Do lab diamonds need special care?

Lab-grown diamonds possess the exact same physical and chemical properties as natural diamonds; they are extremely hard, durable, and retain their luster over time. Although they are low-maintenance and resistant to wear and tear for everyday wear, proper daily care will help your diamond maintain its clear, brilliant luster and keep it looking as good as new for years to come. Specific care instructions are as follows:
1.Cleaning

Lab-grown diamonds easily attract daily oils, dust, and skin residue, which can gradually dim their shine. Clean your jewelry regularly with warm water, gentle mild soap, and a soft brush or microfiber cloth. Rinse completely to remove all soap residue, then pat dry thoroughly with a lint-free cloth to avoid water spots.
2.Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Though lab-grown diamonds are scratch-resistant and chemically stable, harsh substances can tarnish the metal setting and affect the stone’s luster. Keep your diamond jewelry away from household cleaners, bleach, chlorine, perfume, lotion, and cosmetics. Always take off your jewelry before cleaning, bathing, or doing housework.
3.Storage
Although lab-grown diamonds are extremely hard, they can scratch other gemstones or metal accessories, and hard jewelry may also chip the diamond’s sharp edges under collision. Store your diamond pieces individually in a soft pouch or lined jewelry box to prevent friction, scratches, and impact damage.
4.Check Stone Settings Regularly
Daily wear and accidental impact may loosen the diamond prongs and settings. We recommend checking the stone stability frequently. If you notice a loose setting or wobbling stone, stop wearing it immediately and seek professional jewelry inspection and reinforcement to prevent stone loss.
5.Professional Cleaning & Maintenance
Over long-term wear, tiny dirt buildup may accumulate in crevices that daily cleaning cannot reach. Regular professional deep cleaning can effectively restore your lab-grown diamond’s original transparency and brilliant sparkle, keeping your jewelry in perfect condition.
With simple and consistent care, your lab-grown diamond jewelry will retain its stunning shine and elegant beauty for a lifetime.

What is the gold content difference between 10K solid gold and 14K solid gold?

This topic creates much confusion among gold‑jewelry shoppers.
 
Karat (K) indicates the percentage of pure gold mixed with other alloy metals. Both 10K and 14K are real solid gold, not plated or filled jewelry.
  • 10K Solid Gold: 41.7% pure gold + 58.3% alloy metals (copper, silver, zinc etc.)
  • 14K Solid Gold: 58.3% pure gold + 41.7% alloy metals
  • 14K contains a higher proportion of pure gold, resulting in a richer, warmer golden hue.
  • 10K is harder and more scratch‑resistant, making it ideal for pieces intended for heavy everyday wear.
Every product we sell is physically stamped with a “10K” or “14K” purity mark to certify that it is made of pure gold. 10K and 14K are designed to suit different wearing preferences and occasions.

Can it be immersed in seawater or water for long periods of time?

Our jewelry has undergone SGS salt spray testing to evaluate its durability and resistance to corrosion. During extended testing, the pieces maintained their appearance without noticeable discoloration or fading.

While short-term contact with water or seawater is generally acceptable, we recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to water, seawater, harsh chemicals, and similar environments to help preserve the beauty and longevity of your jewelry.

How should I store my jewellery?

You should store your jewelry with care to ensure its longevity and prevent damage. Here are some general guidelines on how to store your jewelry:

1. Store Separately:Store each piece of jewelry separately to prevent them from scratching, tangling, or damaging each other. You can use small pouches, jewelry boxes, or compartments within a jewelry organizer for this purpose.

2. Keep it Dry: Moisture can damage jewelry over time, so make sure to store it in a dry place. Consider using silica gel packets or desiccants to absorb excess moisture in your storage area.

3. Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can fade or damage gemstones and affect the color of metals. Store your jewelry away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

4. Keep Away from Chemicals: Strong chemicals in other brand's perfumes, hair sprays, cosmetics, makeup removers, body oil, sunscreen, deodorant, and cleaning products can damage your jewelry. Always remove your jewelry before using these products. 

5. Label or Organize: If you have a large jewelry collection, consider labeling or organizing your pieces by type, occasion, or style to make it easier to find what you need.

By following these storage guidelines, you can help ensure that your jewelry remains in good condition.

How should I clean my jewellery?

You should clean your jewelry with care to maintain its appearance and shine. Here are some cleaning guidelines:

1. Use a soft cloth: Please use the soft, non-abrasive, and lint-free cloth or chamois enclosed in your order to clean your jewelry gently. This is to remove dirt, oils, or fingerprints. This is usually sufficient to maintain the jewelry's shine.

2. Handle Gemstones with Care: If your jewelry has gemstones, handle them with extra care. Some gemstones can be sensitive to cleaning solutions, so it's best to use gentle methods. Avoid using brushes or abrasive cleaners that may damage the gemstones.

3. Avoid Soaking or Harsh Cleaners: Avoid soaking jewelry in water, especially if it contains gemstones. Additionally, steer clear of "dip" or abrasive jewelry cleaners as they can potentially harm your jewelry.

4. Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect your jewelry to ensure there are no loose gemstones, damaged clasps, or other issues. Identifying and addressing these problems promptly can extend the life of your jewelry.

Please note that different types of jewelry may require different cleaning methods, and if you are unsure about how to clean a particular piece of jewelry, you can also email us. 

How can I protect my jewelry while I'm wearing it?

To protect your jewelry while you're wearing it and ensure it stays in good condition, here are some tips:

1. Remove Jewelry When Swimming: Chlorine in swimming pools and saltwater can be particularly damaging to jewelry. Always take off your jewelry before swimming to prevent potential corrosion or damage.

2. Protect from Physical Impact: Be mindful of physical activities and try to avoid situations where your jewelry might get knocked or bumped. Remove delicate pieces when engaging in strenuous activities or sports to prevent damage.

3. Avoid Excessive Moisture: Moisture can harm jewelry over time, especially if it contains porous gemstones like opals or pearls. Remove your jewelry before bathing or showering, and consider removing it before bedtime to prevent sweat and moisture buildup.

4. Secure Clasps and Fastenings: Make sure clasps, hooks, and fastenings are securely closed to prevent accidental loss. Regularly check for loose or damaged clasps.

5. Rotate Pieces: Avoid wearing the same jewelry pieces every day. Give them a break to prevent excessive wear and tear.

6. Choose Protective Coating Products: We offer protective coating options for some of our products, such as rhodium plating for white gold. These coatings can provide an additional layer of protection against wear and tarnish.

7. Store Properly When Not Wearing: When you're not wearing your jewelry, store it in a dry and secure place. Use individual pouches or compartments to prevent pieces from scratching or tangling.

By following these tips, you can help protect your jewelry and keep it looking beautiful for years to come.
