With the right care, your Vaskia pieces will remain as luminous as the day you first wore them — for a lifetime and beyond.
Care by Metal & Type
14K & 18K Gold
Solid gold is remarkably durable, but daily exposure can dull its brilliance over time.
- Wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth after each wear
- Clean with warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap
- Use a soft-bristle brush for intricate settings and prongs
- Rinse thoroughly and pat dry — never air-dry
- Professional cleaning once or twice per year
Diamonds & Precious Stones
Diamonds attract oils that reduce sparkle. Gemstones vary in hardness and sensitivity.
- Clean diamonds with a soft cloth or gentle jewelry solution
- Avoid ultrasonic cleaners for treated or included stones
- Check prongs periodically — loose settings risk lost stones
- Keep gemstones away from prolonged direct sunlight
- Pearls and opals require extra care — avoid all chemicals
Chains & Delicate Pieces
Fine chains are among the most vulnerable pieces in any collection.
- Always clasp chains when storing to prevent tangling
- Store each chain separately to avoid knotting
- Lay flat or hang — never coil tightly in a drawer
- Hold necklaces by the clasp when putting on
- Have knots professionally untangled — forcing them breaks links
Rings & Bracelets
These endure the most contact with surfaces — remove them regularly to extend their life.
- Remove rings before washing hands, cooking, or cleaning
- Avoid wearing rings during exercise or manual work
- Store rings face-up to protect stones from pressure
- Bracelets: last on, first off
- Inspect clasps and links every few months for wear
The Golden Rules
Always Do
- Put jewelry on after applying makeup, perfume, and hairspray
- Remove jewelry before swimming, bathing, or exercising
- Store each piece individually in a soft pouch or lined box
- Bring pieces in for professional inspection annually
- Clean gently with warm water and a soft brush regularly
- Handle clasps and closures with care
- Keep jewelry away from extreme heat or prolonged sunlight
Never Do
- Never expose to chlorine, bleach, or household chemicals
- Never spray perfume directly onto jewelry
- Never sleep in delicate chains or pendant necklaces
- Never pile jewelry together loosely in a drawer
- Never use toothpaste or baking soda — they are abrasive
- Never tug on chains or settings when removing
- Never ignore a loose stone — have it checked immediately
Storing Your Collection
Keep each piece in its own soft pouch or velvet-lined compartment, away from humidity and sunlight. A dedicated jewelry box with individual slots prevents scratching and tangling — and ensures your collection is always organized and ready to wear.
