Take Care
Take Care
Everyday care (all jewellery)
- Remove prior to sport, manual tasks, showing/swimming, and sleep.
- Avoid Impacts and sudden temperature changes.
- Store pieces separately in soft pouches/compartments.
- Clean most jewellery with warn water & mild detergent-free soap & a soft brush, then rinse and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
Metal care — Solid gold (9K/14K/18K)
- Wipe with a soft cloth after wear; avoid harsh chemicals and abrasives.
- For mixed stone settings, default to the gentlest method suitable for the most delicate stone present.
Professional checkups
- Have prongs/claws and settings inspected every 6–12 months, or sooner if you notice movement/snags or after a hard knock.
Resizing
- We do not recommend resizing rings from our Lightning Ridge Opal Collection. Opals are highly sensitive to heat, pressure and vibration; resizing can crack or craze the stone or compromise adhesives in layered constructions.
Opal (cleaning)
- Hand clean only: no ultrasonic or steam. Use a slightly damp soft cloth or a quick lukewarm, mildly soapy rinse; do not soak for long.
Delicate stones (handle with extra care)
- Opal, peridot (and some garnets): avoid ultrasonic/steam and hard knocks; stick to gentle hand cleaning.
