Care & Info
Every piece from Lumen & Stone Jewelry starts as raw metal and stone on my bench in Asheville. Here is exactly what goes into each ring, chain, and setting, and how to choose the right size.
Fine jewelry ages best with a little attention. Follow these five habits and your piece will keep its shine for decades.
Jewelry left in a drawer tarnishes faster than jewelry worn often. Skin oils help keep silver and gold from dulling.
Keep rings, chains, and earrings in their own soft pouches or lined compartments. Gemstones scratch metal, and chains tangle when tossed together.
Warm water, a drop of mild dish soap, and a soft toothbrush lift most everyday grime. Pat dry with a lint-free cloth before putting a piece away.
Once a year, mail your piece back to the bench or drop it off in Asheville. We check prong settings, polish the metal, and tighten anything that has loosened.
Pools, hot tubs, and perfume sprays are hard on both metal and stone settings. Take rings and chains off before swimming or applying lotion, and put them back on last.
Write to us directly and we'll walk you through it, whether that's measuring a ring size, resetting a family stone, or scheduling a cleaning.
