URSULA

General  Care

Over time fine jewelry can become a treasured family heirloom, if it is cared for properly. Dust, pollution and daily wear all conspire to cloud the brilliance of gemstones. The surface of gold, platinum and silver jewelry can become dulled. Timeworn prongs and clasps can result in the loss of a stone or an entire piece of jewelry.

 

Professional cleanings are recommended as often as once every couple of years. We encourage you to have your URSULA JEWELS jewelry professionally serviced regularly. Professional jewelers are knowledgeable and experienced in all aspects of jewelry care, including cleaning gemstones, restringing pearls and repairing clasps and earring backs.

 

Between professional servicing, most gold and platinum jewelry can be maintained with a non-abrasive cleaner. You can use a soft baby toothbrush and warm soapy water to gently brush your jewelry clean. Pat dry with a soft towel. Examine your jewelry regularly to make sure settings are snug and clasps and joinings are secure.

 

Avoid exposing jewelry to perfumes, anti-bacterial gels and household bleach, which will quickly cause gold to discolor and possibly disintegrate.

 

Jewelry storage is important as well. At the time of purchase, all URSULA JEWELS jewelry is placed in a tarnish-resistant pouch and a protective box, case. Between wearings, we recommend that you place it back in its original case or another suitably lined box or pouch.
