How do I care for my jewelry?
Caring for your jewelry will keep it looking great and will ensure that it will last for generations to come. Everyday wear and tear can dull the surface of most precious metals. Routine hand washing with soap and water can coat a gemstone making it appear cloudy or milky. That is why CIRCA offers a free annual professional cleaning service. Schedule a visit at any of our 14 locations or call us at (646) 971-0018 to request a free and fully insured shipping kit.
For basic cleaning at home, we recommend gently cleaning your jewelry with a soft polishing cloth, or with gentle soap and water.
You should avoid using any chemicals or harsh cleaning products, as this could permanently damage the precious metal and gemstones.
