Exploring Elegant Symbolism in our High Jewelry Settings

Our tips for maintaining your ring settings

Within our House in Paris, gold is the alloy primarily used for our models of rings, earrings, wedding bands, and other jewelry for women or men. In white gold, rose gold, or platinum, rings are certainly the piece of jewelry with the most significant symbolic meaning among all jewelry. Indeed, engagement rings are the symbol of a deep and eternal love, just like wedding bands, with the round shape of the ring being synonymous with infinite love. White gold, rose gold, or yellow gold, this metal can sometimes tarnish over time due to the ups and downs of daily life. It is therefore important to properly maintain your rings so that they retain their quality, brilliance, and durability.
Regarding black rhodium-plated white gold, pay particular attention to the setting because the vintage style of these pieces is achieved through a process that darkens the white gold: so be careful not to remove the black rhodium plating.
If you do not wish to call upon a jeweler or another jewelry professional, know that your home is very likely full of everyday products that can clean your rings and other jewelry. The maintenance of your beloved gold ring poses no particular difficulty. However, it requires meticulous care. Equip yourself with a cloth to gently rub your bracelets, rings, necklaces, earrings, gemstones, and other metals.
First of all, keep in mind that daily cleaning is to be avoided! Indeed, this could risk altering the quality of your jewelry because gold is an alloy that does not require daily cleaning.
Cleaning your white gold or rose gold ring can very well be done with water and soap. In principle, it is enough to soak the jewelry in a solution, gently scrub it with a soft-bristled brush to remove dirt, rinse it with water, and then let it dry inside a cotton or clean cloth. For the basic solution, you can choose between a mixture of water and Marseille soap, water and baking soda, or hot water and white vinegar.
As is often the case with engagement rings, if your gold ring is set with precious stones, use a solution of warm water and Marseille soap or dish soap. Other products may alter the quality of the gem. It is important to pay special attention to your engagement ring because it is undoubtedly the piece of jewelry with the most significant symbolic meaning in your collection. Moreover, given that you generally wear this ring daily until the end of your life, you must pay particular attention to the color of the metal as well as the quality of the stones to avoid altering the quality of the setting as well as the precious stones (such as sapphire, emerald, ruby, or diamond). The same goes for your wedding ring. Rubies, sapphires, and emeralds are stones that require more meticulous care because they can easily scratch and lose their luster and color. For this reason, never use chemical products or toothbrushes that could scratch and alter the quality of your stones. Also, avoid using toothpaste on the stones or metals of your jewelry.
For satisfactory results, you can also use a toothbrush with lemon juice and gently rub your ring to make it shine and give it a new life. You can also simply soak it, rinse it by gently rubbing it in water with some lemon zest.
For a white gold ring, special attention is recommended. Indeed, the shine of the jewelry comes from the thin layer of rhodium applied to the ring. Over time, this thin layer of rhodium wears off and makes the shine of your jewelry much duller. Whatever the brand, type, size, and model of your ring, be careful not to use any chemical products as they may alter its shine.
If you wish to pay more attention and specific care to your jewelry (especially wedding rings that represent your eternal love), choose to go directly to a jewelry professional who will return your ring to you clean and polished, just like on the first day.
