Caring for Your Jewelry

Follow these guidelines to keep your pieces beautiful for years to come

Cleaning

We recommend using our eco-friendly jewelry cleaner, or any natural dish soap to clean your jewelry. Use a soft toothbrush and warm water to scrub out any dirt, and soak your pieces in a solution of warm soapy water if there is stubborn residue.

Storage

Store pieces separately in a soft pouch or lined jewelry box to prevent scratching. Sterling silver and lower carat gold will tarnish over time. Storing them out of humidity and sunlight will help curb tarnishing.

Wearing

Put jewelry on last when getting dressed. Remove before exercising, swimming, or sleeping to prevent damage.

What to Avoid

Keep away from harsh chemicals, perfumes, lotions, and chlorine. Remove before applying beauty products or household cleaners.

Professional Care

Have your jewelry professionally cleaned and inspected annually. Check prongs and clasps regularly for wear. LMJ offers free cleaning and polishing for life on all LMJ goods. You can book that appointment through our scheduling portal.

Material Specific

Different metals and stones require specific care. Gold and silver are durable but can scratch. Pearls and turquoise need extra gentle handling. Don't hesitate to reach out for a specialized care guide based on your LMJ piece .
