Product Care


Over time air pollutants, perfumes, cosmetics, soaps, chlorine, vinegar, ammonia, dust, human perspiration and other natural elements can make jewelry and gemstones appear dull. Because of this, please take the time to wipe down your Haute Victoire jewelry with a cotton cloth after wear and store your jewelry in the box you received when purchased.

Below is some guidance for keeping your Haute Victoire jewelry clean, lustrous and beautiful:

GOLD

Dilute dish detergent or soap in a bowl of warm water and soak each piece for 3-5 minutes. Gently clean your item by using a clean cotton cloth. To ensure you remove all the soap, rinse your jewelry under warm running water, and pat dry with a soft cloth. Be sure to dry your jewelry completely before putting it away or wearing it again.

GEMSTONES

Some gemstones are by nature more fragile than others but in general special attention should be paid to gemstone jewelry. You can prevent many problems by not exposing gemstones to common elements such as abrasive cleaners, extreme heat or light and salt water.Be aware that all gemstones, including diamonds, can chip, scratch, or abrade under certain circumstances. Avoid strenuous activity and manual labor that may chip or break them. Also excessive friction can damage gemstones. To clean most gemstones, soak them in a bowl of water with a touch of gentle dish soap. After cleaning, place your jewelry in a strainer and rinse thoroughly before drying with a lint-free cloth. However, due to the fragile nature of rubies and emeralds, we recommend you only clean them with a dry cotton cloth only.
