A small ritual of protection

Wear it often.
Care for it well.

Precious jewellery is made for a life, but not every part of daily life. Thoughtful habits help protect the stone, setting and finish.

Lightning Ridge opal and diamond ring

The everyday essentials

Four habits that
matter most.

01

Remove before impact

Take jewellery off for the gym, gardening, cleaning, dishes and other physical work. Store it separately in a safe, dry place.

02

Avoid chemical contact

Keep pieces away from household cleaners, perfumes and cosmetics. Put jewellery on after personal-care products have settled.

03

Check the setting

Look regularly for movement, snagging or a change in a claw or clasp. Stop wearing the piece and contact the studio if anything feels different.

04

Plan an annual clean

The current studio guidance recommends professional cleaning once a year. Ask before using any home machine or cleaning solution.

Care by gemstone

One routine does
not fit every stone.

Settings, treatments and supporting stones matter as much as the centre stone. These are cautious starting points—confirm the right method for your individual piece.

Sapphire

Regular wear, mindful handling

Protect the setting from knocks, remove the ring for hands-on work, and use a soft dry cloth for light surface care until a piece-specific method is confirmed.

Lightning Ridge opal

Extra care around heat and impact

Opal deserves especially gentle handling. Avoid extremes, chemicals and mechanical cleaners; ask the studio before using water, solutions or a cleaning device.

Diamond

Protect the setting, not only the stone

Even a durable stone depends on fine claws and surrounding details. Remove before impact, inspect regularly and arrange professional cleaning.

Care questions

When in doubt,
pause and ask.

Can I wear my ring for chores or the gym?

The studio recommends removing jewellery for washing dishes, gardening, gym sessions and other physical activity that could affect the stone, setting or metal.

Can I use an ultrasonic cleaner?

Do not assume ultrasonic cleaning is safe. The current care policy says it is unsuitable for many gemstones and does not recommend this method.

How often should jewellery be professionally cleaned?

The current care policy recommends professional cleaning annually, supported by regular checks that the setting remains secure.
