Jewellery Care Guide

Preserving the Light of Every Piece

Each creation from Maison de Lumière whether crafted in 18k gold, platinum, VS+ diamonds or precision-cut moissanite is designed to last a lifetime and beyond. With gentle care and mindful wear, your piece will continue to shine with the brilliance it was born with.

Below is our official guide to caring for your jewellery so it remains as radiant as the day it found you.

Daily Care

Avoid Contact with Chemicals

Perfume, lotions, hair products, cleaning sprays, chlorine and hand sanitiser can dull metals and stones over time.

We recommend applying beauty products first and allowing them to settle before wearing your jewellery.

Remove During Physical Activity

To protect stones and metal surfaces from unnecessary impact or abrasion, remove your jewellery when:

– Exercising
– Swimming
– Sleeping
– Lifting or manual work

Even the hardest gemstones deserve gentleness.

Last On, First Off

Put your jewellery on after dressing and remove it before undressing to avoid catching delicate settings.

Cleaning at Home

Gold & Platinum Jewellery

Clean gently using:

– Warm water
– A drop of mild soap
– A soft-bristle brush

Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with your Maison de Lumière polishing cloth.

Diamond & Moissanite Care

These stones are exceptionally durable, but natural oils can cloud their brilliance.

A gentle soak followed by a light brush restores clarity effortlessly.

Avoid Harsh Cleaners

Ultrasonic cleaners and abrasive polishes should only be used for certain jewellery designs. If unsure, contact us for guidance.

Storing Your Jewellery

Each Maison de Lumière creation comes with a signature box or protective travel pouch. To preserve its beauty:

– Store pieces separately to prevent scratches
– Keep chains clasped to avoid tangling
– Avoid humid environments (bathrooms, windowsills)

For long-term preservation, store in a lined jewellery box away from direct sunlight.

Professional Servicing

We recommend a professional inspection every 12 months, especially for rings and claw-set stones.

Our team can assist with:
– Deep cleaning
– Re-polishing
– Prong tightening
– Rhodium re-plating for white gold
– Resizing (case-by-case)

Your jewellery is an heirloom in progress servicing ensures it remains secure, bright and enduring.

Caring for Vermeil Pieces (Étoile Collection)

Your vermeil jewellery is crafted with a thick layer of 14k gold applied over sterling silver. To prolong its life:

– Avoid moisture and perfume directly on the metal
– Remove before bathing or exercising
– Clean only with a soft, dry cloth
– Store in an airtight pouch when not wearing

With gentle care, your Étoile pieces will retain their luminous glow for years.

A Lifetime of Light

Every Maison de Lumière piece is created as an expression of light a moment captured in precious metal and stone. When cared for mindfully, it becomes an enduring story of beauty, memory and craftsmanship.
