Maxson Jewelry Care and Handling

Every Maxson Jewelry piece is crafted with a story of its own. It starts with rare or exceptional gemstones and a superb design, followed by hours of dedicated craftsmanship. To bear the Maxson Jewelry name and uphold our high standards, each piece is meticulously examined by our team of quality assurance professionals and gemologists. But the narrative doesn’t stop there. By taking your Maxson jewelry home, you begin a new chapter, and properly caring for your Maxson Jewelry will help maintain its beauty throughout its lifetime.

Our designs are created with the utmost delicacy and should be treated with care to preserve their brilliance. We recommend suitable care and maintenance practices to help retain their beauty. This is crucial for pieces with multiple diamonds and gemstones, like eternity-set bands and micropavé-set engagement and wedding rings. These designs allow for impact exposure to the entire circumference, necessitating careful maintenance and periodic examinations at a Maxson Jewelry boutique.

Jewelry Care

To maintain the allure of your Maxson Jewelry and prevent potential damage to gemstones and metals, we recommend the following precautions:

Avoid exposure to high temperatures, intense heat sources, and sudden temperature shifts.

Steer clear of saltwater, chlorinated water, and contact with lotions, perfumes, soaps, cosmetics, or household chemicals.

Refrain from wearing jewelry during activities that may involve abrasive contact or impact, like sports or gardening.

Be cautious as gemstones can scratch one another and abrade precious metals. Avoid stacking jewelry pieces vulnerable to such abrasion.

Precautionary Measures and Storage

Regularly inspect your jewelry for vulnerabilities. Ensure that mechanical parts, such as clasps on necklaces and bracelets, and ear posts and clips on earrings, are fully functional. Loose or unsecured parts can lead to loss or damage. Additionally, verify that all gemstones are securely set and connections are uncompromised.

Store your jewelry in a soft pouch when not worn, separate from each piece, in its original box from the point of sale, or in a fabric-lined case with compartments to prevent damage from metal-to-stone contact.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Proactive maintenance and cleaning are key to preserving your jewelry's beauty.

Ultrasonic cleaning is unsafe for many gemstones, so we advise against it. Instead, follow these best practices:

Regular Home Cleaning

Regular home cleaning is an easy way to prevent residue buildup. However, only certain pieces are suitable for home cleaning, such as diamonds, sapphires, and rubies.

Use lukewarm soapy water to wash or soak for a few minutes.

Gently use a soft-bristle brush to remove dirt.

Rinse with lukewarm water and dry with a lint-free cotton cloth.

Avoid chemical cleaners.

Prevent exposure to extreme heat or sudden temperature changes to avoid fractures.

Professional Cleaning

Complex items, vintage pieces, or jewelry with softer stones like emeralds, turquoise, coral, pearls, or gemstone beads on a silk string should only be professionally cleaned.

Professional servicing at one of our Maxson Jewelry boutiques is recommended annually or as needed:

Boutique Service: Offers steam cleaning, available only if the jewelry's condition permits and does not address deeper concerns.

Take-In Service: Provides a comprehensive expert assessment and repair recommendations.

Repairs and Restorations
