Care Guide

A short guide to living with your piece — how to wear it, clean it, and keep it, for as long as you have it.


On
  • Put your piece on last — after perfume, lotion, and hairspray have dried
  • Take it off first, before the shower, the pool, the gym, or bed
  • Keep it away from chlorine, saltwater, and household cleaners
Off
  • Store each piece separately, away from other metal
  • Keep out of direct sunlight and humidity
  • Lay chains flat rather than hanging

If your piece was made for a new or healing piercing, treat it gently while the skin settles in.

Healing time

Earlobes typically heal in 6–8 weeks; cartilage, nose, and other piercings can take 3–6 months. Let comfort be the guide, not the calendar.

Daily care
  • Clean twice a day with a saline solution
  • Wash your hands before touching the piercing
  • Leave the jewelry in until fully healed
  • Avoid twisting or rotating the piece

If you notice ongoing redness, swelling, or discharge, remove the jewelry and check in with your piercer or a physician.

Every piece is covered by a one-year warranty against manufacturing defects — issues in workmanship, stone setting, or plating that show up under normal wear.

Not covered
  • General wear or tarnish over time
  • Damage from impact, chemicals, or misuse
  • Loss, or pieces altered outside the atelier

After each wear

Every few weeks
