Jewelry Care & Maintenance

At Ursula Rickmers, we craft our fine jewelry pieces with meticulous care and design them to last. However, to maintain their beauty and longevity, they require gentle handling and regular maintenance. Here are our guidelines for keeping your precious pieces in pristine condition.

Daily Care Tips

1. Avoid Physical Activities: Remove your rings before engaging in exercise, sports, housework, or any strenuous activities that could place unnecessary pressure on your pieces or cause them to snag.
2. Cosmetics Precaution: Take off your jewelry when applying cosmetics, perfumes, or lotions. The chemicals in these products can affect the metals and gemstones, causing build-up or tarnishing the shine.
3. Handle with Care: While sapphires and diamonds are incredibly hard, they are not indestructible. Avoid knocking your jewelry against hard surfaces to prevent chipping or damage. Similarly, gold can dent or bend if subjected to excessive force.

Cleaning Instructions

Regular cleaning is essential to keep your Ursula Rickmers jewelry sparkling. Diamonds, sapphires, and precious metals are durable but can accumulate dirt, affecting their brilliance. Follow these steps to clean your pieces:

1. Soak: Fill a bowl with warm to hot water and add a few drops of dish detergent. Soak your jewelry for about 20 minutes.
2. Brush: Using a soft-bristle toothbrush (a baby toothbrush works well), gently scrub the piece, focusing on areas where grime tends to build up, such as around stone settings.
3. Rinse and Dry: Rinse your jewelry under warm water, gently pat it dry with a soft cloth, and allow it to air dry completely.
4. Polish: Use a jewelry polishing cloth to give your piece a sparkling finish.

Avoid using household cleaners with harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as they can damage or discolor your jewelry.
