RING CARE

It is important to first ensure your ring is a perfect fit. If the ring is too loose, it is likely to move and possibly be knocked as a result.

Over the lifetime of a ring, it is inevitable that it will scratch however we recommend being mindful of all contact to your jewellery as delicate pieces can be caught on clothing or scratched and bent when lifting heavy objects.

Pavé settings are more likely to catch on certain materials so extra precaution should be taken to ensure the setting retains its integrity.


DIAMONDS

Whilst diamonds are the hardest natural material on Earth and can resist scratching (except to other diamonds), they are not indestructible. When your jewellery isn’t being worn, we recommend storing your pieces individually in their original packaging in a cool, dry place to avoid contact with other diamond pieces.


MIXING METALS

The hardness of a metal is determined by the metal type and karat (9K, 14K, 18K & Platinum). For this reason, it is highly advised metals of the same karat are worn with each other to ensure the longevity and appearance of your pieces.


CLEANING AND SERVICING

We offer complimentary lifetime servicing. As part of this service, your ring will be given a thorough inspection, clean, polish, and tightening of stones (if required). It is a condition of your warranty that you are required to have your ring serviced and cleaned every 12 months, by the in-house jewellers of LOUISE JEAN.

If your ring is crafted in white gold, it will require re-plating in Rhodium. Rhodium plating is included as a complimentary service with your service and clean once per year. 

You can also clean your jewellery at home by wiping it with a lint-free cloth or with warm water, mild soap, and a gentle brush.
