroughly
• Avoid: Ultrasonic cleaners, steam cleaners, harsh chemicals, and hot water

Special Care Notes:

• Emeralds are more delicate than rubies and sapphires—handle with extra care
• Avoid sudden temperature changes which can cause thermal shock
• Remove emerald jewellery before applying hand cream or lotions
• Our lab-grown emeralds have fewer inclusions, making them more durable than most natural emeralds

❤️ Caring for Rubies

Hardness: 9 on Mohs scale | Special Considerations: Excellent durability

Cleaning Your Rubies:

• Warm soapy water: Mix warm water with mild washing-up liquid
• Soft brush: Use a soft toothbrush to gently scrub the stone and setting
• Rinse thoroughly: Rinse under warm running water
• Dry completely: Pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth
• Optional: Professional ultrasonic cleaning is safe for untreated lab-grown rubies

Special Care Notes:

• Rubies are extremely durable—second only to diamonds in hardness
• Perfect for everyday wear, including engagement rings
• Can withstand ultrasonic and steam cleaning (our lab-grown rubies are untreated)
• Still remove before heavy physical activities to protect the setting

• Perfect for engagement rings and heirloom pieces
