Jewellery Care

How can I avoid damaging my Jewellery?

The permanent contact between your jewelry and your skin, and its exposure to different weather conditions, pollution or accidental knocks all mean that it requires care and attention. Here are our recommendations:

If possible, remove your jewellery before starting any activity that might damage it, such as playing sports, cooking or gardening.

Avoid any contact with cosmetic or household products, since they contain ingredients that could discolor your jewelry.

Avoid rapid changes of temperature.

Store your jewellery in an individual case, in its original case, or in the separate compartment of a jewelry box. Chains should be closed, wrapped up and laid flat so as to avoid the formation of knots.

Ring Measurements

Ideally fingers should be sized properly by a profesional jeweller using a ring sizer. If this is not possible then the following may be used to estimate your size.

Follow these directions to measure your finger. They will give an approximate guide to establish your ring size. For a completely accurate measurement go to a jeweller and have your finger sized precisely.

Find a piece of string or strip of paper no wider than 1.4 cm (1/2 inch).
Wrap it around the base of the appropriate finger.
Use a pen to mark the point on the string/paper where it overlaps, forming a complete circle.
With a ruler, measure the length from the starting end of the string/paper to the pen mark.
Use the chart below to determine your UK ring size.

For the most accurate reading using this estimated method, measure the finger at the end of the day when the finger is likely to be at it's largest. But please bear in mind we can not be held responsible for any readings taken this way.

Here are some tips to make your ring size measurement more accurate:

After sliding the ring sizer on, make sure it slides off fairly easily over the knuckle.
Don't measure cold fingers. This is when fingers are their smallest
For the most accurate reading, measure the finger at the end of the day when the finger is the largest
