Every piece of Petit Anjou jewelry is carefully handcrafted using the finest precious metals and gemstones. These materials are delicate and it is recommended that you handle them with care. By taking a few precautions, you will be able to maintain the brilliance of your jewelry for many years.

• Remove jewelry before bathing, exercising, and swimming.
• Avoid direct contact with perfumes, lotions, and hairsprays. Apply these products before putting on your jewelry.
• Do not wear jewelry when using household cleaners or bleach.
• Tarnish is inevitable on silver pieces and is a natural process that occurs when sterling silver reacts with elements in the air, such as moisture, creating a darkened layer on the surface. This is simply the metal’s way of protecting itself from environmental exposure.
• To restore the original shine, tarnish on sterling silver pieces can easily be removed with a silver polishing cloth, which is specially designed to lift away the oxidation. Regular use of a polishing cloth will help keep your jewelry looking its best.
• To prevent tarnish, it’s best to store your jewelry in an airtight container when not in use. A simple and effective solution is to use a zip-sealed plastic bag, which reduces exposure to air and humidity, slowing down the tarnishing process. You may also wish to store a small packet of desiccant crystals with your pieces to help absorb any moisture in a humid environment.

If it is determined that the piece can be repaired in our studio, shipping instructions will be provided. Repairs may take 4-5 weeks to complete depending on the nature of the repair. The cost of repairs and shipping will be the responsibility of the customer.
