ARGE Jewelry has been designed and manufactured to the highest quality standards. Proper care and maintenance will preserve the beauty and brilliance of your ARGE Jewelry. We recommend periodically checking clasps and settings to ensure a secure fit. Avoid exposing your jewelry to substances containing bleach or ammonia. Remove your jewelry before bathing in chlorinated water, pools, or the sea. Always put on your jewelry after dressing to avoid contact with perfumes, cosmetics, or other household chemicals. These could severely damage your jewelry.
Storage
When not wearing your jewelry, always store it in its original case. If this is not practical, use a properly lined protective box or bag. To prevent scratches, each piece of jewelry should be stored separately, and bracelets should always be stored flat.
14k Gold
Most gold jewelry can be safely cleaned with a non-abrasive jewelry cleaner. Always rinse thoroughly and dry with a chamois. Never use creamy jewelry cleaners on gold, as they may contain strong abrasives that will scratch the jewelry’s surface.
Silver
Exposure to air, dust, or other elements, particularly those containing sulfur, can cause sterling silver to tarnish more quickly. There are several non-abrasive polishes on the market specifically designed to remove tarnish. Always read the warning label and use caution when using polishes on jewelry containing gemstones.
Gemstones
Special attention should be given to ARGE Jewelry with gemstones. Avoid extreme temperature changes and contact with household chemicals. Never expose stones to hot solutions, abrasive cleaners, or ultrasonic cleaners. With the exception of pearls, which require special care, gemstones can be cleaned with a non-abrasive jewelry cleaner.
ARGE Turquoise and Pearl Jewelry require special care to maintain the stones’ best appearance. Never let these stones come into contact with creams, ammonia-based liquids, nail polish remover, or chlorinated water (pools, etc.).
