This starts with how you store your jewelry. Jewelry is best stored separately to protect it from dirt and scratches. Diamonds are the hardest natural material on earth and can damage other jewelry and/or diamonds. The best way is to store each piece in its own box. If you prefer to keep all your jewelry together in one box, it is best to wrap each piece separately in a small pouch or zip bag.
Jewelry can quickly become dull once it gets dirty. This is caused by oils from the skin, lotions, make-up, soap residue, and more. With the tips below, you can keep your jewelry looking its best.
Professional
Having your jewelry professionally maintained is always the safest option. The most effective cleaning method is an ultrasonic bath. These devices remove impurities from even the smallest corners and crevices. Jewelry is usually professionally cleaned every few years, often before an important occasion.
For diamond or gemstone jewelry, it is also important to have the settings checked annually. This helps ensure your jewelry lasts for generations and prevents stones from coming loose.
Cleaning at home
Gold, platinum, diamonds, and gemstones can easily be cleaned at home. These materials are durable and do not discolor. A strong dishwashing liquid, such as Dreft, works very well. Place your jewelry in cold water with dish soap and gently warm the water. Let it soak for about 3 hours. Afterwards, you can clean the jewelry with a soft brush. Toothbrushes can be too hard and abrasive; a soft makeup brush is a better option. Rinse thoroughly under running water.
Important: Always check that all gemstones are still securely set after cleaning. Never expose a gemstone to sudden temperature changes (from cold to hot or vice versa), as this may cause it to crack.
Silver can also be cleaned easily at home. Due to oxidation, it can quickly appear dark and dull. A silver polish and polishing cloth will restore its shine in no time.

In our webshop jewelry, we exclusively work with precious materials such as platinum, gold, silver, and gemstones.
In the ‘personal design experience’, this depends entirely on the client’s request. This can also include materials such as leather, ashes, sand, bronze, and more. At that moment, we explore everything that creates the right impact.
White Gold
Symbol Au, atomic number 79, density: 19,320 kg/m³, melting point: 1064°C, boiling point: 2970°C. White gold is naturally a bright yellow precious metal and is made white by adding alloy metals such as palladium, silver, copper, or nickel. White gold is highly valued, corrosion-resistant, and very malleable. Gold has captured the human imagination since its discovery.
Unfinished white gold has a slight yellowish tint. That is why white gold jewelry is coated with a layer of rhodium, a very hard metal with a bright white shine. This rhodium layer gives it a white color similar to platinum. Without this layer, it is referred to as natural white gold or champagne white gold.

Platinum
Symbol Pt, atomic number 78, density: 21,500 kg/m³, melting point: 1768°C, boiling point: 3825°C. Platinum is naturally a white precious metal. Unlike white gold, no alloys are added to achieve its white color, and platinum has a very high purity of 950/1000. Alloys below this standard may not be called platinum in Belgium.
Platinum is the most durable, pure, and rare precious metal in the world. It is extremely scarce, hypoallergenic, and mined in only a few locations worldwide. It is highly resistant to corrosion, does not degrade or oxidize, and is significantly less prone to damage than gold. To extract one ounce (31.1 grams) of platinum, around ten tons of ore must be mined—a process that takes approximately eight weeks. It is also the most expensive precious metal to work with.

In most cases, this is possible. Please feel free to contact us for more information.

All of our personalized jewelry is made to measure and crafted in our atelier once the order has been placed. We do not keep pieces in stock for fitting.
