Jewelry Care
Ashbeth House jewelry is handcrafted with precious metals and carefully selected stones, created to be worn, loved, and passed down.
Fine jewelry is durable, but proper care will help preserve its beauty over time.
Daily Wear Recommendations
To extend the life of your jewelry, we recommend removing pieces before:
- Swimming
- Showering
- Exercising
- Sleeping
- Cleaning
- Applying lotions, perfumes, or hairspray
Chemicals, moisture, and impact can affect both metals and gemstones over time.
Gold Jewelry Care
Solid gold jewelry is designed for long-term wear, but it can still scratch or dent with everyday use.
To keep your pieces looking their best:
- Store separately to avoid scratching
- Clean gently with warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth
- Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishing compounds
Sterling Silver Care
Sterling silver naturally tarnishes over time, especially when exposed to moisture, air, lotions, or perfumes.
To minimize tarnishing:
- Store jewelry in a dry place
- Keep pieces in an airtight bag or jewelry box when not in use
- Polish gently with a silver polishing cloth as needed
Regular wear can actually help slow tarnish buildup.
Gemstone Care
Many gemstones are naturally delicate and should be handled with care.
Please avoid:
- Dropping jewelry onto hard surfaces
- Sudden temperature changes
- Harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners unless specifically recommended for the stone
Natural inclusions and variations are part of the beauty of genuine gemstones.
Chains & Delicate Pieces
Fine chains and delicate settings should be treated gently.
To help prevent tangling or breakage:
- Fasten clasps before storing
- Lay necklaces flat when possible
- Avoid pulling or sleeping in chain jewelry
Storage
We recommend storing your jewelry:
- In a soft pouch or jewelry box
- Away from direct sunlight and humidity
- Separately from other jewelry to prevent scratching
