Product Care

Your Capablanca creation is precious and refined, and with proper care, its original beauty will endure for years to come.

 Daily Considerations:

• Handling with Care: Always handle your Capablanca jewelry delicately to preserve its original beauty.
• Strenuous Activities: Remove your jewelry during strenuous activities that may involve impact or abrasion, which can lead to irreversible damage.
• Handwashing & Chemical Contact: Avoid wearing jewelry while washing hands or using household chemicals to prevent corrosion, discoloration, and potential allergic reactions.
• Temperature Changes: Remove jewelry before exposure to abrupt temperature changes, as certain gemstones may fracture.
• Swimming: Avoid wearing jewelry in saltwater or chlorinated pools, and be cautious of cold water, which could cause rings to slip off.
• Cosmetic Application: Remove jewelry before applying lotions, perfumes, hair spray, or cosmetics to prevent residue buildup and maintain its luster.
• Sun Exposure: Limit sunbathing and extended exposure to direct sunlight, as it may damage specific gemstones.
• Gardening & Sand Activities: Remove jewelry when gardening or engaging in sand-related activities to prevent abrasive contact on metal and gemstones.
• Sleeping: Take off jewelry while sleeping to avoid potential impact, swelling, and bodily harm from uncontrolled movements.

 Precautionary Measures:

• Inspection: Regularly inspect your Capablanca jewelry, checking mechanical parts for functionality and ensuring gemstone settings are secure.
• Storing: Store items separately in a soft pouch, their original box, or a fabric-lined case to prevent metal-to-metal and stone-to-stone contact. Chains should be closed and laid flat to avoid tangling.

 Maintenance:

• Regular Cleaning: Clean your jewelry regularly to prevent residue buildup and maintain its sparkle. For at-home cleaning, use a very soft brush with lukewarm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and wipe with a soft cloth.
• Professional Servicing: Schedule professional servicing at least once a year. This can include steam cleaning or a comprehensive assessment with recommendations for re-polishing, re-finishing, or refurbishing. For jewelry containing lapis lazuli, coral, pearls, turquoise, emeralds, or clusters of stones, professional cleaning is strongly recommended.

 By following these guidelines, you can ensure your Capablanca jewelry remains as beautiful and cherished as the day you acquired it.
