| A Note On Jewelry Maintenance As you know, all jewelry requires maintenance. Over time, your metals will wear, causing loose stones and worn prongs. This is considered normal wear and tear for jewelry and can be repaired. These repairs are routine maintenance, not unlike an oil change in your vehicle. And, just like your car, you should have it inspected and repaired by a professional. We advise removing all jewelry while sleeping, showering, cleaning, gardening, or any type of activity where your jewelry could come into contact with volatile chemicals or strong fibers. Chlorine and bleach react to your gold and make it porous and brittle. Jewelry that has been repeatedly exposed to these chemicals cannot be repaired. Please be sure to clean your jewelry with the appropriate chemicals. Even some cleaning solutions sold in stores can hurt jewelry. If you’re unsure about your cleaning products, please bring your jewelry to us to be cleaned and evaluated. And, remember, in order to retain your warranty on your Graham Jewelry purchases, your jewelry must be inspected and cleaned every three months. |
