Jewelry Care
Our jewelry is made to last — but a little extra care goes a long way toward keeping your pieces as beautiful as the day you received them. Here’s how to keep them glowing:
18K Gold
18k gold is naturally tarnish-resistant, but over time it can lose a bit of its shine. To keep it looking its best, gently wipe your jewelry with a soft, clean cloth after wearing.
For a deeper clean, soak your jewelry in warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap. Use a soft-bristle toothbrush to gently remove any dirt, then pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
Diamonds & Translucent Gemstones
(like topaz, sapphire, citrine)
To refresh your stones, soak them in a bowl of warm water mixed with a small amount of diluted dish soap. Use a soft-bristle toothbrush to carefully clean around and behind the stones. Rinse your piece in a fine mesh strainer and dry thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth. For diamonds, rubies, or sapphires set in gold, you can add a drop of ammonia to the rinse water for an extra sparkle boost. (But please avoid using ammonia on any other gemstones — it can damage them.)
Opaque Gemstones
(like opals, malachite, and lapis lazuli)
Opaque stones are more delicate. Never use ultrasonic cleaners, bleach, or ammonia-based products. Simply wipe them clean with a damp cloth — no soaking, no harsh chemicals. Avoid letting them come into contact with hairspray, lotions, or perfumes. Over time, these products can be absorbed into the stone and cause discoloration. And as always, please remove your jewelry before working out to prevent accidental damage.
Turquoise
Turquoise is a softer, more porous stone and needs a little extra TLC. Keep it away from perfumes, cosmetics, household cleaners, and chlorinated water, as chemicals can affect the color and surface. Avoid impact with hard surfaces, and when in doubt, wear it with care.
A Few Final Tips
Skip abrasive cleaners, steamers, and ultrasonic machines unless a professional recommends them. Some at-home methods can do more harm than good.
When you care for your jewelry with intention, it becomes a part of your story for years to come.
Creating custom jewelry is one of the most personal and rewarding parts of my work. I love collaborating with clients to create pieces that feel deeply meaningful, whether it begins with a story, a stone, an heirloom, or simply an idea that has been living in your mind.
Jennifer DeMoro Jewelry Custom is a personalized design experience where we work together to create something entirely unique to you. Every project is different, and the process is intentionally flexible. Some pieces come together quickly, while others evolve over time. The experience is shaped around the project itself and what feels most natural for you.
Custom work may include:
• Engagement rings, wedding bands, and bridal jewelry
• Wedding redesigns, anniversary remakes, and meaningful milestone pieces
• Reimagining inherited or sentimental jewelry into something new
• Custom gemstone variations of existing Jennifer DeMoro Jewelry designs
