Jewellery Care

Creating fine jewellery to Cupus standard means using precious metals, the finest diamonds, and one of a kind gemstones.

Remove your fine jewellery pieces before showering, applying lotions, fragrances, self tanner, hair dye, or any other cosmetic products that may contain oils and/or chemicals.

Remove your fine jewellery before working with chemicals or harsh solutions such as cleaning and laundry products.

Remove your fine jewellery before engaging in strenuous activities including but not limited to exercising, lifting heavy objects or bags, supporting your body during yoga, or any other activity that includes heavy handwork.

Remove your fine jewellery before swimming, whether it be in a saltwater ocean, freshwater lake, or chlorinated pool.

Remove your fine jewellery before bed, to avoid pieces tangling together or slipping off while you sleep.  When storing your fine jewellery, separate the pieces so they do not rub against one another to prevent scratching on the metal or soft gemstones such as pearls.  Necklaces should be clasped when stored to help prevent chain tangling.

 

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR FINE JEWELLERY AT HOME

Soak your jewellery in a mixture of plain dish soap (avoid anything with moisturising elements) and warm water, or in an at-home jewellery cleaner after checking the label to make sure it is appropriate for use on your pieces.  Upon removing, gently scrub the stones and under the settings with a soft bristled toothbrush. Rinse in clean water and dry.  Soft gemstones such as pearls, opals, and emeralds should be given extra care, as they can be marred easily. Please read all instructions on your at-home jewellery cleaner to assess, and do not clean these types of stones with warm water and dish soap.  If there are any doubts, keep in mind that we will always gladly professionally clean any pieces previously purchased from Cupus only.
