Care Instructions
At Oval + Pear, we believe your jewellery isn't just an accessory—it's your daily companion. To ensure it stays by your side, sparkling through every moment, a little TLC goes a long way.
Cleaning
Your gems are like little magnets for grease and grime, dimming their sparkle. Fear not, keeping them gleaming is easy:
- Shine On: Buff your piece with a soft cotton cloth—yes, like the one for your sunglasses, but cleaner.
- Gem Glow: Mix warm water with a hint of dish soap. With a soft toothbrush, gently scrub your gems, especially under the setting—grease's favourite hideout. A bi-monthly spa day will keep them dazzling.
- Expert Tip: For information on gem care, the GIA gemstone cleaning guide is your go-to resource.
Maintenance
Like any precious keepsake, your jewellery adores attention:
- Listen Closely: A rattling ring? It might be whispering for help. Give your ring a regular shake to listen for any rattling—as it could mean your stone's setting needs a hug. In that case, we'll tighten up those claws for you.
- Yearly Love: Swing by annually for a check-up. We'll ensure your piece is in tip-top shape, securing its beauty for a lifetime of wear.

- Ring Rest: It’s best to remove your jewellery during:
- Showers, baths, and beauty routines
- Sleeping - claws can get tangled in bedsheets and lift, causing gemstones to become loose
- Workouts - your ring isn't a fan of the gym life
- Kitchen tasks, washing up, and household chores
- Swimming - especially in the ocean
- Any hands-on tasks involving chemicals or heavy force
- When in Doubt: If an activity feels risky for your ring, it probably is. Play it safe. Remove it.
Storage
Where your jewellery rests is as important as where it sparkles. After removing, it’s essential to store safely to reduce damage and loss.
- Keep Them Solo: Store rings individually to prevent unsolicited scratches.
- Keep Them Cozy: Original boxes or pouches make perfect nap spots.
- Keep Them Organised: Jewellery boxes with compartments are both chic and protective.
- Keep Them Secure: Avoid the edge-of-table peril. Have a reserved, designated spot to keep them safe and sound.
