A. Yes, higher karat gold (such as 18K or 22K) is softer and more prone to wear over time compared to lower karat gold (like 14K or 10K). Lower karat gold is mixed with stronger metals, making it more durable for everyday wear. We're happy to help you choose the best karat for your jewelry based on your needs and lifestyle.

A. Regular cleaning is essential to maintain your jewelry’s beauty and longevity. For pieces worn daily, like rings, we recommend professional cleaning every 6 months. Jewelry that is worn occasionally can be cleaned less frequently. Rings, in particular, need extra care as they come into contact with more surfaces. We're happy to provide cleaning services

A. Yes, some ring settings offer more protection than others. There are various types of settings—some are more delicate, while others provide extra security for your stone. When choosing a setting, it’s important to consider how often you plan to wear the ring. More protective settings, like bezel or channel settings, are ideal for everyday wear, while delicate prong settings may require more maintenance.

These activities can put stress on your ring and may cause damage or loosen the stone. However, wearing your rings during routine tasks, like office work, is generally safe.

To keep your pieces in the best condition, it's best to remove them before getting in the water.
