Jewelry Care by Material

Use the guidance below for the materials in your Madame TJ jewelry. For mixed-material pieces, follow the most delicate material’s instructions. When in doubt, use only a soft, dry cloth and avoid water, heat, chemicals, and ultrasonic cleaning.

Sterling Silver

Wipe after wear with a soft, dry polishing cloth. Store separately in a dry pouch or airtight jewelry bag to slow tarnish. Avoid chlorine, perfume, lotion, household cleaners, and abrasive polishing products.

Rhodium-Plated Silver

Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth only. Do not use silver dips, harsh polishing cloths, or abrasive cleaners, as they can wear away the rhodium finish. Remove before swimming, bathing, or exercise.

Larimar

Clean with a soft, dry cloth. Keep Larimar away from prolonged sunlight, heat, chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, and steam cleaners. Remove before swimming or bathing, and store away from harder stones that may scratch it.

Roman Glass

Roman Glass is delicate and should be handled with extra care. Keep it dry and avoid water, perfume, cleaning products, heat, ultrasonic cleaning, and steam. Clean only with a soft, dry cloth; never soak or scrub the glass.

Synthetic Opal

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth and avoid prolonged water exposure, heat, sudden temperature changes, perfume, and harsh chemicals. Do not use ultrasonic or steam cleaners.

Peru Pink Opal

Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid water, cosmetics, perfume, heat, harsh chemicals, and ultrasonic or steam cleaning. Store separately to protect the stone from scratches.

Charoite

Use a soft, dry cloth for routine cleaning. Avoid chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, steam cleaners, and hard knocks. Store Charoite separately from harder gemstones and metal pieces.

Lapis Lazuli

Clean only with a soft, dry cloth. Keep away from water, chemicals, perfume, heat, ultrasonic cleaning, and steam. Lapis Lazuli is a porous stone and should never be soaked.

Black Onyx

Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid strong chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, steam cleaning, and impacts. Store separately to reduce scratching.

Sponge Coral

Clean with a soft, dry cloth only. Keep coral away from water, perfume, cosmetics, hairspray, heat, chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, and steam. Put coral jewelry on last and remove it first.

Turquoise

Turquoise should be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid water, oils, perfume, sunscreen, cosmetics, heat, chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, and steam. Do not soak turquoise, as its color and finish can be affected.

Azurite-Malachite

Wipe carefully with a soft, dry cloth. Keep away from water, acids, perfume, household cleaners, heat, ultrasonic cleaning, and steam. Store separately and avoid impact.

Black Spinel

Clean gently with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and hard impacts. For professional cleaning, ask a jeweler to assess the complete setting before using any machine-based method.

Swiss Blue Topaz

Use a soft, dry cloth for everyday care. Remove before swimming, exercise, or household cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals, strong heat, and sharp impacts.

London Blue Topaz

Clean gently with a soft cloth and avoid chemicals, heat, and impact. Remove before swimming, bathing, exercising, or applying fragrance and skincare products.

White Topaz

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Avoid chemicals, abrasive cleaners, ultrasonic cleaning unless approved by a professional jeweler, and hard knocks that may affect the setting.

Garnet

Clean with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, heat, ultrasonic cleaning, and sharp impacts. Store separately to help prevent scratches and setting damage.

Marcasite

Keep marcasite jewelry dry and clean it with a soft, dry cloth only. Avoid soaking, ultrasonic cleaning, steam, chemicals, and silver dips, as moisture or strong products can affect the setting adhesive and finish.

Cubic Zirconia and White CZ

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Avoid chemicals, lotions, perfume, and abrasive cleaners that can dull the surface. Have a jeweler inspect the setting if a stone feels loose.

Crystal

Clean with a soft, dry cloth and avoid water, perfume, cosmetics, strong heat, ultrasonic cleaners, steam cleaners, and impacts. Store separately to protect the surface.

Diamonds

Wipe diamonds with a soft cloth after wear and keep them away from chlorine, harsh chemicals, and strong impacts. Have prongs and settings checked professionally if a diamond appears loose.
