Jewelry Care

Fine jewelry is made to be worn and loved. A little care keeps it brilliant for years.

Your Genzee lab-grown diamond jewelry is crafted to last. Follow these simple habits to protect its sparkle, shine, and shape.

Everyday Habits

Put jewelry on last. Apply perfume, lotion, hairspray, and makeup first, then add your jewelry.
Take it off before activities. Remove pieces before swimming, showering, exercising, cleaning, gardening, or sleeping.
Avoid harsh chemicals. Chlorine, bleach, and household cleaners can dull metals and damage settings.
Handle with care. Hold jewelry by the band or chain rather than the stone, and avoid knocks against hard surfaces.

Cleaning at Home

Lab grown diamonds are just as hard and durable as natural diamonds, but oils and dust can dim their sparkle. Clean your jewelry every few weeks:

Mix a few drops of mild dish soap into a bowl of warm water.
Soak your jewelry for 15-20 minutes.
Gently brush around the stone and setting with a soft toothbrush.
Rinse in clean, lukewarm water.
Pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Avoid abrasive cleaners, toothpaste, and ultrasonic cleaners unless a jeweler recommends them, as they can loosen stones or scratch metal.

Caring for Your Metal

Yellow Gold: Naturally durable and resistant to tarnish. Clean with mild soap and water to keep its warm glow.

White Gold: Often finished with a rhodium plating for a bright white shine. Over time this plating can wear and reveal a slightly warmer tone. Re-plating by a jeweler restores the original look.

Platinum: Strong and hypoallergenic. It develops a soft, satin patina with wear, which can be polished back to a high shine.

Silver: Silver can tarnish naturally when exposed to air and moisture. Polish gently with a soft silver cloth and store it in an airtight pouch.

Caring for Different Styles

Rings: Check your settings regularly for loose stones, and take rings off during heavy hand work or workouts.

Necklaces & Bracelets: Fasten clasps before storing to prevent tangles, and keep chains away from rough surfaces that can cause kinks.

Hoops & Earrings: Wipe posts and backs after wearing, and store pairs together to avoid scratches.

Storing Your Jewelry

Keep each piece in its original Genzee pouch or box, or in a soft-lined jewelry case.
Store pieces separately so they don’t scratch each other.
Keep jewelry in a cool, dry place, away from humidity, direct sunlight, and heat.
Store silver in an anti-tarnish bag or pouch.

Professional Care

We recommend having your jewelry checked by a professional jeweler once a year. They can inspect prongs and settings, tighten loose stones, polish metal, and re-plate white gold if needed.

Travel Tips

Pack jewelry in a padded case or individual pouches in your carry-on, never in checked luggage.
Avoid wearing delicate pieces in hotel pools, spas, or beaches.
