Irregular natural stones are delicate and unique. Avoid knocking them against hard surfaces, as they can easily scratch or crack. If you wear your jewelry daily, consider removing it before engaging in any activity that could expose it to impacts, such as sports or manual work.

Proper storage is essential to prevent scratches and premature wear. Ideally, store each piece of jewelry in a soft fabric pouch or a velvet-lined box. By keeping your jewelry separate, you can avoid natural stones damaging the surface of other pieces and so one.

Water, although it may seem harmless, can dull gold plating and weaken natural stones over time. Remove your jewelry before washing your hands, swimming, or showering. Similarly, avoid any contact with chemicals such as perfumes, creams, cleaning products, or hair sprays. These substances can diminish the shine of gold plating and natural stones.

When cleaning your jewelry, prioritize gentleness. Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth, ideally microfiber, to wipe the jewelry and remove traces of dust or oil. If needed, dampen the cloth with a bit of warm soapy water, but avoid immersing the jewelry itself in water. Then, use a dry cloth to remove any residual moisture.

24-karat gold plating can tarnish over time, but it is possible to restore the shine of gold-plated chains or components. A simple jewelry polishing cloth can be used, but avoid pressing too hard to prevent wearing away the gold layer. If you notice the color fading, it may be a good idea to have the piece replated to refresh its appearance.

Natural stones, like most organic materials, can react to extreme temperature fluctuations. Avoid leaving your jewelry in places exposed to direct sunlight, in a very hot bathroom, or near a heat source. Stones may crack, lose their shine, or become more fragile.
