Wear & Care
Every piece has a story, and a little attention goes a long way in keeping it looking its best. Explore our tips and guidelines to protect, clean, and store your pieces with confidence.
Vintage Jewelry
01 — Daily Care
Gently wipe your piece with a soft, lint-free cloth after wearing. If suitable for the material, clean with mild soap and lukewarm water. Avoid harsh chemicals; use a soft brush to reach delicate details.
Note that products we offer are first cleaned before sale and when finalizing a sale.
02 — Wearing with Intention
Put jewelry on last to avoid snags and product buildup. Remove pieces before showering, swimming, or exercising. Skip delicate items during heavy activity to keep them pristine.
03 — Storing + Protecting
Keep jewelry in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use soft pouches or lined boxes; store silver separately to slow tarnishing.
Shop our jewelry boxes and organizers to care for your pieces beautifully.
Vintage Watches
01 — Keep It Dry
Most vintage watches are no longer water-resistant, even if they once were. Moisture can damage the movement and dial, so we recommend:
- Removing your watch before washing hands, showering, swimming, or exercising.
- Avoiding high humidity and sudden temperature changes.
- Keeping the crown fully pushed in at all times.
02 — Wind With Intention
Manual Watches
- Wind once a day, slowly and smoothly.
- Stop immediately when you feel resistance—over-winding can cause damage.
Automatic Watches
- These self-wind with natural movement.
- A gentle manual wind after periods of rest is perfectly fine.
03 — Clean With Care
A clean watch wears better and lasts longer.
- Wipe the case and crystal with a soft, dry cloth.
- Clean straps based on their material (leather, metal, rubber).
- Avoid introducing any moisture near the crown or case back.
