Your beautiful Gage Diamonds jewelry deserves the best care. Properly caring for your piece will help to maintain its beauty for years to come.
WEAR AND TEAR 
DO
Limit exposure to everyday substances like hairspray,
lotion, perfumes, cosmetics and household cleaners.
DON’T Expose to chemicals, extreme temperatures and air pollution. Doing
so can damage or discolor precious metals and gemstones.
PRO TIP Protect your
pieces from friction against hard surfaces. A simple bump on concrete can chip
or even cause a diamond to fall out!
REMOVAL AND STORAGE 
DO
Store your pieces in a jewelry box with individual
slots.
DO
When traveling, use jewelry rolls or travel cases.
DON’T Wear when…. swimming in a chlorinated swimming pool, working out,
playing contact sports and cleaning your home or garden.
PRO TIP Pearls and
opals draw moisture from the surrounding air, so avoid storing them in a safety
deposit box.
CLEANING 
DO
Have your fine jewelry professionally cleaned and checked every
six months.
DO
Inspect your pieces between check-ups and ask yourself…. Are any
diamonds missing? Does the center stone feel secure or loose? Is the clasp
secure? Does your ring need to be sized up or down? If the piece is white gold,
is there noticeable discoloration?
DO
Clean your jewelry at home with warm water, mild dish soap (not
detergent) and a soft toothbrush. Wash and rinse in a bowl or glass of water.
DON’T Wash directly
over the sink.
DON’T Use
ultrasonic cleaners on emeralds, organic gems, treated stones or other stones
that are sensitive to heat.
PRO TIP Use ultrasonic cleaners with caution, as they
may loosen or chip the stones in your jewelry.
INSURANCE 
DO
Purchase jewelry insurance. It’s the most reliable way to protect
against long-term damage or loss.
DO
Look for insurance that covers theft, accidental loss and
potential damage from daily wear and tear.
DO
Invest in Gage Diamonds’ complimentary six-month After Care
Program. After six months, we strongly suggest purchasing comprehensive
insurance for all fine jewelry.
PRO TIP We recommend
Jewelers Mutual for your insurance needs, but you can also add fine jewelry to
many homeowners/renters’ policies.
BAND & STONE TIPS 
WHITE GOLD
WARNING Daily wear
and exposure to chemicals could cause the rhodium on your white gold jewelry to
gradually wear away, exposing the natural, yellowish-white tone of the metal
underneath. Products with black rhodium will also wear away over time.
PRO TIP White gold rings
can be professionally re-plated to return them to their original luster.
Regular refinishing is recommended for products with black rhodium.
PLATINUM
WARNING Platinum is
more susceptible to small scratches than other metals and may start to lose its
shiny appearance.
PRO TIP Platinum
jewelry can be professionally repolished to restore its sheen.
SILVER
WARNING
Sterling silver may tarnish or dull with exposure to humidity.
PRO TIP Keep your
silver in an airtight container. To remove tarnish, gently rub your piece of
jewelry with a polishing cloth, rinse it thoroughly in warm water and dry
carefully. More extensive tarnish can be removed by a jeweler or with liquid
silver cleaner.
BONUS TIP Avoid
chlorine and bleach, as they accelerate the tarnishing process.
DIAMONDS, MOISSANITES AND OTHER GEMSTONES 
WARNING
Prongs may become loose when snagged or hit against a surface.
This may result in a loose or missing stone.
PRO TIP Professional
inspections are recommended immediately after your jewelry is damaged, hit or
unusually scratched to ensure that the structure of the ring and all gemstones
are intact.
BONUS TIP Sapphires,
emeralds and amethysts are particularly heat sensitive. Avoid exposing these
popular gemstones to extreme temperatures.
