Jewelry Care

Congratulations on your new jewelry! Here are some tips and tricks to help you care for it, ensure it stays beautiful, and make the most of your stunning pieces.

Pearl

Formed within oysters or mollusks, pearls are a porous gemstone cherished for their smooth, lustrous surfaces and subtle, captivating glow.

  • Clean: Gently wipe pearls with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove oils and dirt.
  • Avoid Chemicals: Do not use harsh chemicals or submerge pearls in water. Everyday substances like hairspray, lotion, perfume, and cosmetics can be absorbed in the porous surface.
  • Storage: Store pearls in a dry place, using a soft cloth or pouch to prevent moisture damage.
  • Ultrasonic Cleaners: Avoid using ultrasonic cleaners as they can damage pearls.

Gold

Gold is a precious metal prized for its luster and lasting value. Its rarity and shine make it ideal for timeless jewelry. Friday Sky uses 14k solid gold, which contains 58.33% pure gold, with the remainder being durable metals like silver and copper. Unlike gold-filled or gold vermeil, solid gold jewelry offers a lower cost per wear and is designed to last.

  • Clean: Use a solution of warm water and mild dish soap. Soak gold jewelry, then gently brush with a soft toothbrush.
  • Rinse and Dry: Rinse in a bowl of water and dry with a soft polishing cloth to avoid losing pieces down the drain.
  • Avoid Chemicals: Remove jewelry before swimming, as chlorine can damage gold alloys.
  • Storage: Store gold jewelry in a soft pouch or lined box to prevent scratches.

Diamond

Renowned for their brilliance and exceptional hardness, diamonds are rated 10 on the Mohs hardness scale. Formed deep within the Earth under extreme pressure and temperature, they are prized for their beauty and durability in fine jewelry. All our diamonds are Kimberly compliant, ensuring ethical and conflict-free sourcing.

  • Clean: Mix warm water with mild dish soap and soak your diamonds for a few minutes. Use a soft toothbrush to gently brush the jewelry.
  • Rinse and Dry: Rinse diamonds in a bowl of water (to avoid losing them down the drain) and dry with a soft polishing cloth.
  • Storage: Keep diamonds in a fabric-lined box or pouch to prevent scratches.
  • Ultrasonic Cleaners: Investing in a small at-home ultrasonic cleaner can be effective, but be cautious as it may occasionally shake stones out of place.
